A: NOTE
This is information that can improve efficiency of maintenance and assure sound work.
1. FASTENER NOTICE
Fasteners are used to prevent parts from damage and dislocation due to looseness. Fasteners must be tight-
ened to the specified torque.
Do not apply paint, lubricant, rust retardant, or other substances to the surface around bolts, fasteners, etc.
Doing so will make it difficult to obtain the correct torque and result in looseness and other problems.
2. STATIC ELECTRICITY DAMAGE
Do not touch the ECM, connectors, logic boards, and other such parts when there is a risk of static electricity.
Always use a static electricity prevention cord or touch grounded metal before conducting work.
3. IGNITION OFF BATTERY
When removing the battery cables, always be sure to turn the ignition off to prevent electrical damage to the
ECM from rush current.
4. SERVICE PARTS
Use authentic service parts for maximum performance and maintenance, when conducting repairs. Subaru/
FHI will not be responsible for poor performance resulting from the use of parts not specified by a genuine
dealer.
5. LIFTS AND JACKS
When using a lift or jack-ridged rack to raise a vehicle, always follow instructions concerning jack-up points
and weight limits to prevent the vehicle from falling, which could result in injury. Be especially careful to make
sure the vehicle is balanced before raising it.
