- High beam
- Low beam
In the Subaru Ascent, switching between high beam and low beam headlights is performed using the dimmer control integrated into the turn signal lever. This system allows the driver to quickly adapt lighting intensity depending on road conditions, visibility, and oncoming traffic.
When the high beam is activated in the Subaru Ascent, the corresponding high
beam indicator light "
"
will illuminate on the combination meter, providing clear visual confirmation to
the driver.
Headlight flasher

CAUTION
Avoid holding the lever in the flashing position for extended periods. Prolonged activation may place unnecessary load on the electrical system of the Subaru Ascent.
To activate the headlight flasher function in the Subaru Ascent, pull the lever toward you and then release it. The high beam headlights will remain illuminated only while the lever is held in position, making this function ideal for briefly signaling other drivers or improving visibility momentarily.
When using the headlight flasher or when the high beam is engaged, the high beam
indicator light "
"
will also illuminate on the instrument cluster, ensuring the driver is always aware
of the current lighting mode.
The Subaru Ascent lighting control system is designed to provide precise and responsive operation, allowing drivers to adjust visibility instantly while maintaining full control and awareness in varying driving conditions.
