Operation during Cold
Weather
Carry some emergency equipment, such
as a window scraper, a bag of sand,
flares, a small shovel and jumper cables.
Check the battery and cables. Cold
temperatures reduce battery capacity.
The battery must be in good condition to
provide enough power for cold winter
starts.
It normally takes longer to start the engine
in very cold weather conditions. Use an
engine oil of a proper grade and viscosity
for cold weather. Using heavy summer oil
will make it harder to start the engine.
Keep the door locks from freezing by
squirting them with deicer or glycerin.
Forcing a frozen door open may damage

around the door. If the door is frozen, use
hot water to melt the ice, and afterwards
thoroughly wipe the water away.

contains an antifr eeze solution. Do not
use engine antifreeze or other substitutes

passengers should fasten their
seatbelts before st arting to drive
in order to minimize the chance of
serious injury or death. Do not make sharp turns or quick
maneuvers unless absolutely
unavoidable. Such actions are
dangerous as you may lose
control, possibly resulting in a
rollover which could cause death
or serious injury.
Whenever strong crosswinds are
present, slow do wn sufficiently to
maintain control of your vehicle. Never to drive through pools and
puddles, or roads flooded with
water. Water entering the engine
air intake or the exhaust pipe or
water splashing onto electrical
parts may damage your vehicle
and may cause it to stall. In this
case, contact your SUBARU

of its depth, it can wash away the
ground from under your tires,
resulting in possible loss of trac-
tion and even vehicle rollover.
CAUTION
After driving on gravel roads or
rough roads, check the undercar-
riage of the vehicle body for any
damage, deformation, or paint
removal. If you notice any irregulari-
ties, contact a SUBARU dealer for
an inspection as soon as possible.
