SUBARU SAFETY SENSE CAMERA AND SENSOR
PRECAUTIONS
Your SUBARU Safety Sense camera and radar sensors are precision components that
must be kept free from obstruction and contamination. Always observe the following
precautions regarding the camera and radar sensors:
• Always keep the windshield clean. If the inside of the windshield where the front camera
is installed becomes dirty, contact your Subaru Retailer.
• Do not attach stickers (including transparent stickers) or other items to the area of the
windshield in front of the camera or on the inside of the windshield in an area that could
obstruct the camera's operation. See page 113 for details.
• Do not damage the lens of the front camera or allow it to become dirty. When cleaning
the inside of the windshield, do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens of the front
camera. If the lense of the front camera is dirty or damaged, contact your Subaru
Retailer.
• Do not modify any parts around the front camera, such as the inside rear view mirror or
ceiling.
• Keep the radar sensors and radar sensor covers clean at all times. Use a soft cloth to
clean the sensors so as to avoid marking or damaging them.
• Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers), aluminum tape, etc.
to a radar sensor, radar sensor cover, or the surrounding area
• Do not subject a radar sensor or its surrounding area to impact. If a radar sensor, the
front grille, or front bumper has been subjected to a impact, have the vehicle inspected
by your Subaru Retailer.

WINDSHIELD GLASS AND DASHBOARD

The SUBARU Safety Sense camera is a precision component and it is important that the
area in front of and around the camera be kept free from dirt, scratches, cracks, fogging,
or accessories mounted to the windshield, hood or dashboard. Visual impairments or
reflections can affect system performance. Extra caution should be taken when cleaning
the windshield to prevent over-spray from cleaning solutions.
The image in the following section outlines those areas that must be kept clean and free
from obstruction. Please refer to the Owner's Manual for a complete listing of limitations.
