Interior equipment/Rear view camera
.
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. Mov-
ing backward only by checking
the rear view image from the
camera could cause an accident.
.
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.
We recommend that you contact
your SUBARU dealer for an in-
spection. Continued use may
result in accident, fire or electric
shock.
CAUTION
.
If your vehicle is washed with a
high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to contact the camera
directly. Entry of water into the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.
.
Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to strong
impacts. Otherwise, malfunction,
fire or electric shock may occur.
.
If mud or snow sticks to or is
frozen on the camera, you must
be very careful when removing it.
Otherwise, damage to the camera
may cause a fire or electric
shock. Pour water or lukewarm
water over the camera to remove
mud and ice, and wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth.
.
Do not put a flame close to the
camera or wiring. Otherwise, da-
mage or fire may occur.
.
When replacing the fuse, be sure
to use a fuse with the specified
rating. Use of a fuse with a
different rating may result in a
malfunction.
.
If the rear view camera is used for
a long time while the engine is
not operated, the battery may
become completely discharged.
NOTE
.
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.
.
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.
.
The camera lens has 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.
.
Strong light shined on the camera
lens may develop vertical lines around
the light source. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
.
Under the fluorescent light, the dis-
play may flicker. However, this is not a
malfunction.
.
The image of the rear view camera
may be slightly different from the
actual color of the objects.
