For maximum safety, first carefully read the LATCH system instructions from the device
manufacturer, as well as the installation instructions in your Owner’s Manual, to properly
install the LATCH compatible restraint system. Use the appropriate seatbelts or anchorages
provided in your vehicle. Children age 12 and under must properly occupy the rear seat at
all times.
Location of Spare Tire and Jack

A jack and other maintenance tools are stored
in the tool bucket in the center of the spare
tire, located in the trunk or cargo area.
Internal Child Safety
Trunk Release with
Self-Illuminating Handle (4-Door only)

In the event that children or adults become
locked inside the trunk, this luminescent
handle allows them to open the lid from inside
the trunk. To open, simply pull the yellow
handle downward as indicated by the arrow
on the handle, and then push up on the lid.
Towing Your All-Wheel Drive Vehicle

Since all-wheel drive distributes engine power to all four wheels, improper
towing will severely damage your AWD system. A flatbed truck is the only
recommended way to properly transport your AWD vehicle. If towing is
necessary, it is best done by your Subaru dealer or a commercial towing service.

Coverage is automatic; there are no forms to complete. Subaru Roadside
Assistance is available anytime during the 3-year/36,000-mile Subaru Lim\
ited
Warranty, whichever comes first.* A Subaru Roadside Assistance decal has
been affixed to the driver’s door window.
Subaru Roadside Assistance: 1-800-261-2155

requests or claims resulting from: accidents, vandalism, acts of God, violation of
any laws, or vehicle modifications not recommended by the manufacturer.

Immobilizer
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.
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle’ s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. Even if
an unregistered key fits into the ignition
switch and can be turned to the “START ”
position, the engine will automatically stop
after several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a trans-
ponder in which the key ’s ID code is
stored. When a key is inserted into the
ignition switch and turned to the “ON”
position, the transponder transmits the
key ’s ID code to the immobilizer system ’s
receiver. If the transmitted ID code
matches the ID code registered in the
immobilizer system, the system allows the
engine to be started. Since the ID code is
transmitted and acted upon almost in-
