Check the fuse and replace it if necessary.
Refer to "Fuses" P371. If the fuse is not
blown, have the cooling system checked
by your SUBARU dealer.
If the frequent addition of coolant is neces-
sary between vehicle service visits, it is
recommended that you have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized SUBARU
dealer to check for leaks, damage, or
looseness.■
Engine Coolant
▼
Checking the coolant level1) “FULL” level mark
2) “LOW” level mark
Check the coolant level at each fuel stop.
1. Check the coolant level on the outside
of the reservoir while the engine is cool.
2. If the level is close to or lower than the
“LOW” level mark, add coolant up to the
“FULL” level mark. If the reserve tank is
empty, remove the radiator cap and refill
coolant up to just below the filler neck as
shown in the following illustration.

Changing the coolant
It may be difficult to change the coolant.
Have the coolant changed by your
SUBARU dealer if necessary.
The coolant should be changed according
to the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
11-8. Air Cleaner ElementThe air cleaner element functions as a
filter screen. When the element is perfo-
rated or removed, engine wear will be
excessive and engine life shortened.
The air cleaner element is a dry type. It is
unnecessary to clean or wash the
element.
■
Replacing the Air Cleaner
Element

to the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
Under extremely dusty conditions, replace
it more frequently. It is recommended that
you always use genuine SUBARU parts.
WARNING
Do not operate the engine with the
air cleaner element removed. The
air cleaner element not only filters
intake air but also stops flames if
the engine backfires. If the air
cleaner element is not installed
when the engine backfires, you
could be burned.
CAUTION
When replacing the air cleaner ele-
ment, use a genuine SUBARU air
cleaner element. If it is not used,
there is the possibility of causing a

Maintenance and Service11
1) “MAX” level line2) “MIN” level line
Visually check the fluid level of the reser-
voir monthly on the even surface. Be sure
to check the clutch fluid level from the
outside of the reservoir. If the fluid level is
below “MIN”, top up clutch fluid to “MAX”.
Use only clutch fluid from a sealed
container.■
Recommended Clutch Fluid
Refer to "Fluids" P383.
11-16. Brake BoosterThe brake booster utilizes the vacuum
produced by the vacuum pump to reduce
the force required to depress the brake
pedal.
The vacuum in the brake booster may be
insufficient if the brake pedal is depressed
when the engine is stopped or after the
vehicle has been parked for a long period
of time. It such cases, it is necessary to
depress the brake pedal using greater
force than usual.
Never splash the clutch fluid over
painted surfaces or rubber parts.
Alcohol containe d in the clutch
fluid may damage them. Be careful not to spill clutch fluid
when adding it. If clutch fluid
touches the exhaust pipe, it may
cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or
a fire. If clutch fluid gets on the
exhaust pipe, be sure to wipe it
off.Check the fluid level for the clutch
system at the inboard side of the
reservoir. You cannot check the
fluid level at the outboard side of
the reservoir.

Replacement of Wiper Blades
367
Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
If you fill the windshield washer tank with
a fluid with a different concentration from
the one used previously, purge the old
fluid from the piping between the wind-
shield washer tank and washer nozzles by
operating the washer for a certain period
of time. Otherwise, if the concentration of
the fluid remaining in the piping is too low
for the outside temperature, it may freeze
and block the nozzles.
11-24. Replacement of Wiper BladesGrease, wax, insects, or other materials
on the windshield or the wiper blade
results in jerky wiper operation and
streaking on the glass. If you cannot
remove the streaks after operating the
windshield washer or if the wiper opera-
tion is jerky, clean the outer surface of the
windshield (or rear window) and the wiper
blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a
neutral detergent or mild abrasive cleaner.
After cleaning, rinse the windshield and
wiper blades with clean water. The wind-
shield is clean if beads do not form when
you rinse the windshield with water.
CAUTION
Never use engine coolant as washer
fluid because it could cause paint
damage.
CAUTION
Adjust the washer fluid concen-
tration appropriately for the
outside temperature. If the
concentration is inappropriate,
sprayed washer fluid may freeze
on the windshield and obstruct
your view, and the fluid may
freeze in the windshield washer
tank.Be careful foreign matter does
not contaminate the washer fluid
when filling the tank. Contamina-
tion could cause malfunctions,
such as clogging the pump.
State or local regulations on vola-
tile organic compounds may
restrict the use of methanol, a
common windshield washer anti-
freeze additive. Washer fluids
containing non-methanol anti-
freeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging
your vehicle’s paint, wiper blades
or washer system.
CAUTION
Do not clean the wiper blades
with gasoline or a solvent, such
as paint thinner or benzine. This
will cause deterioration of the
wiper blades.When you wish to raise the
passenger-side wiper arm, first
raise the driver-side wiper arm.
Otherwise, the passenger-side
wiper assembly and driver-side
wiper assembly will touch each
other, possibly resulting in
scratches.
