Subaru Forester: Light control switch / High beam assist function (if equipped)
NOTE
- The high beam assist function utilizes
the stereo camera installed at the
position of the front map lights.
- For details on how to handle the
stereo camera, refer to the Owner’s
Manual supplement for the EyeSight
system.
The high beam assist function automatically

vehicle.

the high beam assist function. The
driver always has the responsibility to
understand the surrounding situation,
to drive safely, and to change the
headlight mode manually if necessary.
