This indicator light comes on when the ignition switch is turned ON
and goes out about 6 seconds after the engine has started. It comes on when the VDC system is deactivated (by operating “VDC
OFF” switch or in the standby state).
NOTE The light may stay on for a while after the engine has been
started, especially in cold weather. This does not indicate the exis- tence of a problem. The light should go out as soon as the enginehas warmed up. The “VDC OFF ” indicator light comes on when the engine has de-
veloped a problem and the CHECK ENGINE warning light is on.
The VDC system is probably faulty under any of the following conditions. Have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. The VDC OFF indicator light does not come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position.
The light does not go out even after several minutes have passed (the
engine has warmed up) after the engine has been started. Security system status indicator light (if equipped)

Seek tuning (SEEK)
If the Tuning dial ’s outer tuner is turned for longer than half of a se-
cond, the radio will begin to automatically search for receivable fre-
quencies and will stop at the first one found. This function may not be
available, however, when radio signals are weak. In such a situation,
perform manual tuning to select the desired station. Scan tuning (SCAN)
Turn the tuning dial inner tuner to change the radio to the SCAN
mode. In this mode, the radio scans through the radio band until astation is found. The radio will stop at the station for five seconds
while displaying the frequency, after which scanning will continue until
the entire band has been scanned.
Turn the tuning dial ’s inner tuner again to cancel the SCAN mode and
to stop on any displayed frequency.
Scan tuning may not function properly if the station reception is weak-
ened by distance from the station or proximity to tall buildings andhills. Preset tuning
Press any one of the preset buttons to select the corresponding, pre-
viously-registered radio station. The LED at the top of that button will
turn on. n Manual preset
Use the tuning dial to select the radio station which you wish to
register. Choose the preset button to which you wish to assign that station
and press it continuously for a period of more than 2 seconds. When
the radio station has been successfully registered, the display will
flash the corresponding radio frequency on and off once. NOTE Each preset button can be used to store both an FM station
and an AM station. If the power supply is interrupted by disconnection of the bat-
tery, memory presets will be cleared and will be required to be re-input.

8. Connect the hitch wire harness ’s black four –pin wire connector to
the towing trailer ’s wire harness
HB8021BB
9. Confirm proper function of the hitch wire harness by individually
activating the brake, right turn signal, left turn signal, stop, and park-
ing lights on the trailer. NOTE Always disconnect the trailer wire harness before launching or retrieving a watercraft. When you do not tow a trailer
Remove the ball mount from the hitch receiver tube and insert the
receiver cover onto the hitch receiver tube. Place the dust cap over the four –pin connector of the hitch wire
harness to protect against possible damage. Occasionally lubricate terminals of the four –pin connector using
the terminal grease.

Connection of trailer lights to your vehicle’s electrical system requires
modifications to the vehicle ’s lighting circuit to increase its capacity
and accommodate wiring changes. To ensure the trailer lights are
connected properly, please consult your SUBARU dealer. Check for
proper operation of the turn signals, the brake lights and parkinglights each time you hitch up. n Tires
WARNING
Never tow a trailer when the temporary spare tire is used. The temporary spare tire is not designed to sustain the towing load.
Use of the temporary spare tire when towing can result in failureof the spare tire and/or less stability of the vehicle.
Make sure that all the tires on your vehicle are properly inflated. OUTBACK: The recommended cold tire pressure under trailer
towing conditions is indicated on the tire placard located under thedoor striker on the driver ’s side. Adjust the rear tire pressure to the
recommended pressure shown on the tire placard when the tires
are cold. Normal pressure should be maintained in the front tires.Other models: It is recommended to inflate the rear tires to 3 psi
(20 kPa, 0.2 kg/cm 2
) above their normal operating pressure when
the tires are cold. Normal pressure should be maintained in the
front tires.
Trailer tire condition, size, load rating and proper inflation pressure
should be in accordance with the trailer manufacturer ’s specifications.
In the event your vehicle gets a flat tire when towing a trailer, ask a
commercial road service to repair the flat tire.
If you carry a regular size spare tire in your vehicle or trailer as a pre-
caution against getting a flat tire, be sure that the spare tire is firmly
secured.
