Driving tips
To avoid damage to the catalytic conver-
ter:
. Use only unleaded fuel. Even a small
amount of leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converter.
. Never start the engine by pushing or
pulling the vehicle.
. Avoid racing the engine.
. Never turn off the ignition switch while
the vehicle is moving.
. Keep your engine tuned-up. If you feel
the engine running rough (misfiring, back-
firing or incomplete combustion), we re-
commend that you have your vehicle
checked and repaired by an authorized
SUBARU dealer.
. Do not apply undercoating or rust
prevention treatment to the heat shield of
catalytic converter and the exhaust sys-
tem.
. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel
level.

Periodic inspections

To keep your vehicle in the best condition
at all times, always have the recom-
mended maintenance services listed in
the maintenance schedule performed at
the specified time or mileage intervals.

Driving in foreign countries

When planning to use your vehicle in
another country:
. Confirm the availability of the correct
fuel. Refer to the "Fuel requirements"
section in chapter 7.
. Comply with all regulations and re-
quirements of each country.
