5. Engine Oil Filler Cap
Change your oil according to
the maintenance schedule in
your "Warranty and Maintenance
Booklet." Your engine oil must be
changed more frequently when you
drive on dusty roads, frequently
make short trips, or when you drive
in extremely cold weather.
6. Brake Fluid Reservoir
Check your brake fluid level
monthly. Observe the fluid level on
the outside of the reservoir. If the
level is below the "MIN" level mark,
add the recommended brake fluid
(FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT 3 or
4 brake fluid) to the "MAX" level
mark. Use only brake fluid from a
sealed container.
7. Windshield Washer Tank
It is a good idea to check your
washer fluid every time you stop
for fuel. If the level is low, fill the
windshield washer tank to the
neck of the reservoir with
windshield washer fluid. In cold
weather, use a freeze resistant
windshield washer fluid.
8. Battery
When your vehicle does not
start due to a battery that has
run down, the vehicle may be
jump-started by connecting your
battery to another battery with
jumper cables.
Jump-starting is dangerous if
done incorrectly. Please refer
to your Owner's Manual for
instructions. If you are unsure
about how to jump-start your
vehicle, please consult a
competent mechanic.
9. Main Fuse Box
Your WRX has two fuse boxes.
One is located under the
instrument panel, behind the fuse
box cover on the driver's seat side.
The other is housed in your engine
compartment, as shown here.
Fuses are designed to melt during
an overload situation in order to
prevent damage to the wiring
harness and electrical equipment.
If any lights, accessories or
electrical controls fail to operate
properly, inspect the corresponding
fuse. If it has blown, replace it in
accordance with the instructions
in your Owner's Manual. The fuse
puller and spare fuses are located
in the main fuse box in the
engine compartment.
