cally turn on and turn off depending on the  
locking and unlocking of the doors, the  
opening and closing of the doors including  
the rear gate, as well as the position of the

With the sun visor positioned over the side  
window, you can use the sun visor exten-

between the sun visor and center pillar. To  
use the extension plate, pull it toward the

finished using it, stow it by pushing it  
toward the front of the vehicle.  
To block out glare, swing down the visors.  
To use the sun visor at a side window,  
swing it down and move it sideways.

which the lights remain on (OFF delay  
timer) can be changed by a SUBARU  
dealer. Contact your SUBARU dealer  
for details. The setting can also be  
changed by operating the combination  
meter display (color LCD). For details,
