Battery

WARNING

Before beginning work on or near

any battery, be sure to extinguish
all cigarettes, matches, and light-
ers. Never expose a battery to an
open flame or electric sparks.
Batteries give off a gas which is
highly flammable and explosive.

For safety, in case an explosion

does occur, wear eye protection
or shield your eyes when working
near any battery. Never lean over
a battery.

Do not let battery fluid contact

eyes, skin, fabrics, or paint be-
cause battery fluid is a corrosive
acid. If battery fluid gets on your
skin or in your eyes, immediately
flush the area with water thor-
oughly. Seek medical help imme-
diately if acid has entered the
eyes.

If battery fluid is accidentally
swallowed, immediately drink a
large amount of milk or water,
and seek medical attention im-
mediately.

To lessen the risk of sparks,

remove rings, metal watchbands,
and other metal jewelry. Never
allow metal tools to contact the
positive battery terminal and any-
thing connected to it WHILE you
are at the same time in contact
with any other metallic portion of
the vehicle because a short cir-
cuit will result.

Keep everyone including children

away from the battery.

Charge the battery in a well-

ventilated area.

Battery posts, terminals and re-

lated accessories contain lead
and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive
harm. Batteries also contain
other chemicals known to the
State of California to cause can-
cer.

Wash hands after handling

CAUTION

Never use more than 10 amperes
when charging the battery because
it will shorten battery life.

It is unnecessary to periodically check the
battery fluid level or periodically refill with
distilled water.

For “SUBARU STARLINK Safety and
Security” without navigation system:
When the vehicle battery is discharged or
replaced, certain internal settings can be
restored only by pairing the vehicle to a
smartphone via Bluetooth, or by visiting a
SUBARU dealer. Until those internal set-
tings are restored, certain convenience
features, including the “Service Appoint-
ment Scheduler,” may be unavailable.

Fuses

CAUTION

Never replace a fuse with one having
a higher rating or with material other
than a fuse because serious damage
or a fire could result.

The fuses are designed to melt during an
overload to prevent damage to the wiring
harness and electrical equipment. The
fuses are located in two fuse boxes.

One is located under the instrument panel
behind the fuse box cover on the driver’s
seat side. To remove the cover, pull it out.

Spare fuses

The other one (main fuse box) is housed in
the engine compartment. Also, the spare
fuses are stored in the fuse box cover.

The fuse puller is stored in the main fuse
box in the engine compartment.

Pinch the upper part of the fuse puller
when removing it from the main fuse box.

Good

Blown

If any lights, accessories or other electrical
controls do not operate, inspect the corre-
sponding fuse. If a fuse has blown, replace
it.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”/
“OFF” position and turn off all electrical
accessories.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Determine which fuse may be blown.
Look at the back side of each fuse box
cover and refer to “Fuses and circuits”
F12-10.

Contact your SUBARU dealer for repairs.

Installation of accessories

Always consult your SUBARU dealer
before installing fog lights or any other
electrical equipment in your vehicle. Such
accessories may cause the electronic
system to malfunction if they are incor-
rectly installed or if they are not suited for
the vehicle.

Replacing bulbs

WARNING

Bulbs may become very hot while
illuminated. Before replacing bulbs,
turn off the lights and wait until the
bulbs cool down. Otherwise, there is
a risk of sustaining a burn injury.

CAUTION

Replace any bulb only with a new
bulb of the specified wattage. Using
a bulb of different wattage could
result in a fire. For the specified
wattage of each bulb, refer to “Bulb
chart” F12-14.

NOTE

For models with type B combination
meter, if SRH is malfunctioning, the
SRH OFF indicator appears on the
combination meter when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position. It
indicates that SRH has been deacti-
vated. Contact a SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.
