Driving tips/Trailer towing
1)
Left turn
2)
Right turn
.
Backing up with a trailer is difficult and
takes practice. When backing up with a
trailer, never accelerate or steer rapidly.
When turning back, grip the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand and turn it to
the left for a left turn, and turn it to the right
for a right turn.
.
If the ABS warning light illuminates
while the vehicle is in motion, stop towing
the trailer. We recommend that you have
repairs performed immediately by your
nearest SUBARU dealer.
!
Driving on grades
.
Before going down a steep hill, slow
down and shift into lower gear (if neces-
sary, use 1st gear) in order to utilize the
engine braking effect and prevent over-
heating of your vehicle
’
s brakes. Do not
make sudden downshifts.
.
When driving uphill in hot weather, the
air conditioner may turn off automatically
to protect the engine from overheating.
.
When driving uphill in hot weather, pay
attention to the following indicators be-
cause the engine and transmission are
relatively prone to overheating.
–
Temperature gauge
–
AT OIL TEMP warning light (CVT
models)
.
If any of the following conditions occur,
immediately turn off the air conditioner and
stop the vehicle in the nearest safe
location. Refer to
“
9-2 and
–
Temperature gauge needle ap-
proaches the OVERHEAT zone. Refer
to

nates (CVT models). Refer to
TEMP warning light (CVT models)
.
For CVT models, avoid using the
accelerator pedal to stay stationary on
an uphill slope instead of using the
parking brake or foot brake. That may
cause the transmission fluid to overheat.
.
For CVT models, place the select lever
as follows.

Parking on a grade
Always block the wheels under both
vehicle and trailer when parking. Apply
the parking brake. You should not park on
a hill or slope. If parking on a hill or slope
cannot be avoided, you should take the
following steps:
1. Apply the brakes and hold the pedal
down.
2. Have someone place wheel blocks
under both the vehicle and trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel blocks are in place,
release the regular brakes slowly until the
blocks absorb the load.
4. Apply the regular brakes and then
apply the parking brake; slowly release
the regular brakes.
5. Shift into 1st or reverse gear (MT
models) or
“
P
”
position (CVT models)
and shut off the engine.
