Where to go for service?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the highest possible condition, SUBARU
recommends that all repairs and service operations be carried out by autho-
rized SUBARU dealers or repairers or other duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessionals. For repairs and services covered by your warranty, we
recommend that you visit an authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, who will
use genuine SUBARU parts in repairing any difficulties you may encounter.
There can also be advantages in utilizing authorized SUBARU dealers or
repairers for non-warranty repairs and services, as members of the
SUBARU network will be able to expertly assist you with any difficulties you
may encounter.
Your SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional service department will perform all of the scheduled mainte-
nance on your vehicle - reliably and economically due to their experience
with SUBARU vehicles.

tioning system after use is normal.)
