8-8. On-road and off-road
driving
S08AH
WARNING
. Always maintain a safe driving
speed according to the road and
weather conditions in order to
avoid having an accident on a
sharp turn, during sudden brak-
ing or under other similar condi-
tions.
. Always use the utmost care in
driving – overconfidence be-
cause you are driving an All-
Wheel Drive model could easily
lead to a serious accident.
. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more
likely to die than a person wear-
ing a seat belt. The driver and all
passengers should fasten their
seatbelts before starting to drive
in order to minimize the chance
of serious injury or death.
. Do not make sharp turns or quick
maneuvers unless absolutely un-
avoidable. Such actions are dan-
gerous, as you may lose control,
possibly resulting in a rollover
which could cause death or ser-
ious injury.
. Whenever strong crosswinds are
present, slow down sufficiently
to maintain control of your vehi-
cle. Remember that your vehicle,
with its higher profile and center
of gravity, is more likely to be
affected by crosswinds than or-
dinary passenger cars.
CAUTION
Frequent driving of an AWD model
under hard-driving conditions such
as rough roads or off roads will
necessitate more frequent replace-
ment of the following items than that
specified in the maintenance sche-
dule described in the “Warranty and
Maintenance Booklet”.
. Engine oil
. Brake fluid
Remember that damage done to
your SUBARU while operating it
off-road and not using common
sense precautions such as those
listed here is not eligible for war-
ranty coverage.
Your vehicle is classified as a utility
vehicle. Utility vehicles feature a higher
ground clearance which enables them to
be used for wide applications including off-
road driving. However, please keep in
mind that your vehicle is neither a conven-
tional off-road vehicle nor an all-terrain
vehicle. A higher center of gravity in
relation to the tread width as compared
with ordinary passenger cars makes ve-
hicles of this type more likely to roll over. In
reality, utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. The high ground clearance of this
vehicle is a real advantage, giving you a
better view of the road and allowing you to
anticipate problems earlier. However, re-
member that your utility vehicle is not
designed for high-speed cornering com-
parable to ordinary passenger cars and
that your vehicle could roll over if you make
a sharp turn at a high speed.
If you take your SUBARU off-road, certain
common sense precautions such as those
in the following list should be taken.
& Before driving

passengers are wearing seatbelts.
. Carry some emergency equipment,
such as a towing rope or chain, a shovel,
