If use of a non-genuine hitch is unavoid-able, be sure the hitch is suited to yourvehicle and trailer. Consult with a profes-sional hitch supplier to assist you inchoosing an appropriate hitch for yourvehicle. Be sure to follow all of the hitchmanufacturer’s instructions for installationand use.
Never use a hitch that mounts only to therear bumper. The bumper is not designedto handle that type of load.
For all types of hitches, regularly checkthat the hitch mounting bolts and nuts aretight.
&Connecting a trailer
!Trailer brakes
WARNING
.Adequate size trailer brakes arerequired when the trailer and itscargo exceed 1,000 lbs (453 kg)total weight.
.Do not directly connect yourtrailer’s hydraulic brake systemto the hydraulic brake system inyour vehicle. Direct connectionwouldcause the vehicle’s brakeperformance to deteriorate and
could lead to an accident.
If your trailer’s total weight (trailer weightplus its cargo weight) exceeds 1,000 lbs(453 kg), the trailer is required to beequipped with its own brake system.Electric brakes or surge brakes arerecommended, and must be installedproperly. Check that your trailer’s brakesconform with Federal, state/province and/or other applicable regulations. YourSUBARU’s brake system is not designedto be tapped into the trailer’s hydraulicbrake system. Please ask your SUBARUdealer and professional trailer supplier formore information about the trailer’s brakesystem.
!Trailer safety chains
WARNING
Always use safety chains betweenyour vehicle and the trailer. Towingtrailer without safety chains couldcreate a traffic safety hazard if thetrailer separates from the hitch dueto coupling damage or hitch balldamage.
In case the trailer hitch connector or hitchball should break or become discon-nected, the trailer could get loose and
create a traffic safety hazard.
For safety, always connect the towingvehicle and trailer with trailer safetychains. Pass the chains crossing eachother under the trailer tongue to preventthe trailer from dropping onto the groundin case the trailer tongue should discon-nect from the hitch ball. Allow sufficientslack in the chains taking tight turnsituations into account; however, be care-ful not to let them drag on the ground.
For more information about the safetychain connection, refer to the instructionsfor your hitch and trailer.
!Side mirrors
After hitching a trailer to your vehicle,check that the standard side mirrorsprovide a good rearward field of viewwithout significant blind spots. If significant

–all cargo in the trailer is securedsafely in position.–the side mirrors provide a goodrearward field of view without a sig-nificant blind spot..Sufficient time should be taken to learnthe“feel”of the vehicle/trailer combinationbefore starting out on a trip. In an area freeof traffic, practice turning, stopping andbacking up.
!Driving with a trailer
.You should allow for considerably morestopping distance when towing a trailer.Avoid sudden braking because it mayresult in skidding or jackknifing and loss ofcontrol.
.Avoid uneven steering, sharp turns andrapid lane changes.
.Slow down before turning. Make alonger than normal turning radius becausethe trailer wheels will be closer than thevehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Ina tight turn, the trailer could hit yourvehicle.
.Crosswinds will adversely affect thehandling of your vehicle and trailer, caus-ing sway. Crosswinds can be due toweather conditions or the passing of largetrucks or buses. If swaying occurs, firmlygrip the steering wheel and slow downimmediately but gradually.
.When passing other vehicles, consid-erable distance is required because of theadded weight and length caused byattaching the trailer to your vehicle.
1) Left turn2) Right turn
.Backing up with a trailer is difficult andtakes practice. When backing up with atrailer, never accelerate or steer rapidly.When turning back, grip the bottom of thesteering wheel with one hand and turn it tothe left for a left turn, and turn it to the rightfor a right turn.
.If the ABS warning light illuminateswhile the vehicle is in motion, stop towingthe trailer and have repairs performedimmediately by the nearest SUBARUdealer.
!Driving on grades
.Before going down a steep hill, slowdown and shift into lower gear (if neces-sary, use 1st gear) in order to utilize theengine braking effect and prevent over-heating of your vehicle’s brakes. Do notmake sudden downshifts.
.When driving uphill in hot weather, theair conditioner may turn off automaticallyto protect the engine from overheating.
.When driving uphill in hot weather, payattention to the water temperature gaugepointer and AT OIL TEMP warning lightbecause the engine and transmission arerelatively prone to overheating underthese conditions. If the water temperaturegauge pointer approaches the OVER-HEAT zone or the AT OIL TEMP warninglight illuminates, immediately turn off theair conditioner and stop the vehicle in thenearest safe location. For further instruc-tions and additional information, refer tothe following sections.–“If you park your vehicle in anemergency”F9-2–“Engine overheating”F9-14–“Temperature gauge”F3-8–“AT OIL TEMP warning light”F3-13
NOTE
The temperature of engine coolant isless likely to rise to the OVERHEAT
