in a trac accident.
*: If equipped with a CD player
CAUTION
l Although the unit can be used when the ignition switch is set
to either “ACC” or “ON” position, to protect the battery, start the
engine before using the unit.
l Do not use the unit anywhere other than in a vehicle. Doing so
may result in an electric shock or other injury.
l While driving, keep the volume low enough for you to hear
outside sounds. Driving while not being able to hear sounds from
outside the vehicle may result in an accident.
l Be careful of the volume when turning on the power. If a loud
noise is emitted suddenly when you turn on the power, it may
damage your hearing.
l Do not apply a strong force to the display. Doing so may result in a
malfunction.
l Do not put your ngers or hands into the disc slot. Doing so may
result in an injury.*
l Do not touch the hot parts of the unit. The hot parts may burn you.
l Do not use while there is an abnormality such as sound breakup or
distortion. Doing so may result in a re.
l Using the unit during extremely high or low temperature may
result in mistaken operation or a malfunction. In particular, the
temperature inside the vehicle can often rise to a high level during
the summer. Cool the vehicle, for example by opening a window,
before using the unit.
l Be careful if metal or water enters the unit, or the unit is exposed
to a strong impact, because it may result in a malfunction.
l The touch buttons on the display screen may not operate correctly
if condensation forms inside them. If this happens, do not attempt
to operate the switches until the condensation has disappeared.
l If juice or similar liquid is spilled on the display, wipe o
immediately. Failure to do so may result in product malfunction.
l The screen is easily marked by ngerprints and tends to attract
dust, and should therefore be cleaned occasionally. When
cleaning, turn o the power, and wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth.
To remove dirt, soak a soft cloth in neutral detergent and squeeze
well before wiping. Do not use a wet oor-cloth, organic solvents
(benzene, ethanol, thinner, etc.), acids, or alkalis. Using such
agents will result in screen deterioration. Furthermore, do not hit
the screen or rub it with hard objects.

NOTE
l SUBARU CORPORATION is not responsible for any damages to the
purchaser or third parties that occur from using the map data.
l We do not provide any replacements or refunds for any mistakes
there may be in the map data displays or contents, such as
misspelling, omissions or misaligned positions.
l SUBARU CORPORATION makes no guarantee that the functions
included in the map data will be appropriate for the specic
objectives of the purchaser.
l Functions that cannot be operated while driving have their colors
toned down when the vehicle is being driven, and their operation is
disabled. Touching a disabled switch may result in the display of an
operation prohibited message on the screen.
l During strong vibrations, such as when driving on a poor road
surface, the unit may no longer be able to read the data from the
disc, and it will not operate correctly. When the vibration lessens,
normal operation will return after a short time.*
l Immediately after turning on the heater when the temperature is
low, dew (water drops) may adhere to the lens of the CD reader
(condensation). If this happens, leaving the unit for about an hour
should remove the condensation and return the unit to normal
operation.*
If the unit does not return to normal operation even after several
hours, contact your SUBARU dealer.
l When using the unit for the rst time after purchase, or after the
battery was removed for a long time, the current position may not
be displayed correctly. Wait a short time until the GPS positioning
corrects the displayed position.
NOTE
l This device is precision-engineered equipment and the recorded
data can be lost as a result of static electricity, electrical noise,
vibration, or other inuences. To protect the device against data
loss, we recommend keeping a separate record of the data that you
record after purchase.
l The screen may be adversely aected or disturbed by noise if
electrical equipment that generates powerful electrical noise is used
near the system. In such cases, keep the electrical equipment at a
distance, or refrain from use.
l The display may appear brighter when the temperature is low,
or immediately after starting the engine, however, this is a
characteristic of the LED elements, and does not indicate a fault. The
display will return to its original brightness when the vehicle cabin
has warmed up.
l When you look at the screen through polarized material such as
polarized sunglasses, the screen may be dark and hard to see. If so,
look at the screen from dierent angles, adjust the screen settings on
the general settings screen or take o your sunglasses.
l It may be dicult to view the screen if the display is exposed to
sunlight from an awkward angle.
l The LCD screen may not function normally if covered with a
protective lm. Do not ax a protective lm.

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.
•Do not put anything other than an appropriate disc into the
disc slot.*
*: If equipped with a CD player
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.
TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
175

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.
SiriusXM®
● Cargo loaded on the roof luggage carrier, especially
metal objects, may adversely aect the reception of

labeled discs such as those shown in the illustrations. The use of
such discs may damage the player, or it may be impossible to eject
the disc.
l This system is not designed for use of Dual Discs. Do not use Dual
Discs because they may cause damage to the player.
l Do not use discs with a protection ring. The use of such discs may

Correct
Wrong
● Handle discs carefully, especially when inserting them.
Hold them on the edge and do not bend them. Avoid
getting ngerprints 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 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-RW 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.
● Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played using the
DDCD (Double Density CD) system.

● The player is compatible with VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
● MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) are audio
compression standards.
● This system can play AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA les on
CD-R*, CD-RW discs*, USB memory device, and Bluetooth
device.
*: If equipped with a CD player
● This system can play disc recordings compatible with ISO
9660 level 1 and level 2 and with the Romeo and Joliet
le system.*
*: If equipped with a CD player
● When naming an AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA le, add an
appropriate le extension (.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
● This system plays back les with .mp3/.wma/.m4a le
extensions as AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA les respectively.
To prevent noise and playback errors, use the appropriate
le extension.

● This system can play only the rst session when using
multi-session compatible CDs.*
*: If equipped with a CD player
● MP3 les are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1,
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats. This system cannot display
disc title* (folder name), track title* (le name) and artist
name in other formats.
*: If equipped with a CD player
● WMA/AAC les can contain a WMA/AAC tag that is used
in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry
information such as track title* (le name) and artist
name.
*: If equipped with a CD player
● This system can play back AAC les encoded by iTunes.
● The sound quality of MP3/WMA les generally
improves with higher bit rates. In order to achieve a
reasonable level of sound quality, discs* (USB memory
device) recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are
recommended.
*: If equipped with a CD player
● The MP3/WMA player does not play back MP3/WMA les
from discs recorded using packet write data transfer (UDF
format). Discs should be recorded using “pre-mastering”
software rather than packet-write software.*
*: If equipped with a CD player
● m3u playlists are not compatible with the audio device.
● MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio device.
● When playing back les recorded as VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) les, the play time will not be correctly displayed if
the fast forward or rewind operations are used.
● It is not possible to check folders that do not include
AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA les.
● AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA les in folders up to 3 levels
deep can be played. However, the start of playback may
be delayed when using discs* (USB memory device)
containing numerous levels of folders. For this reason, we
recommend creating discs* (USB memory device) with no
more than 2 levels of folders.
*: If equipped with a CD player

● The play order of the compact disc* (USB memory device)
with the structure shown above is as follows:
001.mp3 002.wma . . . 006.m4a
The play order will change according to the playback
method.

● The play order may change depending on the personal
computer and AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA encoding
software that were used.
● WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression
format developed by Microsoft®. It compresses les into a
size smaller than that of MP3 les. The decoding formats
for WMA les are Ver. 7, 8 and 9. This product is protected
by certain intellectual property rights of Microsoft
Corporation and third parties. Use or distribution of such
technology outside of this product is prohibited without
a license from Microsoft or an authorized Microsoft
subsidiary and third parties.
● MP3 is an audio compression standard determined by a
working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standard
Organization). MP3 compresses audio data to about 1/10
the size of that on conventional discs.

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.
TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
209
Navigation System
7

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.
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.
TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
210

•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 destination 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
informationon road improvements and reopening is collected
to provide the most accurate information possible. However,
modicationsto 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
Map data can be updated using the following methods:
● USB memory: All map data can be updated at once.
→P.213
● Wi-Fi®: Individual regions can be selected and their map
data updated.* →P.214

NOTE
l Map update using Wi-Fi® or a smartphone may not be available in
some countries.
l For the best possible navigation experience, regularly update
maps for all frequented regions, including nearby states. Failure to
update maps for surrounding states may result in inaccurate map
information during interstate travel. Updates made using a USB
memory device will update map information for all states. Please visit
Subaru.com for more information and the latest updates.
l If the map update fails or cannot be performed when using Wi-Fi®
or a connected smartphone, check the communication status of
