Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip-
ment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for
equipment not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the SUBARU policy of continual product improvement,
we reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice and without
incurring any obligation to make changes on vehicles previously sold.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustration may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine
Approximately five to ten hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.
Accessories, spare parts and modification of your SUBARU
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for SUBARU
vehicles are currently available in the market. You should know that
SUBARU does not warrant these products and is not responsible for their
performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to,
or adverse effect they may have on, your SUBARU vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine SUBARU products.
Modification with non-genuine SUBARU products could affect its perfor-
mance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations.
In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification
may not be covered under warranty.
