The total weight on the roof rails
including the roof crossbars, roof tent,
and all occupants and contents in the roof
tent must not exceed either the vehicle’s
roof rail load limit (700 lbs (317 kg)), evenly
distributed, or the load limit of the roof
crossbars, whichever is lower.
Load limit of the roof rail (A).
B + C + D < 700 lbs (317 kg)
Exceeding this load limit could cause
damage to the vehicle or racking system.
The vehicle must never be driven with
occupants in the roof tent. Before the
vehicle is driven, occupants and cargo

nied the roof tent for important safety

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 (Outback/Subaru
Outback Wilderness)” P473.
. Never drill the frame or under-
body of your vehicle to install a
commercial trailer hitch. If you
do, dangerous exhaust gas,
water or mud may enter the
passenger compartment through
the drilled hole. Exhaust gas
contains carbon monoxide, a col-
orless and odorless gas which is
dangerous, or even lethal, if in-
haled. Also, drilling the frame or
underbody of your vehicle could
cause deterioration of strength of
your vehicle and cause corrosion
around the drilled hole.
. Be sure your trailer has safety
chains and that each chain will
hold the trailers 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.
. Use only a ball mount that is
suitable for the trailer hitch. Use
the hitch only as a weight carry-
ing hitch. Do not use with any
type of weight distributing 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.
. If a trailer hitch is installed, it is
not possible to install the rear
towing hook.
CAUTION
Do not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, or other sys-
tems when installing a hitch or other
trailer towing equipment.
