. Be sure the jumper cables and
clamps on them do not have
loose or missing insulation.
Do not jump start unless cables
in suitable condition are avail-able.
. A running engine can be danger-
ous. Keep your fingers, hands,
clothing, hair and tools away
from the cooling fan, belts and
any other moving engine parts.
Removing rings, watches and
ties is advisable.
. Jump starting is dangerous if it
done incorrectly. If you are un-
sure about the proper procedure
for jump starting, consult a com-
petent mechanic.
When your vehicle does not start due to a
run down (discharged) battery, the vehicle
may be jump started by connecting your
battery to another battery (called the
booster battery) with jumper cables.
& How to jump start
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12
volts and the negative terminal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not let the two vehicles touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories.
4. Connect the jumper cables exactly in
the sequence illustrated.

11-44Maintenance and service
Main fuse
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt
during an overload to prevent damage to
the wiring harness and electrical equip-
ment. Check the main fuses if any
electrical component fails to operate (ex-
cept the starter motor) and other fuses are
good. A melted main fuse must be
replaced. Use only replacements with 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. Installation of accessories
Always consult your SUBARU dealer
before installing fog lights or any other
electrical equipment in your vehicle. Such
accessories may cause the electronic
system to malfunction if they are incor-
rectly installed or if they are not suited for
the vehicle.

& Headlights (WRX-STI)
WARNING
High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs
are used for the low beams of the
headlights on the WRX-STI. These
HID bulbs use an extremely high
voltage. To avoid the risk of an
electric shock and resulting serious
injury, you should not attempt to
replace them. Neither should you
attempt to replace the high-beam
bulbs, remove/refit the headlight
assemblies, or remove any head-
light-assembly components. For re-
placement of the headlight bulbs
(low-beam and high-beam), removal
and installation of the headlight
assemblies, and removal of head-
light-assembly components, contact
your SUBARU dealer.

&Headlights (Except WRX-STI)
Before replacing the left-hand (battery-
side) high-beam light bulb, remove the
screw that retains the windshield washer
nozzle and tip the windshield washer
nozzle sideways.
Non-turbo models
Turbo models
Before replacing the right-hand low- or
high-beam light bulb, remove the bolts
and remove the air intake duct.
CAUTION
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, con-
sult your SUBARU dealer for proper
adjustment of the headlight aim.. It may be difficult to replace the
bulbs. Have your SUBARU dealer re-
place the bulbs if necessary. Maintenance and service
