1. Check the coolant level on the outside of the reservoir while the en-
gine is cool.
2. If the level is close to or lower than the "LOW" level mark, add coolant
up to the "FULL" level mark. If the reserve tank is empty, remove the ra-
diator cap and refill as required.
CAUTION
D The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a high
quality, corrosion-inhibiting, year-around coolant which provides
protection against freezing down to –33 F (–36 C). For adding,
use genuine SUBARU coolant or an equivalent: a mixture of 50%
soft water and 50% ethylene-glycol basis coolant. Use of improp-
er coolants may result in corrosion in the cooling system. It is im-
portant to maintain protection against freezing and corrosion,
even if freezing temperatures are not expected. Never mix differ-
ent kinds of coolant.
D Do not splash the engine coolant over painted parts. The alco-
hol contained in the engine coolant may damage the paint sur-
face.
