Subaru Expert Shares Trick for Driving in Bad Weather

A Subaru expert has shared a useful trick for driving in bad weather, specifically for cleaning dirty backup cameras.

"Tell me why the sales guy didn't tell me this."

According to @youngsubaruogden, a TikTok creator and car dealer, newer model Subarus come with a feature that releases wiper fluid to clean the backup camera lens when it's covered in mud, rock salt, or other substances.

Drivers can operate this feature from inside the car by twisting and holding the rear windshield washer, which sprays windshield washer fluid out of a separate nozzle above the camera.

This Subaru PSA has gained over 600 thousand views on TikTok.
