In Case of
Emergency
30Safety / In Case of EmergencyChild Restraint System
For maximum safety, first carefully read the LATCH system instructions from the device
manufacturer, as well as the installation instructions in your Owner’s Manual, to properly
install the LATCH compatible restraint system. Use the appropriate seatbelts or anchorages
provided in your vehicle. Children age 12 and under must properly occupy the rear seat at
all times.
Location of Spare Tire and Jack
A jack and other maintenance tools are stored
in the tool bucket in the center of the spare
tire, located in the trunk or cargo area.
Internal Child Safety
Trunk Release with
Self-Illuminating Handle (4-Door only)
In the event that children or adults become
locked inside the trunk, this luminescent
handle allows them to open the lid from inside
the trunk. To open, simply pull the yellow
handle downward as indicated by the arrow
on the handle, and then push up on the lid.
Towing Your All-Wheel Drive Vehicle
Since all-wheel drive distributes engine power to all four wheels, improper
towing will severely damage your AWD system. A flatbed truck is the only
recommended way to properly transport your AWD vehicle. If towing is
necessary, it is best done by your Subaru dealer or a commercial towing service.
Subaru Roadside Assistance
Subaru Roadside Assistance is free and standard on every 2011 Subaru vehicle.
Coverage is automatic; there are no forms to complete. Subaru Roadside
Assistance is available anytime during the 3-year/36,000-mile Subaru Lim\
ited
Warranty, whichever comes first.* A Subaru Roadside Assistance decal has
been affixed to the driver’s door window.
Subaru Roadside Assistance: 1-800-261-2155
Exclusions
Specifically excluded from Subaru Roadside Assistance coverage are service
requests or claims resulting from: accidents, vandalism, acts of God, violation of
any laws, or vehicle modifications not recommended by the manufacturer.
*See your dealer for details.
Child Safety Locks
The child safety locks are
located on the inside edges of
the rear doors. In the locked
position, the rear doors can only
be opened from the outside.

& Tire pressuresCheck and, if necessary, adjust the
pressure of each tire (including the spare)
at least once a month and before any long
journey.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the
tire pressures to the values shown on the
tire placard. For detailed information, refer
to“Tires and wheels” F11-23.
WARNING
Driving at high speeds with exces-
sively low tire pressures can cause
the tires to deform severely and to
rapidly become hot. A sharp in-
crease in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruction of
the tires. The resulting loss of
vehicle control could lead to an
accident.

& System operation
CAUTION
Do not touch the SRS airbag system
components with bare hands right
after deployment. Doing so can
cause burns because the compo-
nents can be very hot as a result of
deployment.
The SRS airbags can function only when
the ignition switch is in the “ON”position.
When the SRS airbag(s) deploy(s), a
sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be
heard and some smoke will be released.
These occurrences are a normal result of
the deployment. This smoke does not
indicate a fire in the vehicle.Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
