Trying repeatedly to drive over a

over.
. When the road surface is extremely
slippery, you can obtain better traction
by starting the vehicle with the trans-
mission in 2nd than 1st. Refer to
“Selection of manual mode” P322.
. Do not rotate the tires at a high speed if
the vehicle is stuck due to muddy,
snowy, icy, or similar low-traction con-
ditions, or if any tire is not touching the
ground. Doing so may cause the tires to
burst or lead to an accident due to
abnormal overheating or damage to
drivetrain components.
. On rough roads and roads with large
undulations, have a leader guide you,
or check the road surface in advance to
select a road where the ground will not
come in contact with the undercarriage
of the vehicle body.
Drive the vehicle at 6 mph (10 km/h) or
less. If you hear any abnormal noise
while driving, contact a SUBARU deal-
er for an inspection as soon as possi-
ble.
. Do not allow the vehicle tires to be
submerged in deep sand, a river, or
seawater. If you have to drive under
these conditions, thoroughly wash the
vehicle after driving. If you hear any
abnormal noise while driving, contact a
SUBARU dealer for an inspection as
soon as possible.
. If the wheels are stuck, cutting the
steering wheel at a sharp angle may
cause the steering components to be
deformed. If you hear any abnormal
noise while driving or if you notice any
abnormalities due to rough running,
contact a SUBARU dealer for an
inspection as soon as possible.
. Avoid driving over curbs. Tires, wheels,
suspensions, and the mechanical com-
ponents under the vehicle body may be
unnoticeably damaged by the impact of
striking a curb or driving on a rough
road. If driving over a curb is unavoid-
able, ride over it slowly and at a right
angle to the curb. When parking your
vehicle, make sure that the tires are not
pressed against the curb.
. Do not drive for a long time while the
vehicle is tilted to the left or right.

. Always check your brakes for effective-
ness immediately after driving in sand,
mud or water. Do this by driving slowly
and stepping on the brake pedal.
Repeat that process several times to
dry out the brake discs and brake pads.
. After driving through tall grass, mud,
rocks, sand, rivers, etc., check that
there is no grass, bush, paper, rags,
stones, sand, etc. adhering to or
trapped on the underbody. Clear off
any such matter from the underbody. If
the vehicle is used with these materials
trapped or adhering to the underbody, a
mechanical breakdown or fire could
occur.
. Wash the vehicle’s underbody after off-
road driving. Suspension components
are particularly prone to dirt buildup, so
they need to be washed thoroughly.
