Trailer Towing - Subaru 2015 XV Crosstrek Hybrid Owner's Manual

Driving tips/Trailer towing
roof rails must be used together
with the roof rack and any appro-
priate carrying attachment that
may be needed. The roof rails
must never be used alone to
carry cargo. Otherwise, damage
to the roof or paint, or a danger-
ous road hazard due to loss of
cargo could result.
NOTE
Remember that the vehicle s center of
gravity is altered with the weight of the
load on the roof, thus affecting driving
characteristics.
Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, hard
cornering and abrupt stops. Crosswind
effects will be increased.
