Windshield Glass: Removal: Notes

CAUTION:
  • Before handling the airbag system components, refer to "CAUTION" of "General Description" in "AIRBAG SYSTEM". Ref. to AIRBAG SYSTEM>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>CAUTION .
  • Always remove the glass windshield after the stereo camera is removed.
  • Always use the Subaru genuine windshield glass specially designed for EyeSight. (If the windshield glass other than the glass specially designed for EyeSight is used, the visibility of the camera is blocked or the distortion of the glass prevents the correct measurement of the object, resulting in the EyeSight abnormal operation.) If the windshield glass is installed after removal or replaced, always perform the "INSPECTION" and "Adjustment and check" of the stereo camera. Inspection: Ref. to EYESIGHT (DIAGNOSTICS)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>INSPECTION . Adjustment and check: Ref. to EYESIGHT>CAMERA ADJUSTMENT, INSPECTION .
  • If the damage is found in the glass repair prohibited area, always replace the glass. Damage, dirt, aftermarket part installation or sticker attachment in the prohibited area can affect the recognition of each camera, and thereby the EyeSight and high beam assist functions may not operate properly. Ref. to CAUTION>CHECK WINDSHIELD GLASS INCLUDING PROHIBITED AREA FOR MODEL WITH HBA AND EYESIGHT .
