Be sure to lower the antenna rod before entering garages, parking towers and other locations with low ceilings. . Remove the antenna rod before washing your car at a car wash. If the antenna rod is left attached, it may scratch the roof. . When reinstalling the removed antenna rod, be sure to fully tighten it. 1) Unscrew 2) Remove The roof antenna is installed in the center at the rear part of the roof. It is possible to remove the antenna rod by unscrewing it from its base. & FM reception Although FM is normally static free, reception can be affected by the surround- ing area, atmospheric conditions, station strength and transmitter distance. Build- ings or other obstructions may cause momentary static, flutter or station inter- ference. reception continues to be unsatisfactory, switch to a stronger station. If Black plate (168,1) XMTM satellite radio reception (if equipped) XMTM is a continental U.S. based satellite radio service that offers more than 160 coast to coast channels, including music, news, sports, talk and children’s program- ming. XMTM provides digital quality audio and text information, including song title and artist name. A service fee is required to receive the XMTM service. For more information, contact XMTM at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM- RADIO (1-800-967-2346) for U.S., www.xmradio.ca or 1-877-GET-XMSR (1- 877-438-9677) for Canada. The XMTM satellite radio receiver that is fitted to your vehicle receives the neces- sary signals from two specially designated satellites that are in a geostationary orbit over the equator. One satellite covers the east coast and the other covers the west coast. Both of their signals north. These signals are then relayed throughout the USA by a network of ground repeater stations. The satellite radio signals are transmitted as “line of sight” signals. Line of sight signals can be blocked by objects such as buildings, but the network of repeater stations allows signal coverage within urban areas such as cities. them direct 北米Model "A8140BE-B" EDITED: 2008/ 2/ 28 You may experience problems in receiving XMTM satellite radio signals in the follow- ing situations. . If you are driving northward in a coastal area the XMTM satellite You will notice that radio antenna is fixed to the upper right hand corner of your windshield. Black plate (169,1) Audio 5-3 . If you are driving in a tunnel or a covered parking area . If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway . If you drive under a bridge . If you are driving next to a tall vehicle (such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the signal . If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block the signal from the south . If you are driving on a mountain road where the southern direction is blocked by mountains . If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (33 ft (10 m) or more), for example on a road that goes through a dense forest . The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the repeater station network. Please note that these may be other unforeseen circumstances when there are problems with the reception of XMTM satellite radio signals. The signal comes from the south and may not be able to reach the antenna in some circumstances when you are driving north. 北米Model "A8140BE-B" EDITED: 2008/ 2/ 28 Black plate (170,1) 5-4 Audio Installation of accessories Always consult your SUBARU dealer before installing a citizen band radio or other transmitting device in your vehicle.

Electrical power from the battery is available at any of the outlets when the ignition switch is in either the “Acc” or “ON” position. You can use an in-vehicle electrical appliance by connecting it to an outlet. The maximum power rating of an appli- ance that can be connected varies among outlets as indicated below. Do not use an appliance which exceeds 120W for each outlet. When using appliances connected to two outlets simultaneously, the total power consumed by them must not exceed 120W. Black plate (205,1) Interior equipment 6-9 CAUTION . Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the accessory power outlets. .
