mended engine oil for optimum engineperformance. Conventional oil may beused if synthetic oil is unavailable.
Cooling system
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radia-tor cap until the engine has beenshut off and has cooled downcompletely. Since the coolant isunder pressure, you may sufferserious burns from a spray of boil-ing hot coolant when the cap isremoved.
CAUTION
.Vehicles are filled at the factorywith SUBARU Super Coolant thatdoes not require the first changefor 11 years/137,500 miles (11years/220,000 km). This coolantshould not be mixed with anyother brand or type of coolantduring this period. Mixing with adifferent coolant will reduce thelife of the coolant. Should it benecessary to top off the coolantfor any reason, use onlySUBARU Super Coolant.
If the SUBARU Super Coolant isdiluted with another brand ortype, the maintenance interval is
shortened to that of the mixingcoolant.
.Do not splash the engine coolantover painted parts. The alcoholcontained in the engine coolantmay damage the paint surface.
&Hose and connections
Your vehicle employs an electric coolingfan which is thermostatically controlled tooperate when the engine coolant reachesa specific temperature.
If the radiator cooling fan does not operateeven when the engine coolant tempera-ture gauge exceeds the normal operatingrange, the cooling fan circuit may bedefective.Check the fuse and replace itif necessary. If the fuse is not blown, havethe cooling system checked by yourSUBARU dealer.
If frequent addition of coolant is neces-sary, there may be a leak in the enginecooling system. It is recommended thatthe cooling system and connections bechecked for leaks, damage, or looseness.

Fuses
CAUTION
Never replace a fuse with one hav-ing a higher rating or with materialother than a fuse because seriousdamage or a fire could result.
The fuses are designed to melt during anoverload to prevent damage to the wiringharness and electrical equipment. Thefuses are located in two fuse boxes. Oneis located under the instrument panelbehind the fuse box cover on the driver’sseat side.
Open the lid that is located above thehood release knob and pull it toward youto remove it.
The other one is housed in the enginecompartment.
The spare fuses are stored in the mainfuse box cover in the engine compart-ment.
The fuse puller is stored in the main fusebox in the engine compartment.

1) Good2) Blown
If any lights, accessories or other electricalcontrols do not operate, inspect thecorresponding fuse. If a fuse has blown,replace it.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the“LOCK”position and turn off all electrical acces-sories.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Determine which fuse may be blown.Look at the back side of each fuse boxcover and refer to“Fuses and circuits”F12-9.
4. Pull out the fuse with the fuse puller.
5. Inspect the fuse. If it has blown,replace it with a spare fuse of the samerating.
6. If the same fuse blows again, thisindicates that its system has a problem.Contact your SUBARU dealer for repairs.
Main fuse
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to meltduring an overload to prevent damage tothe wiring harness and electrical equip-ment. Check the main fuses if anyelectrical component fails to operate (ex-cept the starter motor) and other fuses aregood. A melted main fuse must bereplaced. Use only replacements with thesame specified rating as the melted mainfuse. If a main fuse blows after it isreplaced, have the electrical systemchecked by your nearest SUBARU dealer.
