Driving tips

– CONTINUED –

Always disconnect the trailer wire harness before

launching or retrieving a watercraft.

When you do not tow a trailer

Remove the ball mount from the hitch receiver tube

and insert the receiver cover onto the hitch receiver

tube.

Place the dust cap over the fou-pin connector of the

hitch wire harness to protect against possible damage.

Occasionally lubricate terminals of the four-pin con-

nector using terminal grease.

Trailer towing

Your car is designed and intended to be used primarily

as a passenger-carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer puts

additional loads on your car’s engine, drivetrain,

brakes, tires and suspension and has an adverse ef-

fect on fuel economy.

If you do decide to tow a trailer, your safety and satis-

faction depend upon proper use of correct equipment

and cautious operation of your vehicle. Seek the ad-

vice of your SUBARU dealer to assist you in purchas-

ing a hitch and other necessary towing equipment ap-

propriate for your vehicle. In addition, be sure to follow

the instructions on correct installation and use provid-

ed by the trailer and other towing equipment manufac-

turers.

SUBARU assumes no responsibility for injuries or ve-

hicle damage that result from trailer towing equipment,

or from any errors or omissions in the instructions ac-

companying such equipment or for your failure to fol-

low the proper instructions.

Warranties and maintenance

SUBARU warranties do not apply to vehicle damage

or malfunction caused by trailer towing. If you use your

vehicle to tow a trailer, more frequent maintenance will

be required due to the additional load. (Refer to “Main-
