If a large amount of coolant leaks,
immediately contact your
SUBARU dealer.
The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.
●Vehicles with a monochrome multi-information display: The
engine coolant temperature gauge ( →P. 199) enters the red
zone or a loss of engine power is experienced (for example, the

Radiator cap
Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check for
coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on
immediately after a cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating by
checking the fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these,
turn the air conditioning system on and off repeatedly.
(The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fans are not operating: Stop the engine immediately and contact your SUBARU
dealer.
If the fans are operating: Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest SUBARU dealer.

For owners
Système avancé d'airbags frontaux SUBARUVotre véhicule est équipé d'un système avancé d'airbags frontaux
SUBARU, conforme aux nouvelles conditions des airbags frontaux
avancés dans la norme Federal Motor Vehicle Safety amendée
(FMVSS) No. 208.
Le système avancé d'airbags frontaux SUBARU détermine
automatiquement la force de déploiement de l'airbag frontal SRS du
conducteur au moment du déploiement, et également l'activation ou
non de l'airbag frontal SRS du passager avant et, si activé, la force
de déploiement de l'airbag SRS frontal et le moment de déploiement.
Votre véhicule a des autocollants de sécurité sur les pare-soleils du
conducteur et du passager avant commençant par les mots “EVEN
WITH ADVANCED AIR BAGS” et une étiquette attachée au
couvercle de la boîte à gants commençant par les mots “Even with
Advanced Air Bags”. Assurez-vous de lire avec attention les
instructions sur les autocollants de sécurité et les étiquettes.
Attachez toujours votre ceinture de sécurité. Le système avancé
d'airbags frontaux SUBARU est un système de retenue en
complément qui doit être utilisé en combinaison avec une ceinture de
sécurité. Tous les occupants doivent mettre leur ceinture de sécurité
ou être placés dans des sièges de sécurité enfant adaptés.
L'airbag frontal SRS du conducteur est stocké dans la partie centrale
du volant. L'airbag frontal SRS du passager avant est stocké près du
haut du tableau de bord sous une marque “SRS AIRBAG”.
Dans une collision moyenne à sévère, les composants suivant se
déploient.
● Airbag SRS frontal pour le conducteur
● Airbag SRS frontal pour le passager avant
Ces composants complètent les ceintures de sécurité en réduisant
l'impact à la tête et à la poitrine de l'occupant.
