NOTE
For the model with Auto Start Stop
system:
Auto Start Stop system will not operate
when towing a trailer. Refer to
&
Maintenance
If you use your vehicle to tow a trailer,
more frequent maintenance will be re-
quired due to the additional load. Refer to
Under no circumstances should a trailer
be towed with a new vehicle or a vehicle
with any new powertrain component (en-
gine, transmission, differential, wheel
bearings, etc.) for the first 1,600 km
(1,000 miles) of driving.
&
Towing weight
Before towing a trailer, we recommend
that you confirm the towing capacity and
ball coupling load with your nearest
SUBARU dealer or the vehicle registration
documents and make sure your trailer is
within the towing capacity.
The total trailer weight (trailer weight with
brakes plus its cargo weight) must never
exceed maximum towing weight.
Remember that the ball coupling load will
increase the load on the vehicle. Both the
maximum permissible weight (MPW) and
maximum permissible rear axle weight
(rear MPAW) must not be exceeded.
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum towing
weight. Exceeding the maximum
towing weight could cause personal
injury and/or vehicle damage.
!
Non-turbo models and diesel en-
gine models
The stated trailer weights are only valid for
elevations up to 1,000 m (3,250 ft) above
sea level. At higher altitudes, the engine
loses power as the elevation increases,
resulting in a reduction of vehicle towing
performance. Under these conditions, the
“
Maximum combined weight
”
should be
reduced by 10% per 1,000 m (3,250 ft) of
increased altitude. Please consider weight
before driving.
NOTE
The
“
Maximum combined weight
”
is
the sum of the
“
Maximum permissible
weight
”
(MPW) and the
“
Maximum
trailer weight
”
.
&
Trailer hitches
The use of a genuine SUBARU trailer
hitch is recommended. Genuine SUBARU
hitches are available from your SUBARU
dealer.
Regularly check that the hitch mounting
bolts and nuts are tight.
CAUTION
Do not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, or other
system when installing a hitch or
other trailer towing equipment.
&
When you do not tow a trailer
CAUTION
The housing should be kept dirt and
corrosion-free at the points of con-
tact. The surfaces only require
cleaning with a cloth. Grease or
other lubricants should never be
used.
.
If the hitch ball is a detachable type, the
dummy should be inserted while the ball is
uninstalled to prevent dirt.
.
When the ball is not used, store the ball
in the case or put the cap on.
