Bluetooth Basics
• The hands-free system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
o The cell phone is turned off.
o The cell phone is not connected
to the hands-free system.
o The cell phone is not in
the phone call area.
o The battery of the cell
phone has run down.
o The cell phone is behind the
seat or in the glove box.
o A metal material covers or
touches the cell phone.
• Depending on the type of cell
phone that is used, not all phones
and phone functions may be
compatible with your vehicle.
• Depending on the type of cell
phone that is used, the screen
on the cell phone may remain
illuminated while the ignition switch
is in the “ON” position. If this occurs,
consult your cell phone manual to
adjust the cell phone settings.
• Depending on the setting of the cell
phone, the dial lock function may
be activated after making a call.
Deactivate the automatic dial lock
function of the cell phone before
using the hands-free system. Do not
perform this operation while driving.
• When the ignition switch is turned
to the “LOCK/OFF” position during
a call, the call may be disconnected
or continued on the cell phone,
depending on the type of cell phone
that is used. Note that operation of
the cell phone may be necessary if the
call is continued on the cell phone.
• Do not speak at the same time as
the other party during a call. If you
and the other party speak at the
same time, it may be difcult for
the other party to hear your voice
and vice versa. This is normal.
• The receiver sound volume should
be set as low as possible. Otherwise,
the party you are calling may notice
an undesirable echo sound.
• Speak clearly and loudly.
• Your voice may be difcult to
hear by the receiving party under
the following conditions:
o Driving on a rough road.
o Driving at a high speed.
o Driving with a window open.
o When air from the ventilator blows
directly toward the microphone.
o When the sound coming
from the ventilator is loud.
o When the cell phone is
positioned too closely to the
vehicle system microphone.
• The sound quality may degrade
due to the quality and operation of
the cell phone that is connected
to the system or the strength
of the Bluetooth network.
• When another Bluetooth device is
simultaneously connected, noise
may be heard in the voice coming
from the hands-free phone.

Your Navigation System will assist you in reaching your destination and, if
used properly, can do so with confidence. To use the system as safely as
possible, follow all safety directions.
Safety
•Before attempting to use this system while driving, make sure you
read the entire Navigation System Owner’s Manual Supplement. Do not
allow others to use this system until they also read the manual and understand
the instructions.
• You should program your destination and select your route only when your vehicle
is not moving. While driving, listen to the voice instructions as much as possible
and only glance at the screen briey and when it is safe to do so.
• The data in the system may occasionally be incomplete as road conditions and
driving restrictions (no left turns, road closures, etc.) change. Before you follow
system instructions, make sure to check whether you can comply with the
instructions legally and safely. Do not be distracted by the navigation screen.
Failure to keep your attention on the road could lead to an accident.
• The system cannot warn you of environmental or street hazards or the availability
of emergency systems. If you are unsure about the safety of an area, do not drive
into it.
• Use this system only where it is legal to do so. Some states may have laws
prohibiting the use of video screens within the driver’s sight.
And remember, this system is never a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment.
As soon as the vehicle is turned on or the engine is started, the opening screen
(SUBARU STARLINK™) appears followed by the CAUTION screen. Read the
instructions on the screen, then touch I AGREE when illuminated. To start the
Navigation System, press the map button on the audio system panel or the home
button on the audio system panel followed by the “Map” soft key.
