Towing

WARNING
Never tow AWD vehicles (both AT and MT) with the front wheels
raised off the ground while the rear wheels are on the ground, or
with the rear wheels raised off the ground while the front wheels
are on the ground. This will cause the vehicle to spin away due to
the operation or deterioration of the center differential.
If towing is necessary, it is best done by your SUBARU dealer or a com-
mercial towing service. Observe the following procedures for safety.
