WARNING
Never drill the frame or under-body of your vehicle to install a
commercial trailer hitch. If you do, dangerous exhaust gas, water
or mud may enter into the passenger compartment through the
drilled hole. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is dangerous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
Also, drilling the frame or under-body of your vehicle could cause
deterioration of strength of your vehicle and cause corrosion
around the drilled hole.
CAUTION
Do not modify the vehicle exhaust system, brake system, or other
systems when installing a hitch or other trailer towing equipment.
Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and trailer.
The use of genuine SUBARU trailer hitch is recommended. A genuine
SUBARU hitches are available from your SUBARU dealer.
If use of a non-genuine hitch is unavoidable, be sure the hitch is suited
to your vehicle and trailer. Consult with a professional hitch supplier to
assist you in choosing an appropriate hitch for your vehicle. Be sure to
follow all of the hitch manufacturer's instructions for installation and use.
