Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
11-1. Maintenance ScheduleU.S. models
The scheduled maintenance items
required to be serviced at regular intervals
are shown in the “Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”. For details, read the
separate “Warranty and Maintenance
Booklet”.
Canada models
The scheduled maintenance items
required to be serviced at regular intervals
are shown in the “Warranty and Service
Booklet”. For details, read the separate
“Warranty and Service Booklet”.
Except for U.S. and Canada models
Some items of your vehicle are required to
be serviced at scheduled intervals. For
details about your maintenance schedule,
read the separate “Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”.
11-2. Maintenance Precau-tionsWhen maintenance and service are
required, it is recommended that all workbe done by an authorized SUBARU
dealer.
If you perform maintenance and service
by yourself, you should familiarize your-
self with the information provided in this
section on general maintenance and
service for your SUBARU.
Incorrect or incomplete service could
cause improper or unsafe vehicle opera-
tion. Any problems caused by improper
maintenance and service performed by
you are not eligible for warranty coverage.
WARNING
 Always select a safe area when
performing maintenance on your
vehicle.Always be very careful to avoid
injury when working on the
vehicle. Remember that some of
the materials in the vehicle may
be hazardous if improperly used
or handled, for example, battery
acid.
Your vehicle should only be
serviced by persons fully compe-
tent to do so. Serious personal
injury may result to persons not
experienced in servicing vehi-
cles.Always use the proper tools and
make certain that they are well
maintained.Never get under the vehicle
supported only by a jack. Always
use safety stands to support the
vehicle.Never keep the engine running in
a poorly ventilated area, such as a
garage or other closed areas.Do not smoke or allow open
flames around the fuel or battery.
This will cause a fire. Because the fuel system is under
pressure, replacement of the fuel
filter should be performed only by
your SUBARU dealer.Wear adequate eye protection to
guard against getting oil or fluids
in your eyes. If something does
get in your eyes, thoroughly wash
them out with clean water.

Cooling System
348■
Synthetic Oil
You should use synthetic engine oil that
meets the same requirements given for
conventional engine oil. When using
synthetic oil, you must use oil of the same
classification, viscosity and grade shown
in this Owner’s Manual. Refer to "Engine
Oil" P381. Also, you must follow the oil
and filter changing intervals shown in the
Warranty and Maintenance booklet.NOTESynthetic oil of the grade and viscosity
noted in chapter 12 is the recom-
mended engine oil for optimum engine
performance. Conventional oil may be
used if synthetic oil is unavailable.
11-7. Cooling System
■
Cooling Fan, Hose and
Connections
Your vehicle employs an electric cooling
fan which is thermostatically controlled to operate when the engine coolant reaches
a specific temperature.
If the radiator cooling fan does not operate
even when the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge exceeds the normal operating
range, the cooling fan circuit may be
defective. Refer to "Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge" P129.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap until
the engine has been shut off and
has cooled down completely. Since
the coolant is under pressure, you
may suffer serious burns from a
spray of boiling hot coolant when
the cap is removed.
CAUTION
 Vehicles are filled at the factory
with SUBARU SUPER COOLANT
that does not require the first
change for 11 years/137,500 miles
(11 years/220,000 km). This
coolant should not be mixed with
any other brand or type of coolant
during this period. Mixing with a
different coolant will reduce the
life of the coolant. When neces-
sary to top off the coolant for any
reason, use only SUBARU
SUPER COOLANT.
If the SUBARU SUPER COOLANT
is diluted with another brand or
type, the maintenance interval is
shortened to that of the mixing
coolant.
 Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.

Tire Information
398Cord separation
The parting of cords from adjacent
rubber compounds.
 Cracking
Any parting within the tread,
sidewall, or inner liner of the tire
extending to cord material.
 Curb weight
The weight of a motor vehicle with
standard equipment including the
maximum capacity of fuel, oil and
coolant, and if so equipped, air
conditioning and additional weight
optional engine.
 Extra load tire
A tire designed to operate at higher
loads and higher inflation pressure
than the corresponding standard
tire.
 Groove
The space between two adjacent
tread ribs.
 Innerliner
The layer(s) forming the inside
surface of a tubeless tire that contains the inflating medium within
the tire.

Innerliner separation
The parting of the innerliner from
cord material in the carcass.
 Intended outboard sidewall
(1) The sidewall that contains a
whitewall, bears white lettering or
bears manufacturer, brand, and/
or model name molding that is
higher or deeper than the same
molding on the other sidewall of
the tire, or
(2) The outward facing sidewall
of an asymmetrical tire that has a
particular side that must always
face outward when mounting on a
vehicle.
 Light truck (LT) tire
A tire designated by its manufac-
turer as primarily intended for use
on lightweight trucks or multipur-
pose passenger vehicles.
 Load rating
The maximum load that a tire is
rated to carry for a given inflation
pressure. 
Maximum inflation pressure
The maximum cold inflation pres-
sure to which a tire may be inflated.
 Maximum load rating
The load rating for a tire at the
maximum permissible inflation pres-
sure for that tire.
 Maximum loaded vehicle
weight
The sum of:
(a) Curb weight
(b) Accessory weight
(c) Vehicle capacity weight
(d) Production options weight
 Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
The maximum cold inflation pres-
sure to which a tire may be inflated.
 Measuring rim
The rim on which a tire is fitted for
physical dimension requirements.
 Normal occupant weight
150 lbs (68 kg) times the number of
occupants specified in the second
column of Table 1 that is appended
to the end of this section.A4600BEscusenvhch13.fm 398 ページ ２０２１年７月９日　金曜日　午後４時３９分
