Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
For U.S.A. The following information has been compiled accord- ing to Code of Federal Regulations “Title 49, Part 575”.
Uniform tire quality grading stan- dards
This information indicates the relative performance of passenger car tires in the area of treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. This is to aid the consum- er in making an informed choice in the purchase of tires. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
The quality grades apply to new pneumatic tires for use on passenger cars. However, they do not apply to deep tread, winter type snow tires, space-saver or temporary use spare tires, tires with nominal rim diam- eters of 12 inches or less, or to some limited produc- tion tires.
Requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service prac- tices and differences in road characteristics and cli- mate.
Traction AA, A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
All passenger car tires must confirm to Federal Safety
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based
13-2
on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hy- droplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
sible tire failure.
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
Temperature A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of perfor- mance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfor- mance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
The temperature grade for this tire is estab- lished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and pos-

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
Reporting safety defects (USA)
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause in-
jury or death, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin-
istration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying
Subaru of America, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may
open an investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between you, your
dealer, or Subaru of America, Inc. To con-
tact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto
Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393
(or 366-0123 in the Washington D.C. area)
or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of
Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.
You can also obtain other information about
motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

GAS STATION REFERENCE
Fuel: (cid:0) 2.5 Liter models Use only unleaded gasoline with an octane rat- ing of 87 AKI or higher. (cid:0) 2.5 Liter (Turbo) models Use premium unleaded gasoline with an oc- tane rating of 91 AKI or higher. If premium un- leaded gasoline is not available, regular un- leaded gasoline with octane rating of 87 AKI or higher may be temporarily used. For optimum engine performance and driveability, it is rec- ommended that you use premium grade un- leaded gasoline. Fuel octane rating This octane rating is the average of the Re- search Octane and Motor numbers and is com- monly referred to as the Anti Knock Index
(AKI). Refer to “Fuel” section in this manual.
Fuel capacity: 15.9 US gal (60 liters, 13.2 Imp gal)
Engine oil: Use only API classification SL with the words “ENERGY CONSERVING” and the New API certification mark (starburst mark) displayed on the container (ILSAC GF-3).
Engine oil capacity: 4.2 US qt (4.0 liters, 3.5 Imp qt)
Cold tire pressure: See the label located under the driver’s door latch.
