When the road surface is extremely slippery, you can obtain better trac-
tion by starting the vehicle with the transmission in 2nd than 1st (both for
MT and AT).
D Never equip your vehicle with tires larger than those specified in this
manual.
D Frequent driving of an AWD vehicle under hard-driving conditions such
as rough roads or off roads will necessitate more frequent replacement of
engine oil, brake fluid and transmission oil than that specified in the main-
tenance schedule described in the Warranty and Maintenance Booklet.
Remember that damage done to your Subaru while operating if off-road
and not using common sense precautions such as those listed above is
not eligible for warranty coverage.
Winter driving
HS0141
J Operation during cold weather
Carry some emergency equipment, such as tire chains, a window scrap-
er, a bag of sand, flares, a small shovel, and jumper cables.
Check the battery and cables. Cold temperatures reduce battery capac-
ity. The battery must be in good condition to provide enough power for
cold winter starts.
Use an engine oil of proper grade and viscosity for cold weather. Heavy
summer oil will cause harder starting.
