display (color TFT).
NOTEThe sonar audible alarm and auto-
matic braking are different in opera-
tion conditions. Therefore there are
cases in which only one of these func-
tions will activate.

After the vehicle is stopped by the
systemAfter the brake pedal is depressed, the
RAB OFF indicator will illuminate and the
system will temporarily stop operating.
The RAB OFF indicator will turn off when
the select lever is shifted to a position
other than the “R” position.
The system will operate again the next
time the select lever is shifted to the “R”
position.
NOTE
The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system will be disabled in the
following situations. - When 3 seconds pass after the
vehicle is stopped
- When any door is opened
- When the RAB warning indicator
is illuminated
- When the RAB OFF indicator is
illuminated
 The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system may stop operating
temporarily in the following cases and
the RAB OFF indicator will illuminate. - Ice, snow or mud is adhered to
the sonar sensors or the rear
bumper near the sonar sensor
- Objects are too close to the rear
bumper when the select lever is set
to the “R” position
- The system detects sounds of a
similar frequency to the RAB sonar

WARNING
Depress the brake pedal immedi-
ately after the system stops the
vehicle by automatic braking.
Depending on the conditions of the
road surface and tires, the vehicle
may not remain stopped, possibly
leading to an accident.

Handling of the Sonar
Sensors
The 4 sonar sensors are located in the
rear bumper. To ensure the proper opera-
tion of the Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system, observe the following
precautions. 
Do not affix any stickers or other items
on the sonar sensor or the bumper
surface near the sonar sensors.
 Always keep the sonar sensor and the
rear bumper surface near the sonar
sensors clean.
 Do not modify rear bumper.
 Do not paint the bumper near the sonar
sensors.
 Do not apply high pressure water to the
sonar sensors with a high pressure car-
washing machine.
 Do not apply strong impacts to the rear
bumper near the sonar sensors. If a
sensor becomes misaligned, a system
malfunction may occur, including inability
to detect objects in the reversing direction.
If any strong impact is applied to the rear
bumper, contact a SUBARU dealer to
have the system inspected.
 Do not disassemble the sonar sensors.
NOTEIf the sonar sensors require repair or
replacement, or if the area of the rear
bumper near the sonar sensors
requires repair, paintwork or replace-
ment, contact your SUBARU dealer for
assistance.

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.
