Maintenance and service

the materials in the vehicle may be hazardous if

improperly used or handled, for example, bat-

tery acid.

Your vehicle should only be serviced by per-

sons fully competent to do so. Serious person-

al injury may result to persons not experienced

in servicing vehicles.

Always use the proper tools and make certain

that they are well maintained.

Never get under the vehicle supported only

by a jack. Always use a safety stands to sup-

port the vehicle.

Never keep the engine running in a poorly

ventilated area, such as a garage or other

closed areas.

Do not smoke or allow open flames around

the fuel or battery. This will cause a fire.

Because the fuel system is under pressure,

replacement of the fuel filter should be per-

formed only by your SUBARU dealer.

Wear adequate eye protection to guard

against getting oil or fluids in your eyes. If

something does get in your eyes, thoroughly

wash them out with clean water.

Do not tamper with the wiring of the SRS air-

bag system or seatbelt pretensioner system, or

attempt to take its connectors apart, as that

may activate the system or it can render it inop-

erative. The wiring and connectors of these

systems are yellow for easy identification. NEV-

ER use a circuit tester for these wiring.

If your SRS airbag or seatbelt pretensioner

needs service, consult your nearest SUBARU

dealer.

Before checking or servicing in the en-

gine compartment

Always stop the engine and set the parking

brake firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov-

ing.

Always let the engine cool down. Engine

parts become very hot when the engine is run-

ning and remain hot for some time after the en-

gine is stopped.

Do not spill engine oil, engine coolant, brake

fluid or any other fluid on hot engine compo-

nents. This may cause a fire.

Always remove the key from the ignition

switch. When the ignition switch is in the “ON”

position, the cooling fan may operate suddenly
