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 dealer for an
inspection as soon as possible.
. Do not allow the vehicle tires to be
submerged in deep sand, a river, or sea-
water. 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 compo-
nents 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 unavoidable, 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 under-
body. 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.

& Operation during Cold
Weather
s08ai01
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 tem-
peratures 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 con-
tains an antifreeze solution. Do not use
engine antifreeze or other substitutes
because they may damage the paint of
the vehicle.
