Subaru Forester: Light control switch
The light control switch only operates when the ignition key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Regardless of the position of the light control switch, the illuminated lights are turned off when the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch.
NOTE
- Even if the key is removed from the
ignition switch, the lights can be illuminated
by operating the light control
switch position from “OFF” to “”
and/or “
”.
- If the driver’s door is opened while the lights are illuminated and the key is removed from the ignition switch, the chirp sound informs the driver that the lights are illuminated.
- Use of any lights for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause the battery to discharge.
- Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the light control switch is turned to the “OFF” position. If the vehicle is left unattended for a long time with the light control switch set to a position other than “OFF”, the battery may be discharged.
