ECU SUBARU FORESTER 2010 SH / 3.G Quick Reference Guide

A BAlA n c e o f co m f o r t, Ut i l i t y An d cApA B i l i t y For 2010, we expanded upon our initial credo
– “Sports Utility Tough, Car Easy®.” The enhancements we’ve made are intended to provide you with more driving pleasure,
comfort, convenience, and security. The exterior boasts bold new styling. The interior provides enhanced comfort and function.
The cargo area has been designed to make even better use of the available room. The stronger body structure adds to passive
safety; stronger body structure combined with reduced vehicle weight makes for improved handling – a factor in active safety.
Forester for 2010 is the essence of Subaru. We look forward to providing you with a satisfying owner experience.
