sense precautions such as those

. After driving on gravel roads or
rough roads, check the under-
carriage of the vehicle body for
any damage, deformation, or
paint removal. If you notice any
irregularities, contact a SUBARU
dealer for an inspection as soon
as possible.
Because of the AWD feature and higher
ground clearance, you can drive your
SUBARU on ordinary roads or off-road.
But please keep in mind that an AWD
SUBARU is a passenger car and is neither
a conventional off-road vehicle nor an all-
terrain vehicle. If you do take your
SUBARU off-road, certain common sense
precautions such as those in the following
list should be taken.
& Before Driving
s08ah09
. Make certain that you and all of your
passengers are wearing seatbelts.
. Carry some emergency equipment,
such as a towing rope or chain, a
shovel, wheel blocks, first aid kit and
cell phone or citizens band radio.
. Secure all cargo carried inside the
vehicle and make certain that it is not
piled higher than the seatbacks. During
sudden stops or jolts, unsecured cargo
could be thrown around in the vehicle
and cause injury. Do not pile heavy
loads on the roof. Those loads raise the
vehicle’s center of gravity and make it
more prone to tip over.
. Never equip your vehicle with tires
larger than those specified in this
manual.
& During Driving
s08ah10
General precautions:
. Drive carefully. Do not take unneces-
sary risks by driving in dangerous areas
or over rough terrain.
. Slow down and employ extra caution at
all times. When driving off-road, you will
not have the benefit of marked traffic
lanes, banked curves, traffic signs and
the like.
. Do not drive across steep slopes.
Instead, drive either straight up or
straight down the slopes. A vehicle
can much more easily tip over sideways
than it can end over end. Avoid driving
straight up or down slopes that are too
steep.
. Avoid sharp turning maneuvers, espe-
cially at higher speeds.
. Do not grip the inside or spokes of the
steering wheel. A bad bump could jerk
the wheel and injure your hands.
Instead, drive with your fingers and
thumbs on the outside of the rim.
. Do not drive or park over or near
flammable materials such as dry grass
or fallen leaves, as they may burn
easily. The exhaust system is very hot
while the engine is running and right
after the engine stops. This could
create a fire hazard.
Precautions when driving under espe-
cially dangerous situations:
. If you must rock the vehicle to free it
from sand or mud, depress the accel-
erator pedal slightly and move the
select lever back and forth between
“1”/“D” 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
slippery, you can obtain better traction
by starting the vehicle with the trans-
mission in 2nd than 1st. Refer to
“Selection of Manual Mode” �P330.
