TOWING YOUR ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SUBARU
Since Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive distributes power to all four wheels, improper
towing may damage your AWD system. The best way to tow your Legacy is with a flatbed
truck by your Subaru retailer or a commercial towing service.

ROOF RAIL CAPACITY
Cargo can be carried after securing a roof crossbar kit to the roof molding and installing
the appropriate carrying attachment. When installing the roof crossbar kit, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and make sure that the total weight of the crossbars, carrying
attachment, and cargo does not exceed the maximum load limit. The maximum total load
on the roof (including crossbars, carrying attachments and cargo) must not exceed
88 pounds.
For more information, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.
TRAILER TOWING CAPACITY
Your Subaru is neither designed nor intended to be used for trailer towing. Therefore, never
tow a trailer with your vehicle.
For more information, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Your Subaru has a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS). Individual tire pressure can be
found in the Combination Meter Display. Use the
“i” switch arrows to display the TPMS screen.
