1. Power Steering Fluid Reservoir Check your power steering fluid level
monthly. The power steering fluid expands
greatly as its temperature rises and
the fluid level differs according to fluid
temperature. Therefore, the reservoir tank
has two different checking ranges for
hot and cold fluid. Please refer to your
Owner’s Manual for details.
2. Air Cleaner Element This element filters intake air. Follow the

until the engine has been shut off and has
fully cooled down. If steam is coming from
the engine compartment, turn the engine
off and move everyone away from the
vehicle until it cools. Please refer to your
Owner’s Manual for details. 4. Intercooler
The intercooler is positioned behind
the throttle body to cool intake air and
improve supercharging efficiency. (Intake
air passing through the turbocharger gets
very warm, which could result in lower
supercharging efficiency.) To prevent
damage to this important system, avoid
placing tools and other objects on
the intercooler.
5. Engine Oil Level Gauge Check the engine oil level at each fuel
stop. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
and insert it again. Pull it out and check
the oil level. If it’s below the lower level,
add oil to bring the level up to the
upper level. (Use only engine oil of the
recommended grade and viscosity.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual
for oil recommendations and other
important details.) 6. Engine Coolant Reservoir
Check your coolant level at each
fuel stop. Observe the coolant
level on the outside of the reservoir
while the engine is cool. If the level

a sealed container.
9. Battery When your vehicle does not start
due to a battery that has run down,
the vehicle may be jump-started by
connecting your battery to another
battery with jumper cables. Jump-starting is dangerous if
done incorrectly. Please refer
to your Owner’s Manual for
instructions. If you’re unsure
about how to jump-start your
vehicle, please consult a
competent mechanic.
10. Windshield Washer Tank It’s a good idea to check your washer fluid every time you stop
for fuel. If the level is low, fill the
windshield washer tank to the
neck of the reservoir with
windshield washer fluid. In cold
weather, use a freeze resistant
windshield washer fluid.
11. Main Fuse Box Your Impreza WRX has two fuse boxes. One is located under the
instrument panel, behind the
fuse box cover on the driver’s
seat side. The other is housed
in your engine compartment, as
shown here. Fuses are designed
to melt during an overload
situation in order to prevent
damage to the wiring harness and
electrical equipment. If any lights,
accessories or electrical controls
fail to operate properly, inspect
the corresponding fuse. If it has
blown, replace it in accordance
with the instructions in your
Owner’s Manual. The fuse puller
and spare fuses are located
in the main fuse box in the
engine compartment.

small amount of smoke will be released.
These occurrences are normal and not
harmful. This smoke does not indicate a
fire in the vehicle.
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been
activated, the seatbelt retractor remains
locked. Consequently, the seatbelt can not
be pulled out and retracted and therefore
must be replaced.NOTE. Seatbelt pretensioners are not de-
signed to activate in minor frontal
impacts, in side or rear impacts or in
roll-over accidents.
. The driver ’s seat and passenger ’s
seat pretensioners and frontal SRS
airbag operate simultaneously.
. Pretensioners are designed to func-
tion on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated,
both the driver ’s and front passenger ’s
seatbelt retractor assemblies must be
replaced only by an authorized
SUBARU dealer. When replacing seat-
belt retractor assemblies, use only
genuine SUBARU parts.
. If either front seatbelt does not
retract or cannot be pulled out due to
a malfunction or activation of the
pretensioner, contact your SUBARU
dealer as soon as possible. .
If the front seatbelt retractor assem-
bly or surrounding area has been
damaged, contact your SUBARU dealer
as soon as possible.
. When you sell your vehicle, we urge
you to explain to the buyer that it has
seatbelt pretensioners by alerting the
buyer to the contents of this section.
WARNING
. To obtain maximum protection,
the occupants should sit in an
upright position with their seat-
belts properly fastened. Refer to
“ Seatbelts ”F 1-11.
. Do not modify, remove or strike
the front seatbelt retractor as-
semblies or surrounding area.
This could result in accidental
activation of the seatbelt preten-
sioners or could make the sys-
tem inoperative, possibly result-
ing in serious injury. Seatbelt
pretensioners have no user-ser-
viceable parts. For required ser-
vicing of front seatbelt retractors
equipped with seatbelt preten-
sioners, see your nearest
SUBARU dealer.
. When discarding front seatbelt
retractor assemblies or scrap- ping the entire vehicle due to
collision damage or for other
reasons, consult your SUBARU
dealer.
&
System monitorsA diagnostic system continually monitors
the readiness of the seatbelt pretensioner
while the vehicle is being driven. The
seatbelt pretensioners share the control
module with the SRS airbag system.
Therefore, if any malfunction occurs in a
seatbelt pretensioner, the SRS airbag
system warning light will illuminate. For
details, refer to “SRS airbag system
monitors ”F 1-55.& System servicing

Maintenance and service
guard against getting oil or fluids
in your eyes. If something does
get in your eyes, thoroughly
wash them out with clean water.
. Do not tamper with the wiring of
the SRS airbag system or seat-
belt pretensioner system, or at-
tempt to take its connectors
apart, as that may activate the
system or it can render it inop-
erative. NEVER use a circuit
tester for this wiring.
If your SRS airbag or seatbelt
pretensioner needs service, con-
sult your nearest SUBARU deal-
er.
& Before checking or servicing
in the engine compartment
WARNING
. Always stop the engine and set
the parking brake firmly to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving.
