Stereo indicator
The stereo indicator “ST” will come on
when an FM stereo broadcast is received. T Manual tuning (TUNE)
Turn the tuning dial (5) clockwise to in-
crease the tuning frequency and turn the
dial counterclockwise to decrease it. Each
click the dial is turned, the frequency
changes 10 kHz in the AM waveband and
0.2 MHz in the FM waveband. T Seek tuning
When the “ ” side of the “SEEK/
TRACK/CAT” button (3) is depressed, the
radio will begin to automatically seek up
for receivable frequencies and will stop at
the first one found. For the “ ” side, the
radio will begin to automatically seek

however, when radio signals are weak. In
such a situation, perform manual tuning to
select the desired station. T Automatic tuning (SCAN)
Press the “SCAN” button (4) to change the
radio to the SCAN mode. In this mode, the
radio scans through the radio band until a
station is found. The radio will stop at a re-
ceivable station for 5 seconds while dis-
playing the frequency by blinking, after
which scanning will continue until the en-
tire band has been scanned from the low end to the high end. Press the “SCAN”
button again to cancel the SCAN mode
and to stop on any displayed frequency.
When the “SCAN” button is pressed for
automatic tuning, stations are scanned in
the direction of low frequencies to high fre-
quencies only. Automatic tuning may not
function properly if the station reception is
weakened by distance from the station or
proximity to tall buildings and hills. T
Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a preset button
(6) allows you to select that station in a
single operation. Up to six AM, FM1 and
FM2 stations each may be preset. T How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM/AM” button (2) to select
AM, FM1 or FM2 reception.
2. Press the "SCAN" button (4) or tune
the radio manually until the desired station
frequency is displayed.
3. Press one of the preset buttons (6) for
at least 2 seconds to store the frequency.
The frequency of the station will flash

7-4 Starting and operating
1. To open the fuel filler lid, pull the lid re-
lease lever. The lever is on the floor at the
left of the driver’s seat.1) Open
2) Close 2. Remove the fuel filler cap by turning it
slowly counterclockwise.
3. Stop filling the tank after the fuel filler
pump automatically stops. Do not add any
more fuel.
4. Put the cap back on, turn it clockwise
until you hear a clicking noise. Be certain
not to catch the tether under the cap while
tightening.
5. Close the fuel filler lid completely.
If you spill any fuel on the painted surface,
rinse it off immediately. Otherwise, the
painted surface could be damaged.
NOTE y
You will see the “ ”
sign in the fuel gauge. This indicates
that the fuel filler door (lid) is located
on the right side of the vehicle. y If the fuel filler cap is not tightened
until it clicks or if the tether is caught
under the cap, the CHECK ENGINE
warning light may come on. Refer to
the “Warning and indicator lights” sec-
tion located in chapter 3.
(Turbo model only) Promptly put fuel in
the tank whenever the low fuel warning
light comes on. Engine misfires as a re-
sult of an empty tank could cause dam-
age to the engine.

Gasoline vapor is highly flamma-
ble. Before refueling, always first
stop the engine and make sure
that there are no lighted ciga-
rettes, open flames or electrical
sparks in the adjacent area.
yWhen opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. Fuel may be
under pressure and spray out of
the fuel filler neck especially in
hot weather, which may cause in-
jury.

9-4 In case of emergency
1. Park on a hard, level surface, whenev-
er possible, then stop the engine.
2. Set the parking brake securely and
shift a manual transmission vehicle in re-
verse or an automatic transmission vehi-
cle in the “P” (Park) position.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher and
have everyone get out of the vehicle.
4. Put wheel blocks at the front and rear
of the tire diagonally opposite the flat tire.1) Jack
2) Jack handle
3) Spare tire
5. Take out the spare tire, jack, and wheel
nut wrench.
The spare tire is stored under the floor of
the cargo area.
To remove the spare tire:
1. Open the lid and remove it. 2. Remove the storage compartment
bucket (Canada spec. non-turbo models).
3. Remove the storage compartment tray
(Except Canada spec. non-turbo models).
4. Turn the attaching bolt counterclock-
wise, then take spare tire out.
y
Always turn off the engine before
raising the flat tire off the ground
using the jack. Never swing or
push the vehicle supported with
the jack. The jack can come out of
the jacking point due to a jolt and
this can result in a severe acci-
dent.

9-6 In case of emergency
8. Insert the jack handle into the jack-
screw, and turn the handle until the tire
clears the ground. Do not raise the vehicle
higher than necessary.
9. Remove the wheel nuts and the flat
tire.10.Before putting the spare tire on, clean
the mounting surface of the wheel and
hub with a cloth.
11.Put on the spare tire. Replace the
wheel nuts. Tighten them by hand.
12.Turn the jack handle counterclockwise
to lower the vehicle.13.Use the wheel nut wrench to securely
tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque, following the tightening order in
the illustration.
The torque for tightening the nuts is 58 to
72 lbf·ft (80 to 100 N·m, 8 to 10 kgf·m).
This torque is equivalent to applying about
88 to 110 lbs (40 to 50 kg) at the top of the
wheel nut wrench. Never use your foot on
the wheel nut wrench or a pipe extension
on the wrench because you may exceed
the specified torque. Have the wheel nut
torque checked at the nearest automotive
service facility.

Do not use oil or grease on the
wheel studs or nuts when the spare
tire is installed. This could cause the
nuts to become loose and lead to an
accident.

9-10 In case of emergency
Engine overheating
If the engine overheats, safely pull off the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe place. „If steam is coming from the
engine compartment
Turn off the engine and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down. „ If no steam is coming from
the engine compartment
1. Keep the engine running at idling
speed.
2. Open the hood to ventilate the engine
compartment.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off the engine and contact your authorized
dealer for repair.
3. After the engine coolant temperature
has dropped, turn off the engine.
If the temperature gauge stays at the
overheated zone, turn off the engine.
4. After the engine has fully cooled down,
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank.
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, add coolant up to the “FULL” mark.
5. If there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, add coolant to the reserve tank.
Then remove the radiator cap and fill the
radiator with coolant.
If you remove the radiator cap from a hot
radiator, first wrap a thick cloth around the
radiator cap, then turn the cap counter-
clockwise slowly without pressing down
until it stops. Release the pressure from
the radiator. After the pressure has been
fully released, remove the cap by pressing
down and turning it.
Towing
If towing is necessary, it is best done by
your SUBARU dealer or a commercial
towing service. Observe the following pro-
cedures for safety.
Never attempt to remove the radia-
tor cap until the engine has been
shut off and has fully cooled down.
When the engine is hot, the coolant
is under pressure. Removing the
cap while the engine is still hot
could release a spray of boiling hot
coolant, which could burn you very
seriously.Never tow AWD vehicles (both AT
and MT) with the front wheels raised
off the ground while the rear wheels
are on the ground, or with the rear
wheels raised off the ground while
the front wheels are on the ground.
This will cause the vehicle to spin
away due to the operation or deteri-
oration of the center differential.
