Driving tips

it more prone to tip over.

D If you must rock the vehicle to free it from sand or

mud, depress the accelerator pedal slightly and

move the selector lever back and forth between “D”

and “R” repeatedly. Do not race the engine. For the

best possible traction, avoid spinning the wheels

when trying to free the vehicle.

When the road surface is extremely slippery, you

can obtain better traction by starting the vehicle with

the transmission in 2nd than 1st (both for MT and

AT).

D Never equip your vehicle with tires larger than

those specified in this manual.

D Frequent driving of an AWD vehicle under hard-

driving conditions such as rough roads or off roads

will necessitate more frequent replacement of engine

oil, brake fluid and transmission oil than that specified

in the maintenance schedule described in the “War-

ranty and Maintenance Booklet”.

Remember that damage done to your Subaru while

operating it off-road and not using common sense

precautions such as those listed above is not eligi-

ble for warranty coverage.

Winter driving

HG8001AA

J Operation during cold weather

Carry some emergency equipment, such as tire

chains, a window scraper, a bag of sand, flares, a

small shovel, and jumper cables.

Check the battery and cables. Cold temperatures

reduce battery capacity. The battery must be in

good condition to provide enough power for cold

winter starts.

Use an engine oil of proper grade and viscosity for

cold weather. Heavy summer oil will cause harder

starting.
