Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Headlights (models without HID headlights)

CAUTION

Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare hands or greasy gloves, fingerprints or grease on the bulb surface will develop into hot spots, causing the bulb to break. If there are finger prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them away with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.

NOTE

• If headlight aiming is required, consult your SUBARU dealer for proper adjustment of the headlight aim.
• It may be difficult to replace the bulbs. Have the bulbs replaced by your SUBARU dealer if necessary.
