Maintenance and care
WARNING
■Pre-driving check
Check that the engine hood is fully closed and locked.
If the engine hood is not locked properly it may open while the vehicle is in
motion and cause an accident, which may result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
■When opening the engine hood
●Do not lift up or operate the wipers. Doing so may cause the engine hood
and wipers to contact, scratching the engine hood.
●Use caution when opening the engine hood in windy weather as it may
close suddenly in strong wind.
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine SUBARU products to
the engine hood. Such additional weight on the engine hood may cause it
to be too heavy to be supported by the supporting rod when opened.
■When closing the engine hood
Do not apply excessive weight or force when closing the engine hood as
doing so may result in damage.

408 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Overheating
If you observe the following, your vehicle may be overheating.
●The engine coolant temperature gauge enters the red zone or a loss of
power is experienced.
●Steam is coming from under the engine hood.
WARNING
■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the engine
hood of your vehicle
●If steam is seen coming from under the engine hood, do not open the
engine hood until the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may
be very hot, causing serious injury such as burns.
●Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and other belts while the
engine is running.
●Do not loosen the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
Add engine coolant if neces-
sary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if engine coolant is
unavailable. (oP. 420)
Have the vehicle checked at the nearest SUBARU dealer as soon
as possible.
