This comprehensive PDF file contains the complete, original Navigation System owner’s manual for the 2009 Subaru Forester and Subaru Impreza. Because the complex, factory-installed Kenwood touchscreen multimedia and navigation unit requires far more instruction than the standard radio, Subaru provided this thick, dedicated supplemental manual alongside the main vehicle owner’s manual. This detailed guide is absolutely essential for owners to fully utilize the system’s extensive features, safely program destinations, and troubleshoot pairing issues, ensuring a connected and clearly routed driving experience.
The manual covers the following key topics in detail:
- System Overview and Basic Operation: A detailed introduction to the touchscreen interface and physical button layout. It provides crucial instructions on basic functions, screen brightness adjustment, volume controls, and the initial setup process (including setting the clock and language preferences).
- GPS Navigation Operation (The Core Feature): Essential details on navigating the mapping software. It thoroughly covers the various methods for entering a destination (by address, Point of Interest, map selection, or coordinates), saving favorite locations to the address book, modifying route preferences (e.g., avoiding toll roads), and understanding the map display and voice guidance prompts.
- Bluetooth Hands-Free Calling: A full breakdown of the telephone integration. It provides a step-by-step guide to pairing a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, downloading the phonebook, making and receiving calls via the touchscreen or steering wheel controls, and troubleshooting common connection issues.
- Audio and Entertainment: Detailed instructions for navigating the premium audio features. It covers the operation of the AM/FM radio, the CD/DVD player, the auxiliary input (for connecting external media players), and utilizing the specific audio tuning controls to maximize the sound quality.
- Voice Recognition System: Best practices for operating the system hands-free. It explains how to use voice commands to control the navigation, audio, and telephone systems, minimizing driver distraction.
- System Settings and Troubleshooting: Guidance on customizing the unit’s behavior. It includes instructions for adjusting system beeps, screen colors, and camera settings (if a backup camera is equipped), as well as a comprehensive troubleshooting section to resolve common errors and glitches.
Whether you need to remember how to pair a new smartphone, understand how to set your home address in the GPS, or figure out how to adjust the navigation voice guidance volume independently of the radio, this supplemental manual is a vital resource for mastering the multimedia system in your 2009 Subaru Forester or Impreza.
