Driving tips
&
Maintenance
If you use your vehicle to tow a trailer,
more frequent maintenance will be re-
quired due to the additional load. Refer to
the
section in
chapter 11.
Under no circumstances should a trailer
be towed with a new vehicle or a vehicle
with any new power train component
(engine, transmission, differential, wheel
bearings, etc.) for the first 1,600 km (1,000
miles) of driving.
&
Towing weight
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum towing
weight. Exceeding the maximum
towing weight could cause personal
injury and/or vehicle damage.
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.
&
Trailer hitches
CAUTION
Do not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, or other
system when installing a hitch or
other trailer towing equipment.
The use of genuine SUBARU trailer hitch
is recommended. A genuine SUBARU
hitches are available from your SUBARU
dealer.
Regularly check that the hitch mounting
bolts and nuts are tight.
&
Trailer safety chains
In case the trailer hitch connector or hitch
ball should break or become discon-
nected, the trailer could get loose and
create a traffic safety hazard.
For safety, always connect the towing
vehicle and trailer with trailer safety
chains. Pass the chains crossing each
other under the trailer tongue to prevent
the trailer from dropping onto the ground
in case the trailer tongue should discon-
nect from the hitch ball. Allow sufficient
slack in the chains taking tight-turn situa-
tions into account; however, be careful not
to let them drag on the ground.
For more information about the safety
chain connection, refer to the instructions
for your hitch and trailer.
&
Side mirrors
Many countries have regulations requiring
special outside mirrors when towing a
trailer. After hitching a trailer to your
vehicle, check that the standard side
mirrors provide a good rearward field of
view without significant blind spots. If
significant blind spots occur with the
vehicle
’
s standard side mirrors, use addi-
tional outside mirrors that conform with
