power to all four wheels. AWD models

provide better traction when driving on

slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and

when moving out of mud, dirt or sand. By

shifting power between the front and rear

wheels, SUBARU AWD can also provide

added traction during acceleration, and

added engine braking force during decel-

eration.

Therefore, your SUBARU AWD vehicle

may handle differently than an ordinary

two wheel drive vehicle and it contains

some features unique to AWD. For safety

purposes as well as to avoid damaging

the AWD system, you should keep the

following tips in mind.

. An AWD model is better able to climb

steeper roads under snowy or slippery

conditions than a two wheel drive vehicle.

There is little difference in handling,

however, during extremely sharp turns or

sudden braking. Therefore, when driving

down a slope or turning corners, be sure

to reduce your speed and maintain an

ample distance from other vehicles.

. When replacing a tire, make sure you

use only the same size, circumference,

construction, brand, and load range as the

original tires listed on the tire placard.

Using other sizes, circumferences or

construction may result in severe mechan-

ical damage to the drive train of your

vehicle and ma y affec t ri de, handling,

braking, speedometer/odometer calibra-

tion, and clearance between the body

and tires. It also may be dangerous and

lead to loss of vehicle control.

. If you use a temporary spare tire to

replace a flat tire, be sure to use the

original temporary spare tire stored in the

vehicle. Using other sizes may result in

severe mechanical damage to the drive

train of your vehicle.

. Always check the cold tire pressure

before starting to drive. The recom-

mended tire pressure is provided on the

tire placard, which is located under the

door latch on the driver’s side.

. There are some precautions that you

must observe when towing your vehicle.

For detailed information, refer to “Towing”

F9-14.

On-road and off-road driving

WARNING

. In a rollover crash, an unbelted

person is significantly more

likely to die than a person wear-

ing a seatbelt. You the driver and

all your passengers should fas-

ten the seatbelts before starting

to drive in order to minimize the

chance of serious injury or death.

. Do not make sharp turns and

quick maneuvers unless abso-

lutely unavoidable. Such actions

are dangerous as you may lose

control, possibly resulting in a

rollover which could cause death

or serious injury.

. 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.

. Whenever strong crosswinds are

present, slow down sufficiently

to maintain control of your vehi-

cle. Remember that your vehicle,
