belt and if there is any looseness,
cracks, wear or unusual noise on the
front side belt, contact your
SUBARU dealer.
Continuing to use the vehicle with
the belt outside of the specification
may cause the engine to malfunc-
tion and the above components to
malfunction.
To check the deflection of the front side
belt, place a straightedge (ruler) across
two adjacent pulleys (alternator pulley and
crank pulley) and apply a force of 22 lbf (98
N, 10 kgf) midway between the pulleys by
using a spring scale. The belt deflection
should be the amount specified. If the front
side belt is loose, cracked or worn, contact
your SUBARU dealer.

The rear side belt is a stretch-type belt,
therefore the deflection does not need to
be checked. If there are cracks or wear
confirmed on the belts and a squeaking
noise is heard from them, contact your
SUBARU dealer.
Manual transmission oilIt is not necessary to check the transmis-
sion oil level. Check that there are no
cracks, damage or leakage. However,
have the oil inspected by your SUBARU
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule in the“Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”. Consult your SUBARU
dealer for details.&Recommended grade and
viscosityEach oil manufacturer has its own base
oils and additives. Never use different
brands together. For details, refer to
“Manual transmission, front differential
and rear differential gear oil”F12-6.
Continuously variable trans-
mission fluidIt is not necessary to check the transmis-
sion fluid level. Check that there are no
cracks, damage or leakage. However,
have the fluid inspected by your SUBARU
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule in the“Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”. Consult your SUBARU
dealer for details.

Front differential gear oil
(CVT models) and rear differ-
ential gear oilIt is not necessary to check the gear oil
level. Check that there are no cracks,
damage or leakage. However, have the oil
inspected by your SUBARU dealer ac-
cording to the maintenance schedule in
the“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
Consult your SUBARU dealer for details.&Recommended grade and
viscosityEach oil manufacturer has its own base
oils and additives. Never use different
brands together. For details, refer to
“Manual transmission, front differential
and rear differential gear oil”F12-6.
CAUTION
Using a differential gear oil other
than the specified oil may cause a
decline in vehicle performance.
Power steering fluid (STI)&Checking the fluid levelThe power steering fluid expands greatly
as its temperature rises; the fluid level
differs according to fluid temperature.
Therefore, the reservoir tank has two
different checking ranges for hot and cold
fluids.
Check the power steering fluid level
monthly.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, and
stop the engine.
2. Check the fluid level of the reservoir
tank.
When the fluid is hot after the vehicle has
been run: Check that the oil level is
between“HOT MIN”and“HOT MAX”onthe surface of the reservoir tank.
When the fluid is cool before the vehicle is
run: Check that the oil level is between
“COLD MIN”and“COLD MAX”on the
surface of the reservoir tank.
3. If the fluid level is lower than the
applicable“MIN”line, add the recom-
mended fluid as necessary to bring the
level between the“MIN”and“MAX”line.
If the fluid level is extremely low, it may
indicate possible leakage. Consult your
SUBARU dealer for an inspection.
WARNING
Be careful not to burn yourself
because the fluid may be hot.
CAUTION
.When you add power steering
fluid, use only clean fluid, and
be careful not to allow any dirt
into the tank. And never use
different brands together.
.Be careful not to spill power
steering fluid when adding it. If
power steering fluid touches the
exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If
power steering fluid gets on the

*1: The indicated oil quantity is only a guideline. The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on the temperature and other
factors. Check the oil level after refilling the gearbox with oil.
*2: For more details about maintenance and service, refer to the indicated section.
*3: The vehicle is filled at the factory with this oil.
*4: You may use this type of manual transmission oil. However, using this type of oil will detract from driveability and fuel efficiency.
