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. Raise the center lid and remove the bucket 
from the center of the spare tire. Take the jack out of the bucket. The jack handle is 
stowed on the back of the center lid of the cargo area.
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.
