sion, except Turbo models) Before driving your
vehicle with the temporary spare tire, put a sparefuse inside the FWD connector in the main fusebox located in the engine compartment and con-firm that the Front-wheel drive warning light
“FWD” in the combination meter comes on. The
all wheel drive capability of the vehicle has now
deactivated. After re-installing the conventionaltire, remove the spare fuse from the FWD con-nector in order to reactivate all wheel drive.

severe mechanical damage to the drive train of your vehicle.

1) Cap
2) Upper level 3) Lower level
It is unnecessary to periodically check the battery
fluid level or periodically refill with distilled water.
However, if the battery fluid level is below the lower
level, remove the cap. Fill to the upper level with dis-
tilled water. Fuses
CAUTION
Never replace a fuse with one having a higher
rating or with material other than a fuse be-
cause serious damage or a fire could result.
The fuses are designed to melt during an overload
to prevent damage to the wiring harness and electri-
cal equipment. The fuses are located in two fuseboxes.
HGB006BA
The one is located under the instrument panel be- hind the fuse box cover on the driver ’s seat side.

1) Fuse puller 2) Spare fuse
The fuse puller and spare fuses are stored in the main fuse box cover in the engine compartment.
If any lights, accessories or other electrical controls
do not operate, inspect the corresponding fuse. If a
fuse has blown, replace it.

A) Good B) Blown
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
and turn off all electrical accessories.
2. Remove the cover.

1) Fuse puller
4. Pull out the fuse with the fuse puller.
5. Inspect the fuse. If it has blown, replace it with a
spare fuse of the same rating.
6. If the same fuse blows again, this indicates that
its system has a problem. Contact your SUBARU
dealer for repairs. Main fuseHB8003CA
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt during an over-
load to prevent damage to the wiring harness and
electrical equipment. Check the main fuses if any
electrical component fails to operate (except the
starter motor) and other fuses are good. A melted
main fuse must be replaced. Use only replacementswith the same specified rating as the melted main
fuse. If a main fuse blows after it is replaced, have
the electrical system checked by your nearest
SUBARU dealer.
