Cleaning the camera
If dirt or foreign matter, such as water droplets, snow, or mud, has stuck to the camera, you will not be able to see the image clearly. If that happens, splash the camera with a large amount of water and then wipe the camera lens clean with a soft, damp cloth.
NOTICE
● The panoramic view monitor may stop functioning correctly. Take note of the following items:
• Do not hit or apply a forceful impact on the camera. Doing so may change the position and mounting angle of the camera.
• The camera is designed to be waterproof. Do not detach, disassemble, or modify it.
• When washing the camera lens, splash the camera with a large amount of water and then wipe the camera lens clean with a soft, damp cloth. Rubbing the camera lens forcibly may scratch the camera lens and you may no longer be able to see images clearly.
• The camera cover is made of resin. Do not allow an organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner, or glass coating to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not pour hot water on the vehicle in cold weather or apply other rapid changes of temperature.
• If you wash the vehicle with a high pressure car washer, do not point the hose directly at the camera or camera area. Applying strong water pressure may result in the camera malfunctioning.
● If the camera is hit, it may cause a camera malfunction. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
