NOTE
Even when the operation conditions of
the High Beam Assist function are met,
there may be a case in which the High
Beam Assist indicator does not illumi-
nate and an abnormal condition warn-
ing is given. In this case, turn the
ignition switch to "OFF" position and
then "ON" position again. Check if the
High Beam Assist indicator illuminates.
If the indicator does not illuminate, we
recommend that you have the vehicle
inspected at a SUBARU dealer.
! How to change the headlight mode
manually
Change to the low beam:
When you return the turn signal lever to
the center position, the high beam assist
function will turn off and the High Beam
Assist indicator will turn off.
Change to the high beam:
When you turn the light control switch to
the position, the headlight mode will
be changed to the high beam. At this time,
the High Beam Assist function will turn off,
the High Beam Assist indicator will turn off
and the high beam indicator light will turn
on.
NOTE
After manually changing the headlight
mode to the high beam, if you turn on
the High Beam Assist function, return
the light control switch to the "AUTO"
position.
! Tips for the High Beam Assist
system
. The High Beam Assist function recog-
nizes the conditions surrounding the ve-
hicle based on the brightness of illumina-
tion ahead of your vehicle, etc. Therefore,
the headlight mode may switch in some
situations that do not match to the driver s
sense.
. A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be
detected.
. Under the following situations, the
brightness of ambient illumination may
not be detected correctly and the High
Beam Assist function may not work
properly. As a result, the glare of the high
beam may disturb the oncoming vehicle or
vehicle ahead. Also, the low beam mode
may continue although there are no
oncoming vehicles and vehicles ahead.
In the such cases, change the headlight
mode manually.
In bad weather (fog, snow, sand
storm, heavy rain, etc.)

hicle ahead is driven without its head-
