2003 New Model Update
The new (aluminum) hood line is lower on the
new Forester. Sliding a thumb across the top of
the grill until the release lever is located and slid
to the passenger side of the vehicle best
activates the secondary release for the hood.
The new headlight assembly can be removed
by first removing the grill and the filler panel.

The lower hood line of the vehicle requires the
use of a remote located power steering reservoir.
New to the Forester is the use of the module type
16
windshield wiper system. All components are
located behind the cowling.

The engine under cover is equipped with an
access door to reach the oil filter and the oil drain
plug.
