Driving tips
B Side mirrors
After hitching a trailer to your vehicle, check that the
standard side mirrors provide a good rearward field
of view without significant blind spots. If significant
blind spots occur with the vehicle's standard side
mirrors, use towing mirrors that conform with Fed-
eral, state/province and/or other applicable regula-
tions.
B Trailer lights
Connection of trailer lights to your vehicle's electrical
system requires modifications to the vehicle's light-
ing circuit to increase its capacity and accommo-
date wiring changes. To ensure the trailer lights are
connected properly, please consult your SUBARU
8-34
HB0085
dealer. Check for proper operation of the turn sig-
nals, the brake lights and parking lights each time
you hitch up.
CAUTION
Direct splicing or other improper connection
of trailer lights may damage your vehicle's
electrical system and cause a malfunction of
your vehicle's lighting system.
B Tires
Make sure that all the tires on your vehicle are prop-
erly inflated to the pressure specified on the tire
placard located on the left center pillar of your ve-
hicle.
Trailer tire condition, size, load rating and proper
inflation pressure should be in accordance with the
trailer manufacturer's specifications.
In the event your vehicle gets a flat tire when towing
a trailer, ask a commercial road service to repair the
flat tire.
If you carry a regular size spare tire in your vehicle
or trailer as a precaution against getting a flat tire,
be sure that the spare tire is firmly secured.
