the tank whenever the low fuel warning

light comes on. Engine misfires as a

result of an empty tank could cause

damage to the engine.

CAUTION

. Never add any cleaning agents to

the fuel tank. The addition of a

cleaning agent may cause da-

mage to the fuel system.

. Make sure that the cap is tigh-

tened until it clicks to prevent

fuel spillage in the event of an

accident.

. Do not let fuel spill on the exterior

surfaces of the vehicle.

Fuels may cause paint damage,

which is not covered under the

SUBARU Limited Warranty.

. Always use a genuine SUBARU

fuel filler cap. If you use the

wrong cap, it may not fit or have

proper venting, and your fuel

tank and emission control sys-

tem might be damaged.

State emission testing (U.S.

only)

At state inspection time, remember to

tell your inspection or service station in

advance not to place your Subaru AWD

vehicle on a two-wheel dynamometer.

Otherwise, serious transmission da-

mage will result.

Some states have started using dynam-

ometers in their state inspection programs

in order to meet their obligation under

federal law to implement stricter vehicle

emission standards to reduce air pollution

from vehicles. A dynamometer is a tread-

mill or roller-like testing device that allows

your vehicle’s wheels to turn while the

vehicle remains in one place. Depending

on the severity of a state’s air pollution

problems, the states must adopt either a

“basic” or “enhanced” vehicle emission

inspection test. Normally, a portion of the

basic emission test consists of an emis-

sion inspector inserting an analyzer probe

into the exhaust pipe of an idling vehicle

for a short period of time. States with more

severe air pollution problems are required

to adopt an enhanced vehicle emission

test. This test simulates actual driving

conditions on a dynamometer and permits

more accurate measurement of tailpipe

emitted pollution than the basic emission

test.

The U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) and states using two-wheel

dynamometers in their emission testing

programs have EXEMPTED Subaru AWD

vehicles from the portion of the testing

program that involves a two-wheel dy-

namometer.

There are some states that use four-wheel

dynamometers in their testing programs.

When properly used, that equipment will

not damage an AWD Subaru vehicle.

Under no circumstances should the rear

wheels be jacked off the ground, nor

should the driveshaft be disconnected for

state emission testing.

WARNING

Testing of an All-Wheel Drive vehicle

must NEVER be performed on a

single two-wheel dynamometer. At-

tempting to do so will result in

uncontrolled vehicle movement and

may cause an accident or injuries to

persons nearby.
