haust system, brake system, or

other systems when installing a

hitch or other trailer towing

equipment.

. Do not use axle-mounted hitches

as they can cause damage to the

axle housing, wheel bearings,

wheels or tires.

! WAGON including OUTBACK

SPORT

The use of a genuine SUBARU trailer

hitch is recommended. A genuine

SUBARU hitch is available from your

SUBARU dealer.

If use of a non-genuine hitch is unavoid-

able, be sure the hitch is suited to your

vehicle and trailer. Consult with a profes-

sional hitch supplier to assist you in

choosing an appropriate hitch for your

vehicle. Be sure to follow all of the hitch

manufacturer’s instructions for installation

and use.

Never use a hitch that mounts only to the

rear bumper. The bumper is not designed

to handle that type of load.

For all types of hitches, regularly check

that the hitch mounting bolts and nuts are

tight.

! SEDAN

SUBARU does not offer accessory trailer

hitches. Consult with a professional hitch

supplier to assist you in choosing an

appropriate hitch for your vehicle. Be sure

to follow all of the hitch manufacturer’s

instructions for installation and use.

Never use a hitch that mounts only to the

rear bumper. The bumper is not designed

to handle that type of load.

Regularly check that the hitch mounting

bolts and nuts are tight.

& Connecting a trailer

! Trailer brakes

If your trailer’s total weight (trailer weight

plus its cargo weight) exceeds 1,000 lbs

(453 kg), the trailer is required to be

equipped wi th its own brake system.

Electric brakes or surge brakes a re

recommended, and must be installed

properly. Check that your trailer’s brakes

conform with Federal, state/province and/

or other applicable regulations. Your

SUBARU’s brake system is not designed

to be tapped into the trailer’s hydraulic

brake system.

Please ask your SUBARU dealer and

professional trailer supplier for more in-

formation about the trailer’s brake system.

WARNING

. Adequate size trailer brakes are

required when the trailer and its

cargo exceed 1,000 lbs (453 kg)

total weight.

. Do not directly connect your

trailer’s hydraulic brake system

to the hydraulic brake system in

your vehicle. Direct connection

would cause the vehicle’s brake

performance to deteriorate and

could lead to an accident.

! Trailer safety chains

In case the trailer hitch connector or hitch

ball should break or become discon-

nected, the trailer could get loose and

create a traffic safety hazard.

For safety, always connect the towing

vehicle and trailer with trailer safety

chains. Pass the chains crossing each

other under the trailer tongue to prevent

the trailer from dropping onto the ground

in case the trailer tongue should discon-

nect from the hitch ball. Allow sufficient

slack in the chains taking tight-turn situa-

tions into account; however, be careful not

to let them drag on the ground.

For more information about the safety

chain connection, refer to the instructions
