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.
Emergency 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 retailer or a
commercial towing service.

and standard on every 2016 Subaru

Roadside Assistance is available
