Option)
s08ak
WARNING
. Never exceed the maximum
weight specified for the trailer
hitch. Exceeding the maximum
weight could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal in-
juries. Permissible trailer weight
changes depending on the situa-
tion. For possible recommenda-
tions and limitations, refer to
“Trailer Towing” �P414.
. Trailer brakes are required when
the tow load exceeds 1,000 lbs
(453 kg).
. Be sure your trailer has safety
chains and that each chain will
hold the trailer’s maximum gross
weight. Towing trailers without
safety chains could create a traf-
fic safety hazard if the trailer
separates from the hitch due to
coupling damage or hitch ball
damage.
. Be sure to check the hitch pin and
safety pin for positive locking
placement before towing a trailer.
If the ball mount separates from
the receiver the trailer could
become loose and create a traffic
safety hazard.
. Although towing regulations for
trailer or caravan vehicles vary
by state/region, all regulations
agree that specifications such
as the maximum gross trailer
weight must not exceed the les-
ser of the following:
– Maximum gross trailer weight
– Maximum gross tongue
weight
– GVWR
– GAWR
. Failure to comply with the proce-
dures set forth will not only
compromise your safety, but will
also negate your insurance cov-
erage and/or may violate the state
road and traffic acts and regula-
tions.
. It is recommended to only use the
Genuine Subaru Ball Mount de-
veloped for use with this trailer
hitch available at your Subaru
dealership. Use the hitch only as
a weight carrying hitch. Do not
use with any type of weight dis-
tributing hitch.
. The standard bumper beam must
be installed after you remove the
trailer hitch. Consult a SUBARU
dealer for purchase of a standard
bumper beam if you do not have
the original.
. Safety performance is decreased
and there is increased risk of
injury to passengers in the case
of an accident if the SUBARU
genuine trailer hitch or a stan-
dard bumper beam is not in-
stalled. One of them must always
be installed on the vehicle.
. If a trailer hitch is installed, it is
not possible to install the rear
towing hook.

maximum gross tongue weight are indi-
cated in the following table.
