3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier
properly with safety chains. Each
safety chain should be equally tigh-
tened and care must be taken not to
pull the chains so tightly that the
suspension bottoms out.
CAUTION
Transport by flat-bed truck may
cause the headlights to become
misaligned. In such a case, have
the headlight alignment checked by
a SUBARU dealer after transporting
the vehicle by flat-bed truck.
& Towing with All Wheels on the
Ground
s09af03
WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK”/“OFF” position while
the vehicle is being towed be-
cause the steering wheel and the
direction of the wheels will be
locked.
. Remember that the brake booster
and power steering do not func-
tion when the engine is not run-
ning. Because the engine is
turned off, it will take greater
effort to operate the brake pedal
and steering wheel.
CAUTION
. If transmission failure occurs,
transport your vehicle on a flat-
bed truck.
. Sometime damaged vehicles can-
not be towed because of their
damaged condition. In that case,
use a flat-bed truck for transpor-
tation.
. The traveling speed must be
limited to less than 20 mph (32
km/h) and the traveling distance
to less than 31 miles (50 km). For
greater speeds and distances,
transport your vehicle on a flat-
bed truck.
. Use a flat-bed truck if there are
long distance downgrades or
steep slopes. However, do not
apply the brake pedal for a long
time because the engine braking
will not work while towing. Doing
so could overheat the brake.
. Drive carefully and do not make
an impact on the towing rope by
suddenly starting.
. Use a specific towing rope for
towing. If wire ropes and metal
chains are needed to be used for
towing, wrap the contact portion
of the bumper with cloth to pro-
tect it from damage.
1. Release the parking brake and put the
transmission in neutral.
2. The ignition switch should be in the
“ON” position while the vehicle is being
towed.
3. Take up slack in the towline slowly to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
