SRH is a function that automatically moves  
the headlight beam to the left or right in  
accordance with the steering angle and  
vehicle speed. This function helps to  
improve the visibility at night by illuminat-  
ing the road ahead at corners and inter-  
sections.

equipped)  
The LED headlights produce more light  
than conventional halogen headlights.  
When the vehicle is carrying a heavy load  
and the headlight beams are angled  
upwards, the driver of an oncoming vehicle  
may experience glare.  
To prevent this, the automatic headlight  
beam leveler adjusts the headlights to the  
optimum height automatically depending  
on the load the vehicle is carrying.  
NOTE  
.
.
.
If you turn the ignition switch to the  
“OFF” position with SRH turned off  
and then start the engine again, SRH  
will automatically turn on.  
When you turn the ignition switch to  
the “ON” position, the SRH OFF  
indicator light will illuminate and  
turn off after several seconds.  
SRH only activates when the vehicle  
is traveling forward at the speed of  
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or  
more.  
CAUTION  
In certain circumstances, the head-  
lights may become misaligned, and  
the headlight beam leveler will not  
reset them to the proper angle. This  
may occur after transporting your  
vehicle on a flat-bed truck, or if the  
vehicle is parked and restarted on  
different angles. In such cases, have  
the headlight alignment checked by  
a SUBARU dealer.
