LIGHT CONTROLS
1AUTO:Rotate the end of the lever to set
your headlights to automatically turn on
or off, depending on the level of light
outside. When in the “AUTO” position,
the headlights will automatically turn on
when the windshield wipers operate
several times.
NOTE: The sensitivity of the automatic
headlights can be adjusted through the
STARLINK
®multimedia display.
2Parking Lights:Rotate the end of the lever to turn on the instrument panel
illumination, parking lights, side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights.
3Headlights:
Rotate the end of the lever to turn on the headlights, instrument panel
illumination, parking lights, side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights. To flash
the headlights, pull the lever toward you, then release. The high beams will stay on as
long as you hold the lever. The headlight flasher works even with the headlight control
switch in the off position.
4High Beams:Push the lever forward to change from low beam to high beam. When
set to the “AUTO” position, pushing the lever forward also activates the High Beam
Assist (HBA) system. Pull the lever back to center to return to low beam.
5Fog Lights:If equipped, rotate the dial to turn on the fog lights when the headlights
are on low beams in the “
” or “AUTO” position.
Illumination Brightness
When the light controls are on
(in the
,, or “AUTO”
position), and ambient light is low,
rotating the illumination
brightness dial on the instrument
panel upward will make the
instrument panel illumination
brighter. When the dial is fully
rotated upward (dots aligned), the
instrument panel illumination
stays at full brightness. Rotating
the dial downward dims the
instrument panel illumination.
When the ambient light is bright,
the illumination brightness is set
to the maximum regardless of the position of the control dial.

EYESIGHT®OVERVIEW
Your Subaru features a variety of safety
systems that are the culmination of everything
Subaru Engineers know about safety. These
systems are referred to as “Driver Assist
Technologies” and add confidence to every
trip you and your passengers take. Working
together, these systems provide enhanced
awareness, safety, and convenience in front,
to the sides, and behind your Subaru. Subaru
Driver Assist Technologies include:
• EyeSight
®Driver Assist Technology
• Rear-Vision Camera
• Pre-Collision Braking
• Front View Monitor
• Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
• Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
• High Beam Assist (HBA)
• Lane Departure Prevention
• Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)

Blind Spot Detection / Rear Cross Traffic Alert OFF
BSD/RCTA can be turned on or off in the
Center Information Display (CID):
1Select the “Car Settings” icon.
2In the “Driving Assistance” menu, select
“BSD/RCTA” to turn the function on or
off.
When this function is off, a yellow BSD/RCTA OFF indicator will be
displayed in Combination Meter Display (CMD).
HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)
This function uses the EyeSight®cameras to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low beam settings, enhancing safety for
both you and other drivers on the road. To activate High Beam Assist,
set the headlight control switch to the “AUTO” position and push the
headlight lever forward to the high beam position. The green HBA
indicator illuminates on the Combination Meter.
HBA automatically activates the high beams when the forward area is dark, there are no
preceding/oncoming vehicles or sharp curves in the road, and your speed is approximately
20 mph or greater. When an preceding/oncoming vehicle is detected, the forward area is
bright, your speed decreases to 10 mph or less, or the EyeSight
®system is malfunctioning
or is temporarily stopped, HBA automatically switches to low beams.

STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS (SRH)
The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) system aims the headlight beams in the
direction you are steering, improving visibility at corners and intersections when driving at
night. You can turn the SRH system on or off in the Center Information Display through the
“Car Settings” icon.
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)(if equipped)
This system uses four rear bumper mounted
sonar sensors to detect objects when moving
between 1 and 9 mph in reverse. RAB uses
the Rear-Vision Camera image to display
colored proximity alerts when an object is
detected. As an object becomes closer to the
rear of your vehicle, audible beeps provide
additional awareness in progressive levels.
If RAB determines that a collision with an
object is possible, the system can
automatically apply the brakes to help prevent
or minimize the impact.
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) OFF
In some cases, such as connecting a trailer, it may be helpful to temporarily turn the
system off. RAB can be turned off using the touchscreen buttons on the lower corners
when the select lever is in the “R” position.
Select and hold the “RAB ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen
until it changes to “RAB OFF” to disable the automatic braking functions of
the RAB system.
Select and hold the “P))) ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen until
it changes to “P))) OFF” to disable the audible beeping of the RAB system.
