About the Map SD Card

When driving using guidance from the navigation system, be sure to follow

the actual road signs and trafc regulations. If road signs and trafc regulations

are changed, the data on the map SD card may be out of date. Also, the

data on the map SD card does not take into account factors such as weather,

time zones, and occurrences such as differences in congestion situations

and temporary road closures due to construction work. Always give precedence

to road signs and trafc rules over instructions from the navigation system.

Not following the road signs and trafc rules could lead to injury or

trafc violations.

All information contained within this Navigation System Quick Reference Guide was

accurate at the time of publication. We reserve the right to change features, operation and/

or functionality of any vehicle specication at any time without incurring any obligation to

make the same or similar changes to products previously sold. Your Subaru dealer is the

best source for the most current information. For detailed operating and safety information,

please consult your Owner’s Manual.
