Safety features
cHi l d sAf e t y lo c k sChild safety locks are located on the rear inside edges of
the rear doors. In the locked position, rear doors can only be
opened from the outside
.
seA tB e l t sTo fasten your seatbelt: adjust your seatback to the upright position
and position yourself an appropriate distance from the steering
wheel in order to maintain full vehicle control. Sit well back in the
seat. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until you hear a click.
The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position
best suited for your comfort. To unfasten your seatbelt: push the
button on the buckle. Seatbelts must be worn at all times.
cH i l d re s t r Ai n t sy s t e mFor maximum safety, first carefully read and follow the
instructions from the device manufacturer, as well as the
installation instructions in your Owner’s Manual, to properly
install the restraint system using the appropriate seatbelts or
anchorages provided in your vehicle. Children ages 12 and
under must properly occupy the rear seat at all times.
ti r e pr e s s Ur e mo n i t o r i n g sy s t e m (tpms)When the Tire Pressure Monitoring System detects that one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated, the warning light
will blink, then illuminate steadily. You should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure
as soon as possible. If the tire pressure is set in a warm
garage and the vehicle is moved to a cold temperature,
the tire pressure drops, which could cause the tire pressure
warning lamp to illuminate. Under these circumstances,
increase the tire pressure by 1 psi for every 10˚F. Tire pressure should be checked after tires
cool down from driving.
to w i n g yo Ur Al l-wHe e l dr i v e veH i c l eSince All-Wheel Drive (AWD) distributes engine power to all
four wheels, improper towing will severely damage your AWD
system. A flatbed truck is the best way to properly transport
your AWD vehicle. If towing is necessary, it is best done by
your SUBARU dealer or a commercial towing service.
