Be sure to visually check the vehicle’ s surroundings and use the vehicle’ s rear-view and side mirrors.

• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emergency tires
• When the front door( s) or back door are not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat, such as hills
• If the tires of a size other than specified by SUBARU are installed
• If the suspension has been modified
• If a non-SUBARU product is installed on the area displayed on the screen
● In low external temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may not be able to see the image on the screen, so always visually check your surroundings while you are driving.
