Do not use any feature of this system to the extent it
becomes a distraction and prevents safe driving. The rst
priority while driving should always be the safe operation
of the vehicle. While driving, be sure to observe all trac
regulations.
Prior to the actual use of this system, learn how to use it and

REAR VIEW CAMERA
REAR VIEW CAMERA
A rear view camera is attached to the trunk lid or rear gate.
When the ignition switch is “ON” and the shift lever (Manual
transmission models) or select lever (Continuously variable
transmission models) is set to “R”, the rear view camera
automatically displays the rear view image behind the
vehicle. The rear view camera image is displayed on this
system.
WARNING
l Since the rear view camera uses a wide-angle lens, the image
on the monitor is dierent from the actual view in terms of
distance.
l Since the range of the image on the monitor is limited, you
should always check the rear view and the surrounding area
with your eyes and mirrors, and move backward at a slow
speed. Moving backward only by checking the rear view
image from the camera could cause an accident.
l Do not disassemble or modify the camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell a strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately. Contact your SUBARU dealer
for an inspection. Continued use may result in accident, re or
electric shock.
l Do not remove the SUBARU genuin
e navigation and/or audio
system. If the SUBARU genuine navigation and/or audio
system is removed, the rear view camera image and help
lines (distance marker, dynamic guidelines and vehicle width
lines) will no longer be displayed.

CAUTION
l If your vehicle is washed with a high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to contact the camera directly. Water entering the
camera may cause condensation on the inside of the camera
lens, damage and malfunction of the camera.
l Since the
camera is a precision device, do not subject it to
strong impacts. Otherwise, malfunction, re or electric shock
may occur.
l If
mud or snow sticks to the camera, or it freezes up, you must
be very careful when removing it. Pour water or lukewarm
water over the camera to remove mud and ice, and wipe it
with a soft, dry cloth.
l Do
not try to melt snow or ice o of the camera using heat.
Otherwise, damage to the camera may occur.
l When replacing the fuse,
be sure to use a fuse with the
specied rating. Using a fuse with a dierent rating may result
in a malfunction.
l If the rear
view camera is used for a long time while the
engine is not operated, the battery may become completely
discharged.
NOTE
l Do not wipe the camera with alcohol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may occur. To remove contamination,
wipe the camera with a cloth moistened with a diluted neutral
detergent and then wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
l When waxing the vehicle, be careful not to apply the wax to the
camera. If it comes in contact with the camera, moisten a clean
cloth with a diluted neutral detergent to remove the wax.
l The camera lens has a hard coating to help prevent scratches.
However, when washing the vehicle or cleaning the camera lens,
be careful not to scratch the camera lens. Do not use a washing
brush directly on the camera lens. The image quality of the rear
view camera may deteriorate.
l Strong light shined on the camera lens may develop vertical
lines around the light source. This is not a malfunction.
l Under
uorescent light, the display may icker. However, this is
not a malfunction.
l The image of the rear view camera may be slightly dierent from
the actual color of the objects.

This system supports Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a wireless
data system that enables cellular phones to be used without
being connected by a cable or placed in a cradle.
The operating procedure of the phone is explained here.
WARNING

Bluetooth phone.
l This system is tted with Bluetooth antennas. People with
implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter debrillators
should maintain a reasonable distance between themselves
and the Bluetooth antennas. The radio waves may aect the
operation of such devices.
l Before using Bluetooth phones, users of
any electrical
medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers,
cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter debrillators should consult the manufacturer
of the device for information about its operation under the
inuence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected
eects on the operation of such medical devices.
CAUTION
l Do not leave your cellular phone in the vehicle. The
temperature inside may rise to a level that could damage the
phone.
NOTE
l If your cellular phone does not support Bluetooth, this system
cannot function. Certain functions may not be available

hands-free voice commands are used.
l Talk alternately with the other party on the phone. If both parties
speak at the same time, the other party may not hear what has
been said. (This is not a malfunction.)

TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
OPERATING INFORMATION
CAUTION
l To avoid damage to the audio system:
•
Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio system.
•
8-inch with Navi system/8-inch system/6.5-inch system plus
only: Do not put anything other than an appropriate
disc into
the disc slot.
NOTE
l The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause
a noise from the speakers of the audio 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 is from 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.

HL8_US.indb 167 2021/04/20 9:21:04
FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the eective 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 transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reective, making 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 utter or loss of reception.
Static and uttering: These occur when signals are blocked
by buildings, trees or other large objects. Increasing the
bass level may reduce static and uttering.
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 reected by the upper
atmosphere — especially at night. These reected 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 reected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station are very nearly the
same frequency, they can interfere with each other, making
it dicult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily aected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening or
electrical motors. This results in static.

● 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 sunlight.
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 “nalizing 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 the
lens of the unit.
● It may not be possible to play discs recorded on a
personal computer depending on the application
settings and the environment. Record with the
correct format. (For details, contact the appropriate
application manufacturers of the applications.)
● CD-R/CD-R
W discs may be damaged by direct
exposure to sunlight, high temperatures 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.

TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING
SYSTEM)
REGARDING ERRORS IN CURRENT
POSITION DISPLAY
The system displays the vehicle current position based on
GPS information and data from various sensors and road
maps. However, when the radiowave signals from GPS
satellites are weak or when signals are received from only
two satellites or less, errors may occur in the position.
Modifying or adjusting the system will not prevent these
errors.
LIMITATIONS OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation system calculates the current position using
satellite signals, various vehicle signals, map data, etc.
However, an accurate position may not be shown depending
on satellite conditions, road conguration, vehicle condition
or other circumstances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) developed and
operated by the U.S. Department of Defense provides
an accurate current position, normally using 4 or more
satellites, and in some case 3 satellites. The GPS system
has a certain level of inaccuracy. While the navigation
system compensates for this most of the time, occasional
positioning errors of up to 300 feet (100 m) can and should
be expected. Generally, position errors will be corrected
within a few seconds.
The GPS signal may be physically obstructed, leading to
inaccurate vehicle position on the map screen. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of objects on the
instrument panel may obstruct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals due to repairs or
improvements being made to them.
Even when the navigation system is receiving clear GPS
signals, the vehicle position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in some cases.
HL8_US.indb 203 2021/04/20 9:21:17
TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
204
CAUTION
l The installation of window tinting may obstruct the GPS
signals. Most window tinting contains some metallic content
that will interfere with GPS signal reception of the antenna in
the instrument panel. We advise against the use of window
tinting on vehicles equipped with navigation systems.
● Accurate current position may not be shown in the
following cases:
• When driving on a small angled Y-shaped road.
• When driving on a winding road.
•
When driving
on a slippery road such as in sand,
gravel, snow, etc.
•
When driving on a long straight road.
•
When freeway and surface streets run in parallel.
•
After moving by ferry or vehicle carrier.
•
When a long route is searched
during high speed
driving.
•
After
repeating a change of direction by going
forward and backward, or turning on a turntable in
a parking lot.
•
When leaving
a covered parking lot or parking
garage.
•
When a roof carrier is installed.
•
When driving with tire chains installed.
•
When the tires are worn.
• After replacing a tire or tires.
• When using tires that are smaller or larger than the
factory specications.
• When the tire pressure in any of the 4 tires is not
correct.
● Inappropriate route guidance may occur in the
following cases:
• When turning at an intersection o the designated
route guidance.
• If you set more than 1 destination but skip any of
them, auto reroute will display a route returning to
the destination on the previous route.
•
When turning
at an intersection for which there is
no route guidance.
•
When passing through an intersection for which
there is no route guidance.
•
During auto reroute, the route guidance may not be
available for the next turn to the right or left.
•
During high speed driving, it may take a long time
for auto reroute to operate. In auto reroute, a detour
route may be shown.
•
After auto reroute, the route may not be changed.
•
If an unnecessary U-turn is shown or announced.
•
If
a location has multiple names and the system
announces 1 or more of them.
•
When a route cannot be searched.
•
If the route to your destinatio
n includes gravel,
unpaved roads or alleys, the route guidance may
not be shown.

• Your destination point might be shown on the
opposite side of the street.
• When a portion of the route has regulations
prohibiting the entry of the vehicle that vary by time
or season or other reasons.
•
The road
and map data stored in the navigation
system may not be complete or may not be the
latest version.
NOTE
l This navigation system uses tire turning data and is designed to
work with factory-specied tires for the vehicle. Installing tires
that are larger or smaller than the originally equipped diameter
may cause inaccurate display of the current position. The tire
pressure also aects the diameter of the tires, so make sure that
the tire pressure of all 4 tires is correct.
MAP DATA
REGARDING ROADS AND PLACE NAME
DATA
When maps are created, land surveys are conducted
and information
on road improvements and reopening
is colle
cted to provide the most accurate information
possible. However, modications to roads, place names and
facilities may be carried out at any time. Consequently, we
cannot guarantee that map data contains no errors in road
positions, conguration and names, or in facility names.
SUBARU MAP UPDATE
