When inspection or repair is
needed, always have it per-
formed by your SUBARU dealer.
.
Never touch, remove or disas-
semble the high voltage parts,
high voltage cable (orange) or
their connectors.

High voltage battery air intake
CAUTION
.
Do not cover the high voltage
battery air intake (located on the
left next to the rear seat) with
luggage or clothes. It is impor-

substances or objects be allowed
to enter the air intake. Please
advise passengers in this area to
use care around the air intake to
prevent any debris from entering.
Doing so may result in overheat-
ing or malfunctioning of the high
voltage battery.

In order to ensure waterproofing,
be sure to install the cargo area
flooring. Ensure that large
amounts of water do not enter
the cargo area. Doing so may
result in malfunction of the hy-
brid system including the high
voltage battery.
NOTE
Because the gasoline engine is the
main power source of this vehicle, it
cannot run without gasoline.
