S06AW
A rear view camera is attached to the rear gate . 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 information 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 backward 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 . Contact 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 condensation , 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 .
