Gearshifts can be performed using theselect lever.
Shift to the next-higher gear by brieflypushing the select lever toward the“+”end of the manual gate.
Shift to the next-lower gear by brieflypulling the select lever toward the“!”end of the manual gate.
NOTE
Pleaseread the following points care-fully and bear them in mind when usingthe manual mode.
.When the temperature of the engineoil is higher than normal, warningbeeps are emitted and the shift positionindicator shows“!”. If these warningsare issued, deselect the manual modeto protect the engine from damage.
.The transmission does not automa-tically shift up in the manual mode.Perform gearshifts in accordance withroad conditions so that the tachometerneedle does not enter the red zone. Ifthe engine speed reaches a predeter-mined level, a fuel-cut function willoperate. Shift up if this happens. Also,the transmission may automaticallyshift up to protect the engine..If you attempt to shift down whenthe engine speed is too high, i.e., whena downshift would push the tachometerneedle beyond the red zone, beeps willbe emitted to warn you that the down-shift is not possible..If you attempt to shift up when thevehicle speed is too low, the transmis-sion will not respond..You can perform a skip-shift (forexample, from 4th to 2nd) by operatingthe select lever twice in rapid succes-sion..The transmission automatically se-lects 1st gear when the vehicle stopsmoving..If the temperature of the automatictransmission fluid becomes too high,the“AT OIL TEMP”warning light willilluminate and upshifts to 5th gear willnot be possible. Immediately stop thevehicle in a safe place and let theengineidle until the warning light turns
off.
&Driving tips
.On a road surface where there is a riskof wheelspin (for example, a snow- orgravel-covered road), you can pull awayfrom a standstill safely and easily by firstselecting the 2nd gear of the manualmode.
.Always apply the foot or parking brakewhen thevehicle is stopped in the“D”or“R”position.
.Always set the parking brake whenparking your vehicle. Do not hold thevehicle withonly the transmission.
.Do not keep the vehicle in a stationaryposition on an uphill grade by using the“D”position. Usethe brake instead.
.The engine may, on rare occasions,knock when the vehicle rapidly acceler-ates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.This phenomenon does not indicate aproblem.
.A slight reduction in output torque mayoccur before the engine warms up.

1) 6 in (150 mm)
4. Install the front crossbar so that thecrossbar end supports are located ap-proximately 6 in (150 mm) rearward fromthe joints between the roof rails and thefront roof rail supports.
1) Lower clamp2) T-30 torx®head screw
5. Tighten the lower clamps onto thecrossbar. Using a torque wrench, looselytighten the T-30 torx®head screws.
NOTE
It may be necessary to squeeze thelower clamp and the end supporttogether to compress the pads andgaina better alignment of the pieceswhile trying to start the screw. Use carenot to cross-thread the screw in theinsert.
6. Adjust the alignment of the crossbaron the roof rails, and if available, use a T-30 torx®bit and torque wrench and tightenthe T-30 torx®headscrews to 30 to 35lbf·in (3.4 to 4.0 N·m, 0.35 to 0.41 kgf·m) oftorque (or tighten securely with the torx®
wrench provided).

and pull it through the center of thetemporary spare tire.
9. After the temporary spare tire isremoved from the cable, the cable mustbe wound up completely by turning thehoist nut shaft clockwise until you hear aclicking sound. Also visually inspect thecable to make certain that there is nolonger any slack present.
WARNING
.Do not use the extension whenturning the wheel nuts. If you did,you would not be able to achievesufficient tightening torque. Thewheel nuts could then comeloose, resulting in a seriousaccident.
.When using the spare tire hoist:
After the temporary spare tire isremoved from the cable, wind thecable up completely until theretainer at end of the cable sitsagainst the underside of thevehicle. Driving with the cablenot retracted fully could result indamage to the adjacent underfloor partsand lead to a seriousaccident.
.The spare tire holder is designedto carry only the following kindsof tires.
–the temporaryspare tire thatcame with your vehicle
–a full-size flat tire
A full size flat tire should bestowed in the spare tire holderin an emergency only. After hav-ing the full-sizeflat tire repaired,immediately swap it with thetemporary spare tire.
Never stow a full-size tire that isnot flat in the spare tire holder.Doing so can result in damage toadjacent under floor parts andcan lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
When using the spare tire hoist:
Do not use air tools or power toolsto turn the spare tire hoist shaft end.If you do, it could result in severemechanical damage to the spare tirehoist.
&Re-storage of spare tire
1. Turn the spare tire hoist shaft endcounterclockwise with the wheel nutwrench to loosen the cable sufficientlyenough to allow the cable end retainer gothrough center hole of the temporaryspare tire.
2. Insert the retainer through the centerhole of the temporary tire (with the outside

WARNING
Do not use oil or grease on thewheel studs or nuts when the sparetire is installed. This could cause thenuts to become loose and lead to anaccident.
15. Turn the jack handle counterclockwiseto lower the vehicle.
CAUTION
There are 2 types of wheel nutwrenches that apply to differentlengths.
For models with silver-colored alu-minumwheels, the 10.8-inch (275mm) wheel nut wrench is equippedas a maintenance tool. And formodels with optional chrome-fin-ished wheels, the 13.2-inch (335mm) wheel nut wrench is equippedas well. Confirm the equipped wheelnut wrench type when you replace atire. If the wheel nut wrench is thedifferent type, it cannot be tightenedto the specified torque.
1) The length of the wheel nut wrench
16. Confirm the length of the equippedwheel nut wrench and wheel nut tighten-ing torque. Refer to“Tires”F12-8.
17. Use the wheel nut wrench to securelytighten thewheel nuts to the specified
torque, following the tightening order in theillustration.
Never use your foot on the wheel nutwrench or a pipe extension on the wrenchbecause you may exceed the specifiedtorque. Have the wheel nut torquechecked at the nearest automotive servicefacility.
WARNING
Do not use the extension whenturning the wheel nuts. If you did,you would not be able to achievesufficient tightening torque. Thewheel nuts could then come loose,resulting in a serious accident.

WARNING
.When replacing a tire, you mustuse a tire that is of the same size,circumference, speed symboland load index as the originaltires listed on the tire placard.Using tires of other sizes, cir-cumferences or constructionsmay result in severe mechanicaldamage to the drive train of yourvehicle and may affect ride,handling, braking, speedometer/odometer calibration, and clear-ance betweenthe body and tires.It also may be dangerous andlead to loss of vehicle control.
.You must install four tires that areof the same size, circumference,construction, manufacturer,brand(tread pattern), degree ofwear, speed symbol and loadindex. Mixing tires of differenttypes, sizes or degrees of wearcan result in damage to thevehicle’spowertrain.Useofdifferent types or sizes of tirescan also dangerously reducecontrollability and braking per-formance and can lead to anaccident.
.Use only radial tires. Do not use
radial tires together with beltedbias tires and/or bias-ply tires.Doing so can dangerously re-duce controllability, resulting inan accident.
&Wheel replacement
When replacing wheels due, for example,to damage, make sure the replacementwheels match the specifications of thewheels that are fitted as standard equip-ment. Replacement wheels are availablefrom SUBARUdealers.
WARNING
Use only those wheels that arespecified for your vehicle. Wheelsnot meeting specifications couldinterfere with brake caliper opera-tion and may cause the tires to rubagainst the wheel well housing dur-ing turns. The resulting loss ofvehicle control could lead to anaccident.
Aluminum wheels
.Aluminum wheels can be scratchedand damaged easily. Handle them care-fully to maintain their appearance, perfor-mance, and safety.
.When any of the wheels are removedand replaced for tire rotation or to changea flat tire, always check the tightness ofthe wheel nuts after driving approximately600 miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose,tighten it to the specified torque.–For the wheel nut tightening torque,refer to“Tires”F12-8.–For the wheel nut tightening proce-dure, refer to“Changing a flat tire”F9-6..Never apply oil to the threaded parts,wheel nuts, or tapered surface of thewheel.
.Never let the wheel rub against sharpprotrusions or curbs.
.When wheel nuts, balance weights, orthe center cap is replaced, be sure toreplace them with genuine SUBARU partsdesigned for the specific wheel.

13-10Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
.To maximize the life of each tire
and ensure that the tires wear
uniformly, it is best to rotate the
tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).
For information about the tire rota-
tion order, refer to“Tire rotation”
F11-26.Replace any damaged or
unevenly worn tires at the time of
rotation. After tire rotation, adjust
the tire pressures and make sure
the wheel nuts are correctly tigh-
tened. For information about the
tightening torque and tightening
sequence for the wheel nuts, refer
to“Flat tires”F9-6.
&Vehicle load limit–how to
determine
The load capacity of your vehicle is
determined by weight, not by avail-
able cargo space. The load limit of
your vehicle is shown on the
vehicle placard attached to the
driver’ssideB-pillar.Locatethe
statement“The combined weight
of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs”
on your vehicle’s placard.
The vehicle placard also shows
seating capacity of your vehicle.
The total load capacity includes the
total weight of driver and all pas-
sengers and their belongings, any
cargo, any optional equipment such
as a trailer hitch, roof rack or bike
carrier, etc., and the tongue load of
a trailer. Therefore cargo capacity
can be calculated by the following
method.
Cargo capacity = Load limit!(total
weight of occupants + total weight
of optional equipment + tongue
load of a trailer (if applicable))
For information about vehicle load-
ing, refer to“Loading your vehicle”
F8-12.
For information about towing capa-
city and weight limits, refer to
“Trailer towing”F8-21.
!Calculating total and load ca-
pacities varying seating con-
figurations
Calculate the available load capa-
city as shown in the following
examples.
Example 1A
Vehicle capacity weight of the
vehicle is 1,157 lbs (525 kg), which
is indicated on the vehicle placard
with the statement“The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed 525 kg or
1,157 lbs”.
