Subaru Forester: Headlights / Auto on/off headlights
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, the instrument panel illumination,
headlights, parking lights, front side marker
lights, rear side marker lights, tail lights
and license plate lights are automatically
on or off depending on the level of the
ambient light.
NOTE
- The sensitivity of the auto on/off
headlights can be changed by a
SUBARU dealer. Consult your SUBARU
dealer for details. Also, for models with
a combination meter display (color
LCD), the setting can be changed using
the display. For details, refer to “Vehicle
Setting”.
- If the light control switch is in the
“AUTO” position and the headlights do
not turn on when it becomes dark
outside, turn the light switch to the
position. If this happens, have
your vehicle inspected by your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
While the light control switch is in the
“AUTO” position, the headlights will automatically
turn on when the windshield
wipers operate several times...

WARNING
Never tow a trailer when the temporary
spare tire is used. The temporary
spare tire is not designed to sustain
the towing load. Use of the temporary
spare tire when towing can result
in failure of the spare tire and/or less
stability of the vehicle...
WARNING
Always use safety chains between
your vehicle and the trailer. Towing
trailer without safety chains could
create a traffic safety hazard if the
trailer separates from the hitch due
to coupling damage or hitch ball
damage.
In case the trailer hitch connector or hitch
ball should break or become disconnected,
the trailer could get loose and
create a traffic safety hazard...
