&Engine exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
. Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is dan-
gerous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
. Always properly maintain the en-
gine exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from enter-
ing the vehicle.
. Never run the engine in a closed
space, such as a garage, except
for the brief time needed to drive
the vehicle in or out of it.
. Avoid remaining in a parked
vehicle for a lengthy time while
the engine is running. If that is
unavoidable, then use the venti-
lation fan to force fresh air into
the vehicle.
. Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system al-
ways works properly.
. If at any time you suspect that
exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, have the problem
checked and corrected as soon
as possible. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive
only with all windows fully open.
. Keep the trunk lid or rear gate
closed while driving to prevent
exhaust gas from entering thevehicle.
& Drinking and driving
WARNING
Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Alcohol in the blood-
stream delays your reaction and
impairs your perception, judgment
and attentiveness. If you drive afterdrinking –even if you drink just a
little –it will increase the risk of
being involved in a serious or fatal
accident, injuring or killing yourself,
your passengers and others. In
addition, if you are injured in the
accident, alcohol may increase the
severity of that injury.
Please don ’t drink and drive. Drunken driving is one of the most
frequent causes of accidents. Since alco-
hol affects all people differently, you may
have consumed too much alcohol to drive
safely even if the level of alcohol in your
blood is below the legal limit. The safest
thing you can do is never drink and drive.
However if you have no choice but to
drive, stop drinking and sober up comple-
tely before getting behind the wheel.
& Drugs and drivingWARNING
There are some drugs (over the
counter and prescription) that can
delay your reaction time and impair
your perception, judgment and at-
tentiveness. If you drive after taking
them, it may increase your, yourpassengers ’and other persons ’risk
of being involved in a serious or
fatal accident.
If you are taking any drugs, check with
your doctor or pharmacist or read the
literature that accompanies the medication
to determine if the drug you are taking can
impair your driving ability. Do not drive
after taking any medications that can
make you drowsy or otherwise affect your
ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. If

radio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio fault. !Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a preset button
allows you to select that station in a single
operation. Up to six AM, FM1 and FM2
stations each may be preset. Satellite radio operation (if equipped)
To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to
install the Subaru genuine satellite recei-
ver (dealer option) and to enter into a
contract. For details, please contact your
SUBARU dealer. &
XM
TMsatellite radio
XMTMis a continental U.S. based satellite
radio service that offers more than 160
coast to coast channels, including music,
news, sports, talk and children ’s program-
ming. XM
TMprovides digital quality audio
and text information, including song title
and artist name. A service fee is required
to receive the XM
TMservice. For more
information, contact XMTMatwww.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM-
RADIO (1-800-967-2346). & Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum-
stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside of a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed ground-
based repeaters in heavily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas. &
Band selection
Push the “SAT ”button when the radio is
off to turn on the radio.
Push the “SAT ”button when the radio is
on to select XM1, XM2 or XM3 reception.

WARNING
. When programming the
HomeLink ®Wireless Control
System, you may be operating a garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way
of the garage door opener or
other device to prevent potential
harm or damage.
. Do not use the HomeLink ®Wire-
less Control System with any
garage door opener that lacks
the safety stop and reverse fea-
ture as required by applicable
safety standards. A garage door
opener which cannot detect an
object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse, does not meet these
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more infor-
mation, consult the HomeLink
website at www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
CAUTION
When programming the HomeLink ®
Wireless Control System to operate
a garage door opener or an entrance
gate, unplug the device ’s motor
from the outlet during programming
to prevent motor burnout. NOTE .
After programming your HomeLink ®
Wireless Control System for the de-
sired devices, retain the hand-held
transmitters for further programming
or device testing in the event of aproblem.. It is recommended that you insert a
new battery in the hand-held transmit-
ter of a device to ensure correctprogramming. & Garage door opener pro-
gramming in the U.S.A.
NOTE
When programming the HomeLink ®
Wireless Control System for a garage
door opener, it is suggested that you
park the vehicle outside the garage.
1. Unplug the motor of the garage door
opener from the outlet.

2. Press and hold the two outside
HomeLink® buttons until the indicator light
begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Re-
lease both buttons. NOTE
If any of the HomeLink®buttons are
already programmed for other devices,
skip step 2 because it clears the
memory of all the three buttons.
3. Hold the end of the garage door opener ’s hand-held transmitter between
1 and 3 inches (25 and 76 mm) away from
the HomeLink® buttons on the driver ’s
sun visor, keeping the indicator light in

light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be
released. (The rapidly flashing light indi-
cates successful programming of the new

6. Press and hold the programmed but-
ton and check the HomeLink® indicator
light. If the indicator light stays on con-
tinuously, your garage door should acti-
vate and the programming is completed.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for two
seconds and then stays on continuously, your garage door opener may be pro-
tected by a rolling code feature. In this
case you need to perform the additional
steps for
“Programming rolling-code-pro-
tected garage door openers in the U.S.A. ”
described in the following. NOTE
Rolling-code-protected garage door
