The SRH OFF indicator light on the
combination meter illuminates when SRH
is turned off.

indicator light on the combination meter
flashes when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position. It indicates that SRH has
been deactivated. Contact a SUBARU
dealer for an inspection.

3-14. Fog light switch (if
equipped)
The LED headlights produce more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
When the vehicle is carrying a heavy load
and the headlight beams are angled
upwards, the driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience glare.
To prevent this, the automatic headlight
beam leveler adjusts the headlights to the
optimum height automatically depending
on the load the vehicle is carrying.
NOTE
.
.
.
If you turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position with SRH turned off
and then start the engine again, SRH
will automatically turn on.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position, the SRH OFF
indicator light will illuminate and
turn off after several seconds.
SRH only activates when the vehicle
is traveling forward at the speed of
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more.
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the head-
lights may become misaligned, and
the headlight beam leveler will not
reset them to the proper angle. This
may occur after transporting your
vehicle on a flat-bed truck, or if the
vehicle is parked and restarted on
different angles. In such cases, have
the headlight alignment checked by
a SUBARU dealer.
