NOTE
While you are holding down either side
of the TUNE/TRACK button, the tuning
frequency will not stop changing even
if the frequency of a receivable station
is reached. ! Seek tuning (SEEK)
If you press the “
”or “”side of the
“ SEEK FLDR ”button (7), the radio will
automatically search for a receivable
station and stop at the first one it finds.
This function may not be available, how-
ever, when radio signals are weak. In such
a situation, perform manual tuning to
select the desired station. ! Scan tuning (SCAN)
Press the “SCAN ”button (8) to change the
radio to the SCAN mode. In this mode, the
radio scans through the radio band until a
station is found. The radio will stop at the
station for 5 seconds while displaying the
frequency, after which scanning will con-
tinue until the entire band has been
scanned from the low end to the high
end. Press the “SCAN ”button again to
cancel the SCAN mode and to stop on any
displayed frequency.
Press the “
”or “”side of the “SEEK
FLDR ”button (7) again to cancel the scan
mode and to stop on any displayed frequency.
When the
“SCAN ”button is pressed for
automatic tuning, stations are scanned in
the direction of low frequencies to high
frequencies only.
Automatic tuning may not function prop-
erly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills. ! 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. ! How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM AM ”button (2) to select
FM1, FM2 or AM reception.
2. Press the “SCAN ”button (8) or tune
the radio manually until the desired station
frequency is displayed.
3. Press and hold one of the preset
buttons to store the frequency. If the
button is pressed briefly, the preceding
selection will remain in memory. NOTE . If the connection between the radio
and battery is broken for any reason
such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the preset buttons are cleared. If this
occurs, it is necessary to reset the
preset buttons..
If a cell phone is placed near the
radio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio malfunction. ! Satellite radio mode (if equipped)
To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to
install the SUBARU genuine satellite
receiver (optional part) and to enter into
a contract with a satellite radio network
service such as “Sirius XM
TMsatellite
radio ”(for U.S.A. only) or “Sirius satellite
radio ”(for Canada only). For details,
please contact your SUBARU dealer. ! Sirius satellite radio (for Canada only)
Refer to “Sirius satellite radio (for Canada
only) ”F 5-7.

8-6Driving tips
On-road and off-road driving
WARNING
. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more
likely to die than a person wear-
ing a seatbelt. You the driver and
all your passengers should fas-
ten the seatbelts before starting
to drive in order to minimize the
chance of serious injury or death.
. Do not make sharp turns and
quick maneuvers unless abso-
lutely unavoidable. Such actions
are dangerous as you may lose
control, possibly resulting in a
rollover which could cause death
or serious injury.
. 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.
. Whenever strong crosswinds are
present, slow down sufficiently
to maintain control of your vehi-
cle. Remember that your vehicle,
with its higher profile and center of gravity, is more likely to be
affected by crosswinds than or-
dinary passenger cars.
. 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.
Your vehicle is classified as a utility
vehicle. Utility vehicles feature a higher
ground clearance which enables them to
be used for wide applications including off-
road driving. But please keep in mind that
your vehicle is neither a conventional off-
road vehicle nor an all-terrain vehicle. A
higher center of gravity in relation to the
tread width as compared with ordinary
passenger cars makes vehicles of this
type more likely to roll over. In reality, utility
vehicles have a significantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles. The
high ground clearance of this vehicle is a
real advantage, giving you a better view of
the road and allowing you to anticipate
problems earlier. However, remember that
your utility vehicle is not designed for high-
speed cornering comparable to ordinary
passenger cars and that your vehicle
could roll over if you make a sharp turn
at high speed. If you do take your
SUBARU off-road, certain common sense precautions such as those in the following
list should be taken. .
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-
cially at higher speeds.. Do not grip the inside or spokes of the
steering wheel. A bad bump could jerk the
wheel and injure your hands. Instead drive
with your fingers and thumbs on the
outside of the rim. . If driving through water, such as when
crossing shallow streams, first check the
