Subaru Forester: Light control switch / Daytime running light system

WARNING

When the daytime running lights are illuminated, the tail lights do not illuminate. When it becomes dark outside, turn the light switch to the position to illuminate the headlights and tail lights. This will improve visibility and allow other drivers to see your vehicle more easily.

The daytime running lights will automatically illuminate when the following conditions are fulfilled.

• The engine is running.
• The parking brake is fully released.
• The light control switch is in the “AUTO”, or off position.
• The select lever is in a position other than the “P” position.

NOTE

When the light switch is in the position, the instrument panel illumination, front side marker lights, tail lights and license plate lights are also illuminated.
