Before beginning work on or near any bat-
tery, be sure to extingui sh all cigarettes, match-
es, and lighters. Never expose a battery to an
open flame or electric sp arks. Batteries give off
a gas which is highly flammable and explosive. y For safety, in case an explosion does occur,
wear eye protection or shield your eyes when
working near any battery. Never lean over a bat-tery. y Do not let battery fluid contact eyes, skin,
fabrics, or paint becaus e battery fluid is a cor-
rosive acid. If battery fluid gets on your skin or
in your eyes, immediat ely flush the area with
water thoroughly. Seek medical help immedi-
ately if acid has entered the eyes.
If battery fluid is accid entally swallowed, imme-
diately drink a large amount of milk or water,
and seek medical attention immediately. y To lessen the risk of sparks, remove rings,
metal watchbands, and other metal jewelry.
Never allow metal tools to contact the positive
battery terminal and anything connected to it
WHILE you are at the same time in contact with any other metallic portion of the vehicle be-
cause a short circuit will result.y
Keep everyone including children away from
the battery.y Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
y Battery posts terminals and related accesso-
ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Batteries also
contain other chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer. Wash hands after
handling.
It is unnecessary to periodically check the battery fluid
level or periodically refill with distilled water.
Never use more than 10 amperes when charg-
ing the battery because it will shorten battery
life.

Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while
in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare
hands or greasy gloves, finger prints or grease
on the bulb surface will develop into hot spots
and cause the bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them
away with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
NOTE
If headlight aiming is required, consult your
SUBARU dealer for proper adjustment of the head-
light aim.
