Interior equipment
HS6034BA
Accessory power outlets are provided in the center console and in the cargo area. Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is on tap at the socket when the ignition switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” position. You can use an in-car use electrical appliance by con- necting it to the socket. When both outlets are used at the same time, the total power consumption of the electric appliances must be 120W or less.
y Do not attempt to use a cigarette lighter in the
6-10
accessory power outlet. y Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the accessory power outlet. That could cause a short circuit. Always put the cap on the acces- sory power outlet when it is not in use. y Use only electrical appliances which are de- signed for 12V DC and which consume less than 120W. Overloading the accessory power outlet can cause a short circuit. Do not use dou- ble adapters or more than one electrical appli- ance. y If the plug on your electric appliance is either too loose or too tight for the accessory power outlet, this can result in a poor contact or cause the plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit properly. y Use of an electric appliance in the accessory power outlet for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery dis- charge. y Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the cord on your electrical appli- ance will not interfere with your shifting gears and operating the accelerator and brake pedals. If they do, do not use the electrical appliance
while driving.
Cigarette lighter socket

NOTE When the lid of the center console is closed, a gap remains between the center console and the lid to allow the power outlet in the center console to be used. Pass the electrical appliance’s cord through this gap.
HS6035BA
A cigarette lighter socket can be found behind the ash- tray lid under the climate controls. Push gently on the lid to open it. A cigarette lighter plug is an optional ac- cessory. It is available from your SUBARU dealer. The cigarette lighter socket may also be used as a power source for an in-car use electrical appliance.

lighter plug. Do not use non-genuine cigarette lighter plugs in the socket. Doing so may cause a short-circuit and overheating, resulting in a fire. y If the socket is ever used for a plug-in acces- sory such as a mobile phone, that may damage the portion of the socket’s internal mechanism that causes a cigarette lighter plug to “pop out” after its lighter element is heated. Therefore, do not place a cigarette lighter plug in a socket that has been used, even once, to power a plug- in accessory. Doing so may cause the plug to stick and overheat, creating a potential fire haz- ard. y Do not place any foreign objects, especially metal ones such as coins or aluminum foil, into the socket. That could cause a short circuit.
6-12
Use with a cigarette lighter
HS6036BA
The cigarette lighter operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” and “ACC” positions. To use the cigarette lighter, push in the knob and wait a few moments. It will automatically spring up when ready for use.
To avoid being burned, never grasp the lighter by the end with the heating element. Doing so could result in injury and could also damage the heating element.
Do not hold the lighter pushed in, because it will overheat.
Using as an accessory power outlet Electrical power (12V DC) from the battery is on tap at the socket when the ignition switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” position. If you use the socket as an accessory power outlet, take the following precautions. When the socket is not in use, always put the cap on the socket to prevent any foreign object from entering it.
y Use only in-car use electrical appliances which are designed for 12V DC and which con- sume less than 120W. Overloading the socket can cause a short circuit. Do not use double adapters or more than one electrical appliance. y If the plug on your electric appliance is either too loose or too tight for the socket, this can re- sult in a poor contact or cause the plug to get stuck. Only use plugs that fit properly.
Interior equipment
y Use of an electric appliance in the socket for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery discharge. y Before driving your vehicle, make sure that the plug and the cord on your electrical appli- ance will not interfere with your shifting gears and operating the accelerator and brake pedals. If they do, do not use the electrical appliance while driving.
If the socket has been used for electrical appliances, damage may have been done to the internal mecha- nism that causes a cigarette lighter to “pop out” after its element has been heated. For that reason, a ciga- rette lighter, even if it is a genuine part, should not be used in the socket. If you want to use the socket for a cigarette lighter again, or to protect your purchaser be- fore you sell your car, have your SUBARU dealer re- place the socket with a new one.

Maintenance and serviceMaintenance schedule
Maintenance precautions
The scheduled maintenance items required to be ser- viced at regular intervals are shown in the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
When maintenance and service are required, it is rec- ommended that all work be done by an authorized SUBARU dealer.
Maintenance and service
For details of your maintenance schedule, read the separate “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
If you perform maintenance and service by yourself, you should familiarize yourself with the information provided in this section on general maintenance and service for your SUBARU.
Incorrect or incomplete service could cause improper or unsafe vehicle operation. Any problems caused by improper maintenance and service performed by you are not eligible for warranty coverage.
y Testing of an All-Wheel Drive vehicle must NEVER be performed on a single two-wheel dy- namometer or similar apparatus. Attempting to do so will result in transmission damage and in uncontrolled vehicle movement and may cause an accident or injuries to persons nearby. y Always select a safe area when performing maintenance on your vehicle. y Always be very careful to avoid injury when working on the vehicle. Remember that some of

Maintenance and service
the materials in the vehicle may be hazardous if improperly used or handled, for example, bat- tery acid. y Your vehicle should only be serviced by per- sons fully competent to do so. Serious person- al injury may result to persons not experienced in servicing vehicles. y Always use the proper tools and make certain that they are well maintained. y Never get under the vehicle supported only by a jack. Always use a safety stands to sup- port the vehicle. y Never keep the engine running in a poorly ventilated area, such as a garage or other closed areas. y Do not smoke or allow open flames around the fuel or battery. This will cause a fire. y Because the fuel system is under pressure, replacement of the fuel filter should be per- formed only by your SUBARU dealer. y Wear adequate eye protection to guard against getting oil or fluids in your eyes. If something does get in your eyes, thoroughly wash them out with clean water. y Do not tamper with the wiring of the SRS air- bag system or seatbelt pretensioner system, or attempt to take its connectors apart, as that
11-4
may activate the system or it can render it inop- erative. The wiring and connectors of these systems are yellow for easy identification. NEV- ER use a circuit tester for these wiring. If your SRS airbag or seatbelt pretensioner needs service, consult your nearest SUBARU dealer.
Before checking or servicing in the en-
gine compartment
y Always stop the engine and set the parking brake firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov- ing. y Always let the engine cool down. Engine parts become very hot when the engine is run- ning and remain hot for some time after the en- gine is stopped. y Do not spill engine oil, engine coolant, brake fluid or any other fluid on hot engine compo- nents. This may cause a fire. y Always remove the key from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the cooling fan may operate suddenly
even when the engine is stopped.

2. Release the secondary hood release located under the front grille by moving the lever toward the left.
Lift up the hood, release the hood prop from its retain- er and put the end of the hood prop into the slot in the hood.
To close the hood: 1. Lift the hood slightly and remove the hood prop from the slot in the hood and return the prop to its re- tainer. 2. Lower the hood until it approaches about 12 in. (30
cm) from the closed position and let it drop.After closing the hood, be sure the hood is securely locked.
If this does not close the hood, release it from a slightly
11-6
higher position. Do not push the hood forcibly to close it. It could deform the metal.
Always check that the hood is properly locked before you start driving. If it is not, it might fly open while the vehicle is moving and block your view, which may cause an accident and serious bodily injury.

gine. 3. Remove the oil filler cap.
If you check the oil level just after stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan before checking the level. Just after driving or while the engine is warm, the en- gine oil level reading may be in a range between the upper level and the notch mark. This is caused by ther- mal expansion of the engine oil. To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add any additional oil above the upper level when the engine is cold.
Changing the oil and oil filter Change the oil and oil filter according to the mainte- nance schedule in the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”. The engine oil and oil filter must be changed more fre- quently than listed in the maintenance schedule when driving on dusty roads, when short trips are frequently made, when towing a trailer, or when driving in ex- tremely cold whether.

The oil quantity indicated above is only a guideline. The necessary quantity of oil depends on the quantity of oil that has been drained. The quantity of drained oil differs slightly depending on the temperature of the oil and the time the oil is left flowing out. After pouring oil into the engine, therefore, you must use the dipstick to confirm that the level is correct. 13.Start the engine and make sure that no oil leaks ap- pear around the filter’s rubber seal. 14.Run the engine until it reaches the normal operat- ing temperature. Then stop the engine and wait a few minutes to allow the oil drain back. Check the oil level again and if necessary, add more engine oil.

In choosing an oil, you want the proper quality and vis- cosity, as well as one that will add to fuel economy. The following table lists the recommended viscosities and applicable temperatures. When adding oil, different brands may be used togeth- er as long as they are the same API classification and SAE viscosity as those recommended by SUBARU.
SAE viscosity number and applicable temperature *: 5W-30 is preferred.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) affects fuel economy. Oils of lower viscosity provide better fuel economy. However, in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is re- quired to properly lubricate the engine.
Use only engine oil with the recommended grade and viscosity.

Cooling system
Never attempt to remove the radiator cap until the engine has been shut off and has cooled down completely. Since the coolant is under pressure, you may suffer serious burns from a spray of boiling hot coolant when the cap is re- moved.
The cooling system has been filled at the facto- ry 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 improper coolants may result in corrosion in the cooling system. It is important to maintain protection against freezing and corrosion, even if freezing temperatures are not expected. Never mix dif- ferent kinds of coolant.
Cooling fan, hose and connections Your vehicle employs an electric cooling fan which is thermostatically controlled to operate when the engine coolant reaches a specific temperature. If the radiator cooling fan does not operate even when the engine coolant temperature gauge exceeds the normal operating range, the cooling fan circuit may be defective. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary. If the fuse is not blown, have the cooling system checked by your SUBARU dealer.
If frequent addition of coolant is necessary, there may be a leak in the engine cooling system. It is recom- mended that the cooling system and connections be checked for leaks, damage, or looseness.

Air cleaner element
The air cleaner element functions as a filter screen. When the element is perforated or removed, engine wear will be excessive and engine life shortened.
The air cleaner element is a viscous type. It is unnec- essary to clean or wash the element.
Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner element removed. The air cleaner element not only filters intake air but also stops flames if the engine backfires. If the air cleaner element is not installed when the engine backfires, you could be burned.
Replacing the air cleaner element Replace the air cleaner element according to the maintenance schedule in the “Warranty and Mainte- nance Booklet”. Under extremely dusty conditions, re- place it more frequently. It is recommended that you always use genuine SUBARU parts.

Automatic transmission fluid
Checking the fluid level The automatic transmission fluid expands largely as its temperature rises; the fluid level differs according to fluid temperature. Therefore, there are two different scales for checking the level of hot fluid and cold fluid on the dipstick.
Though the fluid level can be checked without warm- ing up the fluid on the “COLD” range, we recommend checking the fluid level when the fluid is at operating temperature. T Checking the fluid level when the fluid is hot Check the fluid level monthly. 1. Drive the vehicle several miles to raise the temper- ature of the transmission fluid up to normal operating temperature; 154 to 176° F (70 to 80° C) is normal. 2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the park- ing brake. 3. First shift the selector lever in each position. Then shift it in the “P” position, and run the engine at idling speed.
