Headlight beam leveler (if equipped)
The vehicle has High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights on the low beam setting. The HID headlights generate more light than conventional halogen headlights. Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle may experience too much glare when your headlight beam height adjustment is high due to the vehicle carrying a heavy load. The headlight beam leveler can be used to adjust beam height to avoid such a condition.
Adjust the headlight beam level with the following dial positions according to the number of passengers and load condition.

Wiper and washer
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the windshield washer until the wind- shield is sufficiently warmed by the defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can freeze on the windshield, blocking your view.
CAUTION
. Do not operate the washer con- tinuously for more than 10 sec- onds, or when the washer fluid tank is empty. This may cause overheating of the washer motor. Check the washer fluid level frequently, such as at fuel stops.
. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield or rear window is dry. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield or rear window, always use the wind- shield washer.
. In freezing weather, be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window before switching on the wipers. Attempting to operate the wiper with the blades frozen to the window glass could cause not only the wiper blades to be damaged but also the wiper mo- tor to burn out. the wiper blades are frozen to the window glass, be sure to operate the defroster, windshield wiper dei- cer (if equipped) or rear window defogger before turning on the wiper.
If
. If the wipers stop during opera- tion because of ice or some other obstruction on the window, the wiper motor could burn out even if the wiper switch is turned off. If this occurs, promptly stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position and clean the window glass to allow proper wiper op- eration.
. Use clean water if windshield washer fluid is unavailable. In areas where water freezes in winter, use SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluid or the equivalent.
Refer to “Windshield washer fluid” F11-31.
Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing tempera- tures, use non-freezing type wi- per blades.
. Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzine. This will cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
NOTE . The wiper operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “Acc” position. . The front wiper motor is protected against overloads by a circuit breaker. If the motor operates continuously under an unusually heavy load, the circuit breaker may trip to stop the motor temporarily. If this happens, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the wiper switch, and wait for approxi- mately 10 minutes. The circuit breaker will reset itself, and the wipers will again operate normally. . Clean your wiper blades and win- dow glass periodically with a washer solution to prevent streaking, and to remove accumulations of road salt or
Instruments and controls 3-35
road film. Operate the windshield washer for at least 1 second so that washer solution will be sprinkled all over the windshield or rear window. . Grease, wax, insects or other mate- rial on the windshield or the wiper blade results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you cannot remove those streaks after operating the washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer sur- face of the windshield or rear window and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the window glass and wiper blades with clean water. The glass is clean if no beads form on the glass when you rinse with water. . If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this procedure, replace the wiper blades with new ones. For replacement instructions, refer to “Replacement of wiper blades” F11-32.

WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convex mirror and farther away than when viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use the convex mirror to judge the distance of vehicles behind you when changing lanes. Use the inside mirror (or glance backwards) to determine the actual size and dis- tance of objects that you view in convex mirror.
The remote control mirrors operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “Acc” position. 1. Press either end of switch, “L” for the left, “R” for the right. 2. Move the direction control switch in the direction you want to move the mirror. 3. Return the selection switch to the neutral position to prevent unintentional operation.

For models with the automatic climate control system, it is possible to have the defogger and deicer system for the con- tinuous operation mode set by a SUBARU dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer for details.
If the battery voltage drops below the permissible level, continuous operation of the defogger and deicer system is can- celed and the system stops operating.
CAUTION
. To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not operate the defogger and deicer system con- tinuously for any longer than necessary.
. Do not use sharp instruments or window cleaner containing abra- sives to clean the inner surface of the rear window. They may damage the conductors printed on the window.

Although this climate control system can be used as a full-automatic climate control system, it can also, if desired, be used as a semi-automatic climate control system. When it is used as a full-automatic climate control system, the outlet air temperature, fan speed, airflow distribution, air inlet control, and air conditioner compressor operation are all automatically controlled to maintain a constant, comfortable tem- perature inside the vehicle.
NOTE . Operate the automatic climate con- trol system when the engine is running. . When the engine coolant is cold, the blower does not run. . In the “AUTO” mode, when the air temperature in the passenger compart- ment is sufficiently cool, the air condi- tioner compressor does not operate.
