of the camera. Have the camera

inspected by your SUBARU deal-

er as soon as possible.

. Do not use a steam cleaner under

any circumstances. Some types

of steam cleaners inject hot

steam.

. The camera surface may be da-

maged by a flying stone.

NOTE

If the camera lens is contaminated, no

sharp image is available. When the

camera is contaminated with water

drops, snow or mud, wash it with water

and wipe away any moisture with a soft

cloth. If it heavily gets dirty, wash it with

a neutral detergent.

7-19. Rear View Camera

s07br

A rear view camera is attached to the trunk

lid (Legacy) or rear gate (Outback/Subaru

Outback Wilderness). When the ignition

switch is in the “ON” position and the select

lever is set to “R”, the rear view camera

automatically displays the rear view image

behind the vehicle on the center informa-

tion display.

WARNING

. Since the rear view camera uses a

wide-angle lens, the image on the

monitor is different from the

actual view in terms of distance.

. Since the range of the image on

the monitor is limited, always

check the rear view and the

surrounding area with your eyes

and mirrors, and move backward

at a slow speed. Moving back-

ward only by checking the rear

view image from the camera

could cause an accident.

. Do not disassemble or modify the

camera, switch or wiring. If

smoke comes out or you smell a

strange odor, stop using the rear

view camera immediately. Con-

tact your SUBARU dealer for an

inspection. Continued use may

result in accident, fire or electric

shock.

CAUTION

. When washing your vehicle with

a high-pressure washer, do not

allow water to touch the camera

directly. Entry of water in the

camera lens may result in con-

densation, malfunction, fire or

electric shock.

. Since the camera is a precision

device, do not subject it to strong

impacts. Otherwise, malfunction,

fire or electric shock may occur.

. If mud or snow sticks to or is

frozen on the camera, you must

be very careful when removing it.

Otherwise, damage to the camera

may cause a fire or electric

shock. Pour water or lukewarm

water over the camera to remove

mud and ice, and wipe it with a

soft, dry cloth.

. Do not put a flame close to the

camera or wiring. Otherwise, da-

mage or fire may occur.

. When replacing the fuse, be sure

to use a fuse with the specified

rating. Use of a fuse with a

different rating may result in a

malfunction.

. If you use the rear view camera

for a long time while the engine is

not operated, the battery may

become completely discharged.

NOTE

. Do not wipe the camera with alcohol,

benzine or paint thinner. Otherwise,

discoloration may occur. To remove

contamination, wipe the camera with a

cloth moistened with a diluted neutral

detergent. Then wipe it with a soft, dry

cloth.

. When waxing the vehicle, be careful

not to apply the wax to the camera. If it

comes in contact with the camera,

moisten a clean cloth with a diluted

neutral detergent to remove the wax.

. The camera lens has a hard coating

to help prevent scratches. However,

when washing the vehicle or cleaning

the camera lens, be careful not to

scratch the camera lens. Do not use a

washing brush directly on the camera

lens. The image quality of the rear view

camera may deteriorate.

. Strong light shined on the camera

lens may develop vertical lines around

the light source. This is not a malfunc-

tion.

. Under the fluorescent light, the dis-

play may flicker. However, this is not a

malfunction.

. The image of the rear view camera

may be slightly different from the actual

color of the objects.

. If there is a malfunction on the center

information display, refer to “Malfunc-

tions of the Center Information Dis-

play” �P498.

& How to Use the Rear View

Camera

s07br01

When the select lever is set to “R”, the rear

view camera automatically displays the

rear view image from the vehicle. When

the lever is set to other positions, the

image before setting to “R” is displayed.

1. Set the ignition switch to “ON”.

2. Set the select lever to “R”.

NOTE

. The image of the rear view camera is

horizontally reversed as is the case

with the vehicle inside mirror or the

outside mirror.

. When “Rear Camera Delay Control”

is on, the rear view image will be

displayed on the center information

display for a certain period of time after

the select lever is shifted to a position

other than the “P” position from “R”. To

turn the function on and off, refer to

“General settings” �P221 (11.6-inch

display models) or “General settings”

�P239 (dual 7.0-inch display models).

. It may be difficult to see the image of

the rear view camera in the following

cases. This is not a malfunction of the

camera.

– The vehicle is in a dark place (at

night, in a tunnel, etc.).

– The vehicle is in an extremely hot

or cold place.

– An object (such as raindrops,

snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the

view of the rear view camera sticks

to the lens of the camera.

s07br03

The help lines are a guide to help you

realize the actual distance from the screen

image.

several seconds after turning on the

ignition switch, the warning message

may not be displayed. Wait for several

seconds after turning on the ignition

switch before shifting to the “R” range.

6) Vehicle centerline

7) Dynamic guidelines

When the select lever is set to “R”, the

monitor screen displays the help lines

CAUTION

. When moving backward, always

check the back with your eyes

without relying on the help lines.

Otherwise, it may cause an acci-

dent or injury.

. The actual position may be differ-

ent from the indication of the help

lines.

. Differences may occur due to the

number of passengers or the

loaded cargo.

. When the vehicle is on a slope or

inclined against the road, the

indication is different from the

actual position.
