1. Power Steering Fluid Reservoir Check your power steering fluid level
monthly. The power steering fluid expands
greatly as its temperature rises and
the fluid level differs according to fluid
temperature. Therefore, the reservoir tank
has two different checking ranges for
hot and cold fluid. Please refer to your
Owner’s Manual for details.
2. Air Cleaner Element This element filters intake air. Follow the

B O E . B J O U F O B O D F w C P P L M F U 8 I F O
necessary, replace this element with a
genuine Subaru air cleaner.
3. Radiator Cap If your engine overheats, safely pull off the
road and stop your vehicle in a safe place.

until the engine has been shut off and has
fully cooled down. If steam is coming from
the engine compartment, turn the engine
off and move everyone away from the
vehicle until it cools. Please refer to your
Owner’s Manual for details. 4. Intercooler
The intercooler is positioned behind
the throttle body to cool intake air and
improve supercharging efficiency. (Intake
air passing through the turbocharger gets
very warm, which could result in lower
supercharging efficiency.) To prevent
damage to this important system, avoid
placing tools and other objects on
the intercooler.
5. Engine Oil Level Gauge Check the engine oil level at each fuel
stop. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
and insert it again. Pull it out and check
the oil level. If it’s below the lower level,
add oil to bring the level up to the
upper level. (Use only engine oil of the
recommended grade and viscosity.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual
for oil recommendations and other
important details.) 6. Engine Coolant Reservoir
Check your coolant level at each
fuel stop. Observe the coolant
level on the outside of the reservoir
while the engine is cool. If the level

refer to your Owner’s Manual for
details.

the maintenance schedule in

changed more frequently when you
drive on dusty roads, frequently
make short trips, or when you drive
in extremely cold weather.
8. Brake Fluid Reservoir Check your brake fluid level
monthly. Observe the fluid level on
the outside of the reservoir. If the

mark. Use only brake fluid from
a sealed container.
9. Battery When your vehicle does not start
due to a battery that has run down,
the vehicle may be jump-started by
connecting your battery to another
battery with jumper cables. Jump-starting is dangerous if
done incorrectly. Please refer
to your Owner’s Manual for
instructions. If you’re unsure
about how to jump-start your
vehicle, please consult a
competent mechanic.
10. Windshield Washer Tank It’s a good idea to check your washer fluid every time you stop
for fuel. If the level is low, fill the
windshield washer tank to the
neck of the reservoir with
windshield washer fluid. In cold
weather, use a freeze resistant
windshield washer fluid.
11. Main Fuse Box Your Impreza WRX has two fuse boxes. One is located under the
instrument panel, behind the
fuse box cover on the driver’s
seat side. The other is housed
in your engine compartment, as
shown here. Fuses are designed
to melt during an overload
situation in order to prevent
damage to the wiring harness and
electrical equipment. If any lights,
accessories or electrical controls
fail to operate properly, inspect
the corresponding fuse. If it has
blown, replace it in accordance
with the instructions in your
Owner’s Manual. The fuse puller
and spare fuses are located
in the main fuse box in the
engine compartment.

mitter three times. The system will pause
for 1 second and flash the turn signal
lights once indicating that the system has
exited service mode.
NOTEWhen taking your vehicle in for service,
it is recommended that you inform the
service personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with a remote engine start
system.& Remote engine start trans-
mitter programming and pro-
grammable feature optionNew transmitters can be programmed to
the remote engine start system in the
event that remote engine start transmitters
are lost, stolen or damaged. The remote
engine start system also has one pro-
grammable feature that can be adjusted
for user preference.
The remote engine start system can be
programmed to either make an audible
horn chirp upon remote start activation or not. Remote engine start transmitter pro-
gramming and feature programming can
be adjusted using the following procedure.
1. Open the driver
’s door (the driver ’s
door must remain opened throughout the
entire process).
2. Insert the key into the vehicle’ s ignition
switch and turn to the “ON”position.
3. Locate the small black programming
button behind the fuse box cover, on the
driver ’s side left under the dashboard
panel.
4. Press and hold the black programming
button for 10 to 15 seconds. The horn will
honk and the turn signal lights will flash
three times to indicate that the system has
entered programming mode. At this point
you can proceed to either step 5 or step 6.
5. To program a remote engine start
transmitter: press and release the “
”
button on each transmitter. The horn will
honk and the turn signal lights will flash
one time to indicate a successful trans-
mitter learn each time the “
”button is
pressed. You can program up to eight
transmitters.
6. To toggle the Horn Confirmation chirps
ON/OFF: depress and release the brake
pedal to toggle the feature. The horn will
chirp and the turn signal lights will flash
one time to indicate Confirmation Horn
Chirps are “OFF”. The horn will honk and the turn signal lights will flash 2 times to
indicate Confirmation Horn Chirps are
“ON
”. Depressing the brake pedal repeat-
edly will toggle the feature ON or OFF
each time.
7. To exit the remote engine start trans-
mitter and feature programming mode,
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position, remove the key from the ignition
switch and test operation of the remote
engine start transmitter(s) and horn con-
firmation feature.

CAUTION
.Do not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the remote engine start
transmitter when replacing the
battery.
. Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the re-
mote engine start transmitter
when replacing the battery.
. Be careful not to allow children to
touch the battery and any re-
moved parts; children could
swallow them.

and other metal jewelry. Never
allow metal tools to contact the
positive battery terminal and any-
thing connected to it WHILE you
are at the same time in contact
with any other metallic portion of
the vehicle because a short cir-
cuit will result.
. Keep everyone including children
away from the battery.
. Charge the battery in a well-
ventilated area.
. Battery posts, terminals and re-
lated accessories contain lead
and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive
harm. Batteries also contain

3) Lower levelIt is unnecessary to periodically check the
battery fluid level or periodically refill with
distilled water.
However, if the battery fluid level is below
the lower level, remove the cap. Fill to the
upper level with distilled water.
CAUTION
Never use more than 10 amperes
when charging the battery because
it will shorten battery life.
Fuses
CAUTION
Never replace a fuse with one hav-
ing a higher rating or with material
other than a fuse because serious
damage or a fire could result.
The fuses are designed to melt during an
overload to prevent damage to the wiring
harness and electrical equipment. The
fuses are located in two fuse boxes.One is located under the instrument panel
behind the fuse box cover on the driver ’s
seat side. To remove the cover, pull it out.
