Headlight Beam Leveler
1823-12. Headlight Beam LevelerThe LED headlights produce more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
When the vehicle is carrying a heavy load
and the headlight beams are angled
upwards, the driver of an oncoming
vehicle may experience glare.
To prevent this, the automatic headlight
beam leveler adjusts the headlights to the
optimum height automatically depending
on the load the vehicle is carrying.
3-13. Turn Signal Lever1) Right turn
2) Lane change right signal
3) Lane change left signal
4) Left turnTo activate the turn signal:
Pushing the turn signal lever up/down and
releasing it activates the turn signal. Then
the lever returns to its original position.
To cancel the turn signal:
Push and release the turn signal lever
slightly in the opposite direction of the
active turn signal. To signal a lane change:
1. Push the turn signal lever up or down

slightly.
2. Hold in the signal lever during the lane
change.
The turn signal indicator lights will flash in
the direction of the turn or lane change.
The lever will return automatically to the
neutral position when you release it.
■ One-Touch Lane ChangerTo flash the turn signal and turn signal
indicator light three times, push the turn
signal lever up or down slightly and imme-
diately release it.NOTEThe operational/non-operational set-
ting of the one-touch lane changer can
be changed by a SUBARU dealer. Con-
tact the nearest SUBARU dealer for
details. The setting can also be
changed by operating the center infor-
mation display. For details, refer to
"Car settings" P165
CAUTION
In certain circumstances, the head-
lights may become misaligned, and
the headlight beam leveler will not
reset them to the proper angle. This
may occur after transporting your
vehicle on a flat-bed truck, or if the
vehicle is parked and restarted on
different angles. In such cases,
have the headlight alignment
checked by a SUBARU dealer.

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.

Towing
324holes, return the plugs to their original
places.■Using a Flat-Bed Truck
This is the best way to transport your
vehicle. Use the following procedures to
ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the select lever into the “P” posi-
tion for AT models. Sh ift the shift lever into
the 1st position for MT models.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier
properly with safety chains. Each safety
chain should be equally tightened and
care must be taken not to pull the chains
so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.
■ Towing with All Wheels on
the Ground
WARNING
Use the rear tie-down holes only for
downward anchoring. If they are
used to anchor the vehicle in any
other direction, cables may slip out
of the holes, possibly causing a
dangerous situation.
900488
CAUTION
Transport by flat -bed truck may
cause the headlights to become
misaligned. In such a case, have the
headlight alignment checked by a
SUBARU dealer after transporting
the vehicle by flat-bed truck.
WARNING
 Never turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position while the
vehicle is being towed because
the steering wheel and the direc-
tion of the wheels will be locked. Remember that the brake booster
and power steering do not func-
tion when the engine is not
running. Because the engine is
turned off, it w ill take greater
effort to operate the brake pedal
and steering wheel.

Tires and Wheels
363
Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
■Wheel BalanceEach wheel was correctly balanced
when your vehicle was new, but the
wheels will become unbalanced as
the tires become worn during use.
Wheel imbalance causes the
steering wheel to vibrate slightly at
certain vehicle speeds and detracts
from the vehicle’s straight-line
stability. It can also cause steering
and suspension system problems
and abnormal tire wear. If you
suspect that the wheels are not
correctly balanced, have them
checked and adjusted by your
SUBARU dealer. Also have them
adjusted after tire repairs and after
tire rotation.
NOTEThe suspension system is
designed to hold each wheel at a
certain alignment (relative to the
other wheels and to the road) for
optimum straight-line stability
and cornering performance.■ Wear Indicators1) New tread
2) Worn tread3)
Tread wear indicator
Each tire incorporates a tread wear
indicator, which becomes visible
when the depth of the tread grooves
decreases to 0.063 in (1.6 mm). A tire must be replaced when the

tread wear indicator appears as a
solid band across the tread.
NOTEFor safety, inspect the tire tread
regularly and replace the tires
before their tread wear indicators
become visible.
CAUTION
Loss of correct wheel align-
ment causes the tires to wear
on one side and reduces the
vehicle’s running stability.
Contact your SUBARU dealer
if you notice abnormal tire
wear.
12 3
B00327
WARNING
When a tire’s tread wear indi-
cator becomes visible, the tire
is worn beyond the accept-
able limit and must be
replaced immediately. With a
tire in this condition, driving at
high speeds in wet weather
can cause the vehicle to
hydroplane. The resulting loss
of vehicle control can lead to
an accident.
