New Vehicle Break-In Driving – the First 1,000 miles (1,600 km)
2908-1. New Vehicle Break-In
Driving – the First 1,000 miles(1,600 km)The performance and long life of your
vehicle are dependent on how you handle
and care for your vehicle while it is new.
Follow these instructions during the first
1,000 miles (1,600 km):
Do not race the engine. And do not
allow engine speed to exceed 4,000 rpm
except in an emergency.
 Do not drive at one constant engine or
vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or
slow.
 Avoid starting suddenly and rapid
acceleration, except in an emergency.
 Avoid hard braking, except in an emer-
gency.
The same break-in procedures should be
applied to a newly installed or overhauled
engine or when brake pads are replaced
with new ones.
8-2. Fuel Economy HintsThe following suggestions will help to
save your fuel.
 Select the proper gear position for the
speed and road conditions.
 Avoid sudden acceleration or decelera-
tion. Always accelerate gently until you
reach the desired speed. Then try to main-
tain that speed for as long as possible.
 Do not pump the accelerator and avoid
racing the engine.
 Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
 Keep the engine properly tuned.
 Keep the tires inflated to the correct
pressure shown on the tire inflation pres-
sure label, which is located on the driver’s
center pillar. Low pressure will increase
tire wear and fuel consumption.
 Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
 Keep the front and rear wheels in
proper alignment.
 Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage or
cargo.
8-3. Engine Exhaust Gas(Carbon Monoxide)
WARNING
 Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is
dangerous, or even lethal, if
inhaled.Always properly maintain the
engine exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from entering
the vehicle.Never run the engine in a closed
space, such as a garage, except
for the brief time needed to drive
the vehicle in or out of it. Avoid remaining in a parked
vehicle for a long time while the
engine is running. If that is
unavoidable, then use the ventila-
tion fan to force fresh air into the
vehicle.Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system
always works properly.

2928-5. Periodic InspectionsTo keep your vehicle in the best condition
at all times, always have the recom-
mended maintenance services listed in
the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”
performed at the specified time or mileage
intervals.
8-6. Driving in Foreign Coun-triesWhen planning to use your vehicle in
another country:
Confirm the availability of the correct
fuel. Refer to "Fuel Requirements"
 P223.
 Comply with all regulations and
requirements of each country.
8-7. Driving Tips
WARNING
 Always maintain a safe driving
speed according to the road and
weather conditions in order to
avoid having an accident on a
sharp turn, during sudden
braking or under other similar
conditions.When replacing or installing
tire(s), all four tires must be the
same for the following items.
(a) Size(b) Speed symbol(c) Load index(d) Circumference(e) Construction(f) Manufacturer(g) Brand (tread pattern)(h) Degrees of wearFor items (a) to (c), you must
obey the specification that is

8-8. Winter Driving■
Operation during Cold
Weather
Carry some emergency equipment, such
as a window scraper, a bag of sand,
flares, a small shovel and jumper cables.
Check the battery and cables. Cold
temperatures reduce battery capacity.
The battery must be in good condition to
provide enough power for cold winter
starts.
It normally takes longer to start the engine
in very cold weather conditions. Use an
engine oil of a proper grade and viscosity
for cold weather. Using heavy summer oil
will make it harder to start the engine.
Keep the door locks from freezing by
squirting them with deicer or glycerin.
Forcing a frozen door open may damage
or separate the rubber weather strips
around the door. If the door is frozen, use
hot water to melt the ice, and afterwards
thoroughly wipe the water away.
Use a windshield washer fluid that
contains an antifr eeze solution. Do not
use engine antifreeze or other substitutes
because they may damage the paint of
the vehicle.
If you fill the windshield washer tank with
a fluid with a different concentration from
If all four tires are not the same in
items (a) to (h), serious mechani-
cal damage could be caused to
the drivetrain of the car, and
affect the followings.- Ride- Handling- Braking- Speedometer/Odometer cali-
bration- Clearance between the bodyand the tires
It also may be dangerous and
lead to loss of vehicle control,
and it can lead to an accident.
 In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a
seat belt. The driver and all your
passengers should fasten their
seatbelts before st arting to drive
in order to minimize the chance of
serious injury or death. Do not make sharp turns or quick
maneuvers unless absolutely
unavoidable. Such actions are
dangerous as you may lose
control, possibly resulting in a
rollover which could cause death
or serious injury.
Whenever strong crosswinds are
present, slow do wn sufficiently to
maintain control of your vehicle. Never to drive through pools and
puddles, or roads flooded with
water. Water entering the engine
air intake or the exhaust pipe or
water splashing onto electrical
parts may damage your vehicle
and may cause it to stall. In this
case, contact your SUBARU
dealer immediat ely. Regardless
of its depth, it can wash away the
ground from under your tires,
resulting in possible loss of trac-
tion and even vehicle rollover.
CAUTION
After driving on gravel roads or
rough roads, check the undercar-
riage of the vehicle body for any
damage, deformation, or paint
removal. If you notice any irregulari-
ties, contact a SUBARU dealer for
an inspection as soon as possible.

Driving Tips8
– CONTINUED –
When parking for long periods in cold
weather, you should observe the following
tips.
1. For MT models, place the shift lever in
the “1” or “R” position. For AT models,
place the select lever in the “P” position.
2. Use tire stops under the tires to
prevent the vehicle from moving.
▼
Refueling in cold weather
To help prevent moisture from forming in
the fuel system and t he risk of its freezing,
use of an antifreeze additive in the fuel
tank is recommended during cold
weather.
Use only additives that are specifically
designed for this purpose. When an anti-
freeze additive is used, its effect lasts
longer if the tank is refilled whenever the
fuel level reaches half empty.
If your SUBARU is not going to be used for
an extended period, it is best to have the
fuel tank filled to capacity.
■
Driving on Snowy and Icy
Roads
To prevent skidding and slipping, avoid
sudden braking, abrupt acceleration, high-
speed driving, and sharp turning when
driving on snowy or icy roads.
Always maintain ample distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you
to avoid the need for sudden braking.
To supplement the foot brake, use the
engine brake effectively to control the
vehicle speed. (Shift into a lower gear
when necessary.) Avoid shifting down abruptly. Such
behavior can cause the wheels to lock,
possibly leading to loss of vehicle control.
An anti-lock brake system (ABS)
enhances your vehicle’s braking perfor-
mance on snowy and icy roads. For infor-
mation about braking on slippery
surfaces, refer to "ABS (Anti-Lock Brake
System)"
P245 and "Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC)/TRAC System" P247.
For AT models, use the Snow mode when
driving on snowy or icy roads. For details
about how to use the mode, refer to
"Driving Mode Select Switch (If
Equipped)"  P241.
▼
Wiper operation when snowing
Before driving in cold weather, make sure
the wiper blade rubbers are not frozen to
the windshield.
If the wiper blade rubbers are frozen to the
windshield, use the defroster with the
airflow selection in “ ” and the tempera-
ture set for maximum warmth until the
wiper blade rubbers are completely
thawed. Refer to "Cli mate Control Panel"
 P198.
Snow stuck on the wiper arm prevents the
wiper from working effectively. If snow is
stuck on the wiper arm, pull off the road to
a safe place, then remove it. If you stop
the vehicle at road side, use the hazard
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads such as snowy or icy
roads. This may cause loss of vehi-
cle control.
CAUTION
Avoid prolonged continuous driving
in snowstorms. Snow will enter the
engine’s intake system and may
hinder the airflow, which could
result in engine shutdown or even
breakdown.

Refer to "Hazard Warning Flasher"
P127.
We recommend use of non-freezing type
wiper blades (winter blades) during the
seasons you could have snow and
freezing temperatures. Blades of this type
give superior wiping performance in
snowy conditions. Be sure to use blades
that are suitable for your vehicle.NOTEWhen the season requiring non-freez-
ing type wiper blades is over, replace
them with standard wiper blades.■
Corrosion Protection
Refer to "Corrosion Protection" P334.
■
Snow Tires
In winter, it may be possible to enhance
performance through use of tires
designed specifically for winter driving
conditions.
If you choose to install winter tires on your
vehicle, be sure to use the correct tire size
and type.
You must install four winter tires that are of
the same size, construction, brand and
load range and you should never mix
radial, belted bias or bias tires since this
may result in dangerous handling charac-
teristics. When you choose a tire, make
sure that there is enough clearance
between the tire and vehicle body.
CAUTION
During high-speed driving, non-
freezing type wiper blades may not
perform as well as standard wiper
blades. If this happens, reduce the
vehicle speed.
WARNING
 When replacing or installing
winter tire(s), all four tires must
be the same for the following
items.
(a) Size(b) Speed symbol(c) Load index(d) Circumference(e) Construction(f) Manufacturer(g) Brand (tread pattern)(h) Degrees of wearFor items (a) to (c), you must
obey the specification that is
printed on the tire inflation pres-
sure label. The ti re inflation pres-
sure label is located on the
driver’s center pillar.If all four tires are not the same in
items (a) to (h), serious mechani-
cal damage could be caused to
the drivetrain of the car, and
affect the followings.

It also may be dangerous and
lead to loss of vehicle control,
and it can lead to an accident.
 Do not use a combination of
radial, belted bias or bias tires
since it may cause dangerous
handling characteristics and lead
to an accident.
