All AWD models except
OUTBACK
Your AWD vehicle is neither a conven-
tional off-road vehicle nor an all terrain
vehicle. It is a passenger car designed
primarily for on-road use. The AWD
feature gives it some limited off-road
capabilities in situations in which driving
surfaces a relatively level, obstruction-free
and otherwise similar to on-road driving
conditions. Operating it under other than
those conditions could subject the vehicle
to excessive stress which might result in
damage not eligible for repair under
warranty. If you do take your SUBARU
off road, you should review the common
sense precautions in the next section
(applicable to the OUTBACK) for general
guidance. But please keep in mind that
your vehicle
’
s off-road capabilities are
more limited than those of the OUTBACK.
Never attempt to drive through pools and
puddles, or roads flooded with water.
Water entering the engine air intake or
the exhaust pipe or water splashing onto
electrical parts may damage your vehicle
and may cause it to stall.

OUTBACK
Because of the AWD feature and higher
ground clearance, your SUBARU can be
driven on ordinary roads or off-road. But
please keep in mind that an AWD
SUBARU is a passenger car and is
neither a conventional off-road vehicle
nor an all-terrain vehicle. If you do take
your SUBARU off-road, certain common
sense precautions such as the following
should be taken:
.
Make certain that you and all of your
passengers are wearing seatbelts.
.
Carry some emergency equipment,
such as a towing rope or chain, a shovel,
wheel blocks, first aid kit and cell phone or
citizens band radio.
