Safety/In Case of Emergency
Location of Spare Tire and Jack
The spare tire is located in the spare tire holder located under the rear of your 
vehicle. The holder has a hoist mechanism that can lower and raise the s\
pare tire. 
A jack and other maintenance tools, which are used to release the spare tire, are 
stored under the cargo floor. 
Emergency Towing Your All-Wheel Drive Vehicle
Since Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive distributes engine power to all\
 four 
wheels, improper towing will severely damage your AWD system. A flatbed truck 
is the only recommended way to properly transport your AWD vehicle. If towing is 
necessary, it is best done by your Subaru Retailer or a commercial towing service.
