8-6 Driving tips

Off road driving

WARNING

. Always maintain a safe driving

speed according to the road and

weather conditions in order to

avoid having an accident on a

sharp turn, during sudden brak-

ing or under other similar condi-

tions.

. Always use the utmost care in

driving – ove rconfidence be-

cause you are driving an All-

Wheel Drive vehicle could easily

lead to a serious accident.

CAUTION

Do not drive on rough roads or over

curbs in a vehicle that has 17-inch

or other ultra-low-profile tires. The

wheels and tires could be damaged

by shock forces, leading to abnor-

mal vibration or poor straight-line

tracking. Driving would then be

more difficult.

& All AWD models except

OUTBACK SPORT

Your AWD vehicle is neither a conven-

tional off-road vehicle nor an all terrain

vehicle. It is a passenger vehicle designed

primarily for on-road use. The AWD

feature gives it some limited off-road

capabilities in situations in which driving

surfaces are relatively level, obstruction-

free and otherwise similar to on-road

driving conditions. Operating it under other

than those conditions could subject the

vehicle to excessive stress which might

result in damage not eligible for repair

under wa rranty. If you do tak e your

SUBARU off-road, you should review the

common sense precautions in the next

section (applica ble to the OUTBACK

SPORT) for general guidance. But please

keep in mind that your vehicle’s off-road

capabilities are more limited than those of

the OUTBACK SPORT.

Never attempt to drive through pools and

puddles, or roads flooded with water.

Water entering the engine air intake or

the exhaust pipe or water splashing onto

electrical parts may damage your vehicle

and may cause it to stall.

& OUTBACK SPORT

Your Subaru can be driven on ordinary

roads or off-road. But please keep in mind

that an AWD SUBARU is a passenger

vehicle and is neither a conventional off-

road vehicle nor an all-terrain vehicle. If

you do ta ke your SUBARU off-road,

certain common sense precautions such

as the following should be taken:

. Make certain that you and all of your

passengers are wearing seatbelts.

. Carry some emergency equipment,

such as a towing rope or chain, a shovel,

wheel blocks, first aid kit and cell phone or

citizens band radio.

. Drive carefully. Do not take unneces-

sary risks by driving in dangerous areas or

over rough terrain.

. Slow down and employ extra caution at

all times. When driving off-road, you will

not have the benefit of marked traffic

lanes, banked curves, traffic signs and

the like.

. Do not drive across steep slopes.

Instead, drive either straight up or straight

down the slopes. A vehicle can much

more easily tip over sideways than it can

end over end. Avoid driving straight up or

down slopes that are too steep.

. Avoid sharp turning maneuvers, espe-

cially at higher speeds.

. Do not grip the inside or spokes of the

steering wheel. A bad bump could jerk the

wheel and injure your hands. Instead drive
