3. Tighten the two bolts shown in the above drawing
by hand and confirm that the hard bed cover is mount-
ed correctly.
4. Take out the wheel nut wrench from the tool bag.
(Refer to “Jack and tools” section in chapter 9.) 5. Tighten the bolts using the wheel nut wrench. The
torque for tightening the bolts is 37 to 66 lbf·ft (50 to 90
N·m, 5 to 9 kgf·m). This torque is equivalent to apply-
ing approximately 39 to 69 lbs (18 to 32 kg) at the top
of the wheel nut wrench provided with your vehicle.
6. Close the front and rear se
ctions of the cover. (Re-
fer to “Opening and closing the hard bed cover” in this section.)
7. Put the wheel nut wrench back in the tool bag. (Re-
fer to “Jack and tools” section in chapter 9.)

1. Before placing the crossbar on the roof rails, make
sure that the T-30 torx® head screw is fully loosened
from each end support.
2. Spread the inner clamp and the end support as far
apart as possible.
3. With the front direction arrow label on the top right
side of the crossbar pointing toward the front of the ve-
hicle, carefully place the cro
ssbar across the top of the
vehicle so that the crossbar end supports rest on the
top of the roof rails 7 inches (180 mm) rearward in the
front radius of the roof rail.
4. Move the end support and inner clamp to hook un-
der the end of the roof rail on both sides and loosely
assemble the T-30 torx® head screw with the tool pro- vided into the threaded insert in the inner clamp on
each end of the crossbar.
NOTE
It may be necessary to start the inner clamp and
end support at the center of the roof rail for easier
installation, then move the crossbar forward. Use
care not to cross-thread the screw in the insert if it
has been removed.
5. Adjust the alignment of the crossbar on the roof
rails, and if available, use a T-30 torx® bit and torque
wrench and tighten the T-30 torx® head screws to 30
to 35 lbf·in (3.4 to 4.0 N·m, 0.35 to 0.41 kgf·m) of
torque (or tighten securely with the torx® wrench pro-
7 in (180 mm)

In case of emergency
9. Use the wheel nut wrench to securely tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque, following the tight-
ening order in the illustration. The torque for tightening
the nuts is 74 to 89 lbf·ft (100 to 120 N·m, 10 to 12
kgf·m). This torque is equivalent to applying approxi-
mately 88 to 110 lbs (40 to 50 kg) at the top of the
wheel nut wrench provided with your vehicle. Never
use your foot on the wheel nut wrench or a pipe exten-
sion on the wrench because you may exceed the
specified torque. Have the wheel nut torque checked
at the nearest automot
ive service facility.
T Storage of the flat tire
ySecure the flat tire in the cargo bed (with the
outer side of the wheel facing up) by using the
designated tire holding rod and retainer. If the
flat tire is not properly secured, it may fall out
and create a dangerous road hazard that could
lead to a serious accident. y Do not store the flat ti re under the floor. Do-
ing so could damage the underside of the vehi-
cle.
1. Take the tire holding rod and retainer out of the tool bag.
2. Remove the rubber cap from the cargo bed. Store
the rubber cap in a safe place. Pay attention not to
lose the rubber ca
p after removal.

Maintenance and service
– CONTINUED –
Aluminum wheelsAluminum wheels
Aluminum wheels can be scratched and damaged
easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their appear-
ance, performance, and safety. yWhen any of the wheels is removed and replaced
for tire rotation or to c hange a flat, always check the
tightness of the wheel nuts after driving approximately
600 miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to
the specified torque. y Never apply oil to the threaded parts, wheel nuts, or
tapered surface of the wheel. y Never let the wheel rub against sharp protrusions or
curbs. y Be sure to fit tire chains on uniformly and completely
around the tire, otherwise t he chains may scratch the
wheel. y When wheel nuts, balance weights, or the center
cap is replaced, be sure to replace them with genuine
SUBARU parts designed for aluminum wheels.

Washer fluid
Never use engine coolant as washer fluid be-
cause it could cause paint damage.
Check the level of the washer fluid at each fuel stop. If
the level is low, fill the fluid up to the neck of the reser- voir.
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield washer fluid
is unavailable use clean water.
In areas where water freezes in winter, use an anti-
