driver’s control center differential has a
malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected
by your SUBARU dealer. For details, refer
to“Driver’s Control Center Differential (C.
DIFF/DCCD) (STI)”F7-18.
If a malfunction occurs in the vehicle (for
example, when the rear differential oil
becomes hot), all of the indicators may
disappear. In this case, the setting value
for the initial limited slip differential (LSD)
torque of the driver’s control center differ-
ential (C.DIFF/DCCD) will be cancelled.
However, it does not indicate a malfunction
of the C.DIFF/DCCD itself.

&Daytime running light system
WARNING
When the daytime running lights are
illuminated, the tail lights do not
illuminate. When it becomes dark
outside, turn the light switch to the
“
”position to illuminate the head-
lights and tail lights. This will im-
prove visibility and allow other dri-
vers to see your vehicle more easily.
The daytime running lights will automati-
cally illuminate when the following condi-
tions are fulfilled.
.The engine is running.
.The parking brake is fully released.
.The light control switch is in the“AUTO”
(if equipped),“
”or off position.
.For CVT models, the select lever is in a
position other than the“P”position.
NOTEWhen the light switch is in the“
”
position, the instrument panel illumina-
tion, front side marker lights, tail lights
and license plate lights are also illumi-
nated.
Steering Responsive Head-
light (SRH) (if equipped)1) The target area of illumination when SRH
is activated
2) The target area of illumination when SRH
is not activatedSRH is a function that automatically moves
the headlight beam to the left or right in
accordance with the steering angle and
vehicle speed. This function helps to
improve the visibility at night by illuminat-
ing the road ahead at corners and inter-
sections.NOTESRH only activates when the vehicle is
traveling forward at the speed of ap-
proximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and over.
&To turn on/off the SRHOperate the combination meter display
(color LCD) to turn on/off the SRH. For
details, refer to“SRH”F3-43.SRH OFF indicatorThe SRH OFF indicator on the combina-
tion meter turns off when SRH is turned on.
The SRH OFF indicator on the combina-
tion meter illuminates when SRH is turned

&Tips for operating the audio/
visual system
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the audio/visual
system:
.Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/visual system.
.Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc
slot.NOTEThe use of a cell phone inside or near
the vehicle may cause a noise from the
speakers of the audio/visual system
which you are listening to. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
!Radio
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with the
radio—it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or phone wires can interfere with AM
signals. And of course, radio signals have
a limited range. The farther the vehicle isfrom a station, the weaker its signal will be.
In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem
with the radio are described.
!FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for 2 signals to reach the
vehicle’s antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being
listened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.!AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at
night. These reflected signals can interfere
with those received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.
!SiriusXM (if equipped)
.Cargo loaded on the roof luggage
carrier, especially metal objects, may
adversely affect the reception of SiriusXM
Satellite Radio.
.Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may in-
validate the user’s right to operate the
equipment.

Low quality discsLabeled discs
CAUTION
.Do not use special shaped, trans-
parent/translucent, low quality or
labeled discs such as those
shown in the illustrations. The
use of such discs may damage
the player, or it may be impossi-
ble to eject the disc.
.This system is not designed for
use of Dual Discs. Do not use
Dual Discs because they may
cause damage to the player.
.Do not use discs with a protection
ring. The use of such discs may
damage the player, or it may be
impossible to eject the disc.
.Do not use printable discs. The
use of such discs may damage
the player, or it may be impossi-
ble to eject the disc.
1) Correct
2) Wrong.Handle discs carefully, especially when
inserting them. Hold them on the edge and
do not bend them. Avoid getting finger-
prints on them, particularly on the shiny
side.
.Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes or
other disc damage could cause the player
to skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To
see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the light.)
.Remove discs from the players when
not in use. Store them in their plastic cases
away from moisture, heat and direct sun-
light.

To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint-
free cloth that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the
center to the edge of the disc (not in
circles). Dry it with another soft, lint-free
cloth. Do not use a conventional record
cleaner or anti-static device.
!CD-R/RW discs
.CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the“finalizing process”(a
process that allows discs to be played on
a conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
.It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-
RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer because
of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on thelens of the unit.
.It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the
environment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropri-
ate application manufacturers of the appli-
cations.)
.CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high tem-
peratures or other storage conditions. The
unit may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
.If you insert a CD-RW disc into the
player, playback will begin more slowly
than with a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
.Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double Den-
sity CD) system.
