Driving Tips8
– CONTINUED –
Remember to drive with care at all times
regardless of the type of tires on your
vehicle.■
Tire Chains
NOTE
When tire chains cannot be used, use
of another type of traction device
(such as spring chains) may be
acceptable if use on your vehicle is
recommended by the device manufac-
turer, taking into account tire size and
road conditions. Follow the device
manufacturer’s instructions, espe-
cially regarding maximum vehicle
speed.
To help avoid damage to your vehicle,
drive slowly, readjust or remove the
device if it is contacting your vehicle,
and do not spin your wheels. Damage
caused to your vehicle by use of a
traction device is not covered under
warranty.
Make certain that any traction device
you use is an SAE class S device, and use it on the rear wheels only. Always
use the utmost care when driving with
a traction device. Overconfidence
because you are using a traction
device could easily lead to a serious
accident.
■
Rocking the Vehicle
If you must rock the v
ehicle to free it from
snow, sand, or mud, depress the acceler-
ator pedal slightly and move the shift
lever/select lever back and forth between
“1” (MT model)/“D” (AT model) and “R”
repeatedly. Do not race the engine. For
the best possible traction, avoid spinning
the wheels when trying to free the vehicle.
When the road surface is extremely slip-
pery, you can obtain better traction by
starting the vehicle with the transmission
in 2nd than in 1st (MT models).
If your vehicle is a AT model, Snow mode
can be used. For details about how to use
the mode, refer to "Driving Mode Select
Switch (If Equipped)" P241.
8-9. Loading Your Vehicle
CAUTION
Tire chains cannot be used on your
vehicle because of the lack of clear-
ance between the tires and vehicle
body.
WARNING
Never allow passengers to ride on a
folded rear seatback or in the trunk.
Doing so may result in serious
injury.
WARNING
 Never stack luggage or other
cargo higher than the top of the
seatback because it could tumble
forward and injure passengers in
the event of a sudden stop or
accident. Keep luggage or cargo
low, as close to the floor as
possible.

Vehicle Capacity Weight
The load capacity of your vehicle is deter-
mined by weight, not by available cargo
space. The maximum load you can carry
in your vehicle is shown on the tire infla-
tion pressure label attached to the driver’s
side center pillar. It includes the total
Stow cargo and luggage in the
trunk whenever possible.To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything in
the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo
and luggage low, as close to the
floor as possible.When you carry something inside
the vehicle, secure it whenever
you can to prevent it from being
thrown around inside the vehicle
during sudden stops, sharp turns
or in an accident.Secure long items properly to
prevent them from shooting

Flat Tires
308Do not use tire chains on a sealed
tire.Do not tow a trailer.If used for a purpose other than
sealing a flat tire, the flat tire
repair kit may cause a severe
accident or injury due to the fact
that compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.Safely park your vehicle on the
roadside so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic and so
that you are able to seal the flat
tire without being in danger.Apply the parking brake, even if
the vehicle is parked on a level
road, to make sure that the
vehicle will not move.Stop the engine before sealing
the flat tire.Turn on the hazard warning
flasher while sealing the flat tire.Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws that
have penetrated the tire. Leave
them as they are. Never leave the flat tire repair kit
unattended while in use.Only one tire can be repaired with
one bottle of sealant.
The tires can be repaired when
the ambient temperature is −22 °F
( − 30 °C) or higher.
CAUTION
 Remember that the flat tire repair
kit only provides temporary
mobility. Regulations concerning
tire repair after usage of flat tire
repair kit may di ffer from country
to country. We recommend that
you consult your SUBARU dealer
or tire dealer for advice. Store the flat tire repair kit safely
and secure it under the floor of
the trunk. Storing it anywhere in
the passenger compartment is
not advisable because it could
strike an occupant in the event of
a sudden stop or collision and
cause injury. Use the flat tire repair kit with
original vehicle tires only.Do not keep the air compressor
operating for more than 10
minutes, otherwise there is a risk
of overheating.The temperature of the air
compressor may become high.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
When raining, take measures to
prevent the air compressor from
being exposed directly to the
rain. Exposing to rain may cause
a malfunction.Do not use air compressors other
than the one in the repair kit.
Using an air compressor other
than the one in the repair kit may
damage the tires.Do not disassemble or modify the
air compressor to enable the use
of a power supply or a battery
other than DC 12 V.If a temporary puncture repair is
performed with the repair kit, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped) may not
operate normally.

In Case of Emergency9
– CONTINUED –
1. Release the parking brake and put the
transmission in neutral.
2. The ignition switch should be in the
“ON” position while the vehicle is being
towed.
3. Take up slack in the towline slowly to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
9-7. Access Key Fob – If
Access Key Fob Does Not Operate ProperlyThe following functions may be inoperable
because of strong radio signals in the
surrounding area or a low battery condi-
tion of the access key fob.
Locking/unlocking doors including
trunk
 Switching power status
 Starting engine
In such cases, perform the following
procedure. When the battery of the
access key fob is discharged, replace it
with a new one. Refer to "Replacing
Battery of Access Key Fob" P376.
CAUTION
 If transmission failure occurs,
transport your vehicle on a flat-
bed truck.Sometime damaged vehicles
cannot be towed because of their
damaged condition. In that case,
use a flat-bed truck for transpor-
tation.The traveling speed must be
limited to less than 20 mph (32
km/h) and the traveling distance
to less than 19 miles (30 km). For
greater speeds and distances,
transport your vehicle on a flat-
bed truck.Use a flat-bed truck if there are
long distance downgrades or
steep slopes. However, do not
apply the brake pedal for a long
time because the engine braking
will not work while towing. Doing
so could overheat the brake.Drive carefully and do not make
an impact on the towing rope by
suddenly starting.
Use a specific towing rope for
towing. If wire ropes and metal
chains are needed to be used for
towing, wrap the contact portion
of the bumper with cloth to
protect it from damage.
CAUTION
Keep metallic objects, magnetic
sources and signal transmitters
away from the area between the
access key fob and the push-button
ignition switch. They may interfere
with the communication between
the access key fob and the push-
button ignition switch.

Cleaning the Interior
335
Appearance Care10
– CONTINUED –
Check the interior of the vehicle for water
and dirt accumulation under the floor mats
because that could cause corrosion.
Occasionally check under the mats to
make sure the area is dry.
Keep your garage dry. Do not park your
vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated
garage. In such a garage, corrosion can
be caused by dampness. If you wash the
vehicle in the garage or put the vehicle
into the garage when wet or covered with
snow, that can cause dampness.
If your vehicle is operated in cold weather
and/or in areas where road salts and other
corrosive materials are used, the door
hinges and locks, trunk lid lock, and hood
latch should be inspected and lubricated
periodically.
10-3. Cleaning the InteriorUse a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches. (Do not use
organic solvents.)■
Seat Fabric Material
Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a
vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the
fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum
cleaner, use a soft brush then vacuum it.
Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly
wrung cloth and dry the seat fabric thor-
oughly. If the fabric is still dirty, wipe using
a solution of mild soap and lukewarm
water then dry thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a
commercially available fabric cleaner. Use
the cleaner on a hidden place and make
sure it does not affect the fabric adversely.
Use the cleaner according to its instruc-
tions.
NOTEAs the color of the meter visor may
transfer, do not place anything on top
of it.■
Leather Seat Materials
The leather used by SUBARU is a high
quality natural product which will retain its
distinctive appearance and feel for many
years with proper care.
Allowing dust or road dirt to build up on the
surface can cause leather to become
brittle and wear prematurely. To maintain
its resiliency, leather should be cleaned
monthly or whenever it becomes soiled.
Before cleaning leather upholstery,
vacuum it to remove dust. Use a soft and
lint-free cloth dampened with lukewarm
water and mild soap, taking care not to
soak the leather or allow water to pene-
trate the stitched seams. Use a gentle
circular motion while cleaning the leather -
do not rub or apply extreme pressure.
Wipe the leather again with another clean,
slightly damp cloth to remove soap
residue and dry with a soft cloth.
Minor surface blemishes or difficult dirt
spots may be treated with a commercial
leather spray. Never use alcohol, cleaning
solvents, leather oils, varnishes or
polishes on your leather as it will dry out
the leather finish.
CAUTION
When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzine, paint thinner, or any simi-
lar materials. Doing so could dam-
age the surface and cause the color
to deteriorate.
