Power folding mirror switch (if
equipped)

The power folding mirror switch operates
when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“ACC” position.
To fold the outside mirrors, press the
power folding mirror switch. To unfold the
mirrors, press the switch again.

NOTE

.

If the outside mirrors have been

operated (folded or unfolded) manually,
when you turn the ignition switch from
the “LOCK”/“OFF” position to the
“ACC” or “ON” position, the outside
mirrors may be adjusted automatically
depending on the status of the power
folding mirror switch.

.

If the outside mirrors have been

manually folded slightly forward of the
regularly unfolded position, when you
turn the ignition switch from the
“LOCK”/“OFF” position to the “ACC”
or “ON” position, the outside mirrors
may automatically fold further forward
depending on the status of the power
folding mirror switch. When this hap-
pens, press the power folding mirror
switch. By doing so, the outside mir-
rors which have been folded to the
furthest forward position will extend to
the regularly unfolded position and
then fold rearward in the usual way. In
order to unfold the outside mirrors,
press the switch again.

.

When you fold the outside mirrors

manually, the mirrors may not unfold
when the switch is pressed, even
though the motor operating sound is
heard. When this happens, operate the
power folding mirror switch again.

.

When you unfold the outside mirrors

manually, the mirrors may become
wobbly. Be sure to unfold the mirrors
by operating the switch. If the outside
mirrors are still wobbly, fold the mirrors
again and then unfold them by operat-
ing the switch again.

.

When the temperature is low, the

outside mirrors may stop during opera-
tion. Push the switch again. When the

outside mirrors do not work by operat-
ing the switch, move the outside mir-
rors several times manually. This
makes it possible to operate them by
switch operation.

.

When you operate the power folding

mirror switch continuously, it may not
work. This is not a malfunction. Operate
after waiting for a short period of time.

.

The outside mirrors can be operated

(folded or unfolded) manually for ap-
proximately 45 seconds after the fol-
lowing conditions are met.

– The ignition switch is turned to
the “OFF” position.
– The door is unlocked using the
access key fob.

!

Power folding door mirror func-
tion (if equipped)

The mirrors are automatically folded when
the power folding mirror switch is in the
mirror unfolding position, the ignition
switch is turned OFF, and the doors are
locked.
The mirrors are automatically unfolded
when the power folding mirror switch is in
the mirror unfolding position and the doors
are unlocked.

NOTE

.

The power folding door mirror func-

tion does not operate when the power
folding mirror switch is in the mirror
unfolding position.

.

The setting of the power folding door

mirrors function can be changed by
operating the center information dis-
play. For details, refer to “Car settings”

F

P223. Also, the setting can be chan-

ged by your SUBARU dealer.
We recommend that you contact your

Solar sensor

2)

Interior air temperature sensor

The automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are treated incorrectly

and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior tempera-
ture correctly. To avoid damaging the
sensors, observe the following precau-
tions:
– Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors.
– Do not cover the sensors.
