2. If the level is close to or lower than the
"LOW" level mark, remove the radiator cap
and add coolant up to the "FULL" level
mark.
3. After refilling the reserve tank and the
radiator, reinstall the cap and check that
the rubber gaskets inside the radiator cap
are in the proper position.
CAUTION
. Be careful not to spill inverter
with converter assembly coolant
when adding it. If coolant touches
the exhaust pipe, it may cause a
bad smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If
inverter with converter assembly
coolant gets on the exhaust pipe,
be sure to wipe it off.
. Do not splash the inverter with
converter assembly coolant over
painted parts. The alcohol con-
tained in the inverter with con-
verter assembly coolant may da-
mage the paint surface.
! Changing the coolant
It may be difficult to change the coolant.
Have the coolant changed by your
SUBARU dealer if necessary.
The coolant should be changed according
to the maintenance schedule in the "War-
ranty and Maintenance Booklet".

Air cleaner element

11-7. Air cleaner element
WARNING
Do not operate the engine with the
air cleaner element removed. The air
cleaner element not only filters in-
take air but also stops flames if the
engine backfires. If the air cleaner
element is not installed when the
engine backfires, you could be
burned.
CAUTION
When replacing the air cleaner ele-
ment, use a genuine SUBARU air
cleaner element. If it is not used,
there is the possibility of causing a
negative effect to the engine.
The air cleaner element functions as a filter
screen. When the element is perforated or
removed, engine wear will be excessive
and engine life shortened.
It is not necessary to clean or wash the air
cleaner element.
