stop or an accident.
.
Do not store spray cans, contain-
ers with flammable or corrosive
liquids or any other dangerous
items in the storage compart-
ment.
Rear view camera (if
equipped)
A rear view camera is attached to the rear
gate. When the ignition switch is
“
ON
”
and
the shift lever (MT models) or select lever
(CVT models) is set to
“
R
”
, the rear view
camera automatically displays the rear
view image behind the vehicle on the multi
function display.
WARNING
.
Since the rear view camera uses
a wide-angle lens, the image on
the monitor is different from the
actual view in terms of distance.
.
Since the range and field of view
of the image on the monitor is
limited, you should always check
the rear view and the surround-
ing 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.
.
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, 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.
