Illumination brightness con-
trol
When the headlight switch is in the
“ ” or “ ” position, you can ad-
just brightness of the instrument panel illu-
mination for better visibility.
To brighten, turn the control dial upward.
To darken, turn the control dial downward.
Headlight beam leveler (U.S.-
spec. WRX-STI)
The WRX-STI version has High-Intensity
Discharge (HID) headlights on the low
beam setting. The HID headlights gener-
ate more light than conventional halogen
headlights. Therefore a driver of an on-
coming vehicle may experience too much
glare when your headlight beam height
adjustment is high due to the vehicle car-
rying heavy load.
The headlight beam leveler can be used
to adjust beam height to avoid such a con-
dition.
The higher the number the knob is turned
to, the lower the beam becomes.

less of the ignition switch position.
By pushing the front end of this switch, fol-
lowing lights will come on.

To turn off, push the rear end of the park-
ing light switch.
Avoid leaving these lights on for a long
time because that will run down the bat-
tery.
