pulling the vehicle.

Avoid racing the engine.

the vehicle is moving.

Keep your engine tuned-up. If you feel
the engine running rough (misfiring, back-
firing or incomplete combustion), have
your vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized SUBARU dealer.

prevention treatment to the heat shield of
catalytic converter and the exhaust sys-
tem.
