Before the beginning of winter, check the condition of underbody

components, such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake

cables, suspension, steering system, floor pan, and fenders. If any of

them are found to be rusted, they should be given an appropriate rust

prevention treatment or should be replaced. Contact your SUBARU

dealer to perform this kind of maintenance and treatment if you need

assistance.

Repair chips and scratches in the paint as soon as you find them.

Check the interior of the vehicle for water and dirt accumulation under

the floor mats because that could cause corrosion. Occasionally

check under the mats to make sure the area is dry.

Keep your garage dry. Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly

ventilated garage. In such a garage, corrosion can be caused by

dampness. If you wash the vehicle in the garage or put the vehicle

into the garage when wet or covered with snow, that can cause

dampness.

If your vehicle is operated in cold weather and/or in areas where road

salts and other corrosive materials are used, the door hinges and

locks, trunk lid lock, and hood latch should be inspected and lubri-

cated periodically.

Cleaning the interior

Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust and dirt. Wipe the vinyl areas

with a clean, damp cloth.

B Seat fabric

Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is

caked on the fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum cleaner, use a

soft blush then vacuum it.

Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly wrung cloth and dry the seat

fabric thoroughly. If the fabric is still dirty, wipe using a solution of mild

soap and lukewarm water then dry thoroughly.

If the stain does not come out, try a commercially-available fabric
