CAUTION

Please clearly understand and adhere to the following general precautions. They must be strictly followed to avoid any injury to the person doing the work or people in the area.

VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)

Handle the VDC as a total system. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair individual parts. Doing so could prevent the VDC system from operating when needed or cause it to operate incorrectly and result in injury.

RADIATOR FAN

The radiator fan may rotate without warning, even when the engine is not ON. Do not place your hand, cloth, tools or other items near the fan at any time.

AIRBAG

To prevent bodily injury from unexpected deployment of airbags and unnecessary maintenance, follow the instructions in this manual when performing maintenance on or near the airbag components, around front of the vehicle (radiator panel, front wheel apron, front side frame, bumper, hood, front fender), around side of the vehicle (front door, rear door, center pillar, rear fender, side sill, rear wheel apron), and on or near the airbag wiring harnesses. To prevent unexpected deployment, turn the ignition switch to OFF and disconnect the ground cable from battery, then wait at least 20 seconds before starting work.

AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DISPOSAL

To prevent bodily injury from unexpected airbag deployment, do not dispose the airbag modules and seat belt pretensioner in the same way as other waste. Follow all government regulations concerning disposal of refuse.

AIRBAG MODULE

Carefully observe the following when handing and storing the airbag module to prevent bodily injury from unexpected deployment

1. Do not hold the harnesses or connectors to carry the module.
2. Do not face the bag in the direction that it opens towards yourself or other people.
3. Do not face the bag in the direction that it opens towards the floor or walls.

WINDOW

Always wear safety glasses when working around any glass to prevent glass fragments from damaging your eyes.

WINDOW ADHESIVE

Always use the recommended or equivalent adhesive when attaching glass to prevent it from coming falling, resulting in accidents and injury.

OIL

When handling oil, follow the rules below to prevent unexpected accidents.

1. Prepare a container and cloth when performing work which oil possibly spills. If oil spills, wipe it off immediately to prevent from penetrating into floor or flowing out, to protect the environmental.
2. Follow all government regulations concerning disposal of refuse when disposing.

FUEL

When handling and storing fuel, carefully observe the following to prevent unexpected accidents.

1. Be careful of fires.
2. Prepare a container and cloth to prevent scattering of fuels when performing work where fuels can be spilled. If the fuel spills, wipe it off immediately to prevent it from penetrating the floor or flowing out, to protect the environmental.
3. Follow all government and local regulations concerning disposal of refuse when disposing.

ENGINE COOLANT

When handling engine coolant, adhere to the following to prevent from unexpected accident.

1. Never remove the radiator cap because of the danger of engine coolant blowing out when the engine coolant is hot.
2. Prepare a container and cloth to prevent spraying of engine coolant when performing work in which engine coolant can be spilled. If the fuel spills, wipe it off immediately to prevent from penetrating into floor or flowing out for environmental protection.
3. Follow all government and local regulations concerning disposal of refuse when disposing.

AIR CONDITIONER REFRIGERANT

In order to prevent from global warming, avoid releasing air conditioner refrigerant into the atmosphere. Using a refrigerant recovery system, discharge and reuse it.

NOTE

This information will improve the efficiency of maintenance and assure that the finished work is of a good quality.

FASTENERS NOTICE

Fasteners are used to prevent the parts from damage, dislocation and play due to looseness. Fasteners must be tightened to the specified torque.

Do not apply paint, lubricant, rust retardant or other substance to the surface around bolts, nuts, etc. Doing so will make it difficult to obtain the correct torque and result in looseness and other problem.

STATIC ELECTRICITY DAMAGE

Do not touch the control modules, connectors, logic boards and other such parts when there is a possibility of static electricity. Always use a static electricity prevention cord or touch grounded metal for the elimination of static electricity before conducting work.

BATTERY

When removing the battery terminal, always be sure to turn the ignition to OFF to prevent electrical damage of the control module from overcurrent. Be sure to remove the battery ground cable first.

When removing the battery terminal, memories such as the stereo and control unit DTC are erased. Therefore, the content of each memory should be recorded first.

SERVICE PARTS

Use genuine parts for maximum performance and maintenance when conducting repairs. Subaru/FHI will not be responsible for poor performance resulting from the use of parts except for genuine parts.

ENSURING SECURITY DURING WORK

When working in a group of two or more, perform the work with calling each other to ensure mutual safety.

LIFT AND JACK

When using a lift or shop jack raise a vehicle or using rigid rack to support a vehicle, always follow instructions concerning jack-up points and weight limits to prevent the vehicle from falling, which could result in injury. Be especially careful that the vehicle is balanced before raising it. Be sure to set the wheel stoppers when jacking-up only the front or rear side of the vehicle.

Note. When using a lift, follow its operation manual before work. Do not work or leave unattended while the vehicle is supported with jack, support it with rigid racks. Be sure to use the rigid racks with rubber attached to cradle to support the vehicle. When using a plate lift, use a rubber attachment. Align the cushion rubber end of plate lift with the end of rubber attachment (Portion b). Also, align the protrusion portion of the supporting locations with the end of attachment (Portion a). Do not use the plate lift whose attachment does not reach the supporting locations.

NOTES TOWING PRECAUTIONS Towing Precautions AT Lifting up four wheels (On a trailer) Towing the vehicle after lifting up all four wheels is a basic rule for AWD model. o Rope Check if both front and rear wheels are rotated normally. Driving speed 30 km/h (19 MPH) or less Allow driving distance 50 km (31 miles) or less delta Raising the front wheels Prohibition X Lifting up the front wheels Prohibited, due to damage on bumper, front grille, etc. Do not raise the vehicle with bumper. X Marked o: OK, Marked X : Prohibited, Marked delta : Conditionally OK. CAUTION: Check ATF, gear oil and rear differential oil before driving. Place the shift lever in "N" position during towing. Do not lift up the rear wheels to avoid unsteady rotation. Turn the ignition key to "ACC", then check the steering wheel moves freely. Release the parking brake to avoid tire dragging. Since the power steering does not work, be careful for the heavy steering effort. (When engine is stopped) Since the servo brake does not work, be careful that the brake is not applied effectively. (When engine is stopped) In case of the malfunction of internal transmission or drive system, lift up four wheels (on a trailer) for towing.

Scheme 61

Scheme 62

Scheme 63

1. Check the free play of brake pedal with pulling up the force of less than 10 N (1 kgf, 2 lb). Brake pedal free play (Pulling up direction of pedal) 0.5 - 2.0 mm (0.02 - 0.08 in)
2. If the free play is out of specifications above, adjust the brake pedal as follows. Make sure the engine is off. (No vacuum is applied to brake booster.) There should be play between brake booster clevis and pin at brake pedal installing portion. [Pulling up the brake pedal pad with a force of 10 N (1 kgf, 2 lb) or less to a stroke of 0.5 to 2.0 mm (0.02 to 0.08 in).] If there is no free play between clevis pin and clevis, turn brake switch adjusting nut until the clearance between stopper and screw of brake switch becomes 0.8 mm (0.031 in).
