CAUTION
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party re-
sponsible for compliance could void
the user ’s authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this de-
vice may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesiredoperation.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
may cause harmful interference to
radio communications, if it is not
installed and used in accordance with
the instructions. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful inter-
ference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the followingmeasures. . Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna. . Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver..
Connect the equipment into an out-
let on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.. Consult the dealer or an experi-
enced radio/TV technician for help.. Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void theuser ’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.. This equipment complies with FCC/
IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled equipment and
meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C
to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This
equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that it deemed to comply with-
out maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable
that it should be installed and operated
keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or
more away from person ’s body (ex-
cluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet
and ankles).. This transmitter must not be co-
located or operated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.

&Safety precautions
WARNING
. For safety reasons, avoid operat-
ing the cell phone while driving.
. Do not make a phone call while
driving. When you have an in-
coming call, stop the vehicle in a
safe location before taking the
incoming phone call. When you
have to absolutely take a phone
call, tell the caller “I’ ll call you
back ”. And then call the caller
back after stopping the vehicle in
a safe location.
CAUTION
. Do not leave the cell phone in the
vehicle. The temperature in the
vehicle may become extremely
high and cause a malfunction of
the cell phone.
. When using the cell phone, be
careful not to get it close to the
in-vehicle equipment. Getting it
too close to the in-vehicle equip-
ment may result in deterioration
in tone quality or a poor connect-
ing condition. .
In the frequency band used by
this equipment, along with indus-
trial, scientific and medical
equipment such as a microwave
oven, radio stations (a license is
required) to be used by the
production line in the factory to
identify movable bodies, specific
small power radio stations (a
license is not required) and ama-
teur radio stations (a license is
required) are being operated.
(These three types of radio sta-
tions are hereinafter referred toas “other radio stations. ”) Before
using this equipment, be sure to
check to see if “other radio
stations ”are being operated in
the vicinity. If there is detrimental
radio interference from this
equipment to “other radio sta-
tions, ”move the equipment to
another location as soon as
possible to avoid radio interfer-
ence. The frequency band used
by this equipment is in the 2.4
GHz zone. The FH-SS modulation
is employed as a modulation
method. The expected inflicting
interference distance is less than
33 ft (10 m). This equipment uses
a full band and can avoid a band used by a movable body identifi-
cation device.

NOTE
You can select the menus by operating the “TUNE/TRACK/CH ”dial or using
the voice command system. Refer to“ Menu list of the Hands-free system ”

8-6Driving tips
Off road driving
WARNING
. Always maintain a safe driving
speed according to the road and
weather conditions in order to
avoid having an accident on a
sharp turn, during sudden brak-
ing or under other similar condi-tions.
. Always use the utmost care in
driving –overconfidence be-
cause you are driving an All-
Wheel Drive model could easily
lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
Do not drive on rough roads or over
curbs in a vehicle that has 17-inch
or other ultra-low-profile tires. The
wheels and tires could be damaged
by shock forces, leading to abnor-
mal vibration or poor straight-line
tracking. Driving would then be
more difficult. &
All AWD models except OUTBACK
Your AWD model is neither a conventional
off-road vehicle nor an all terrain vehicle. It
is a passenger vehicle designed primarily
for on-road use. The AWD feature gives it
some limited off-road capabilities in situa-
tions in which driving surfaces are rela-
tively level, obstruction-free and otherwise
similar to on-road driving conditions. Op-
erating it under other than those condi-
tions could subject the vehicle to exces-
sive stress which might result in damage
not eligible for repair under warranty. If you
do take your SUBARU off-road, you
should review the common sense precau-
tions in the next section (applicable to the
OUTBACK) for general guidance. But
please keep in mind that your vehicle ’s
off-road capabilities are more limited than
those of the OUTBACK.
Never attempt to drive through pools and
puddles, or roads flooded with water.
Water entering the engine air intake or
the exhaust pipe or water splashing onto
electrical parts may damage your vehicle
and may cause it to stall. &
OUTBACK
Your SUBARU can be driven on ordinary
roads or off-road. But please keep in mind
that an AWD SUBARU is a passenger
vehicle and is neither a conventional off-
road vehicle nor an all-terrain vehicle. If
you do take your SUBARU off-road,
certain common sense precautions such
as those in the following list should betaken. . Make certain that you and all of your
passengers are wearing seatbelts.. Carry some emergency equipment,
such as a towing rope or chain, a shovel,
wheel blocks, first aid kit and cell phone or
citizens band radio. . Drive carefully. Do not take unneces-
sary risks by driving in dangerous areas or
over rough terrain. . Slow down and employ extra caution at
all times. When driving off-road, you will
not have the benefit of marked traffic
lanes, banked curves, traffic signs and
the like. . Do not drive across steep slopes.
Instead, drive either straight up or straight
down the slopes. A vehicle can much
more easily tip over sideways than it can
end over end. Avoid driving straight up or
down slopes that are too steep. . Avoid sharp turning maneuvers, espe-

crease in temperature could cause
tread separation, and failure of the
tire(s). Possible resulting loss of
vehicle control could lead to anaccident. !Measuring and adjusting air
pressure to achieve proper in-
flation
Check and, if necessary, adjust the
pressure of each tire (including the
spare) at least once a month and
before any long journey. Check the
tire pressures when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to
adjust the tire pressures to the
specific values. Driving even a
short distance warms up the tires
and increases the tire pressures.
Also, the tire pressures are affected
by the outside temperature. It is
best to check tire pressure out-
doors before driving the vehicle.
When a tire becomes warm, the air
inside it expands, causing the tire
pressure to increase. Be careful not
to mistakenly release air from a
warm tire to reduce its pressure. &

The combined weight (in excess of
those standard items which may be
