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 the
nearest SUBARU dealer.
!
Driving on grades
.
On vehicles equipped with a dual
range transmission, it is advisable to
select the LO position when starting the
vehicle at an upgrade.
.
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 water temperature gauge
pointer (for all vehicles) and AT OIL TEMP
warning light (for AT vehicles) since the
engine and transmission are relatively
prone to overheating under these condi-
tions. If the water temperature gauge
needle approaches the OVERHEAT zone
or the AT OIL TEMP warning light illumi-
nates, immediately switch off the air
conditioner and stop the vehicle at the
nearest safe place. Refer to the
“
Engine
overheating
”
section in chapter 9, and
“
Warning and indicator lights
”
section in
chapter 3.
NOTE
For AT vehicles not equipped with SI-
DRIVE, the temperature of engine cool-
ant is less likely to rise to the OVER-
HEAT zone in the
“
D
”
position than in
the manual mode position.
.
If your vehicle has an automatic trans-
mission, 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.
!
Parking on a grade
Always block the wheels under both
vehicle and trailer when parking. Apply
the parking brake firmly. You should not
park on a hill or slope. But 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 (manual
transmission) or
“
P
”
(automatic transmis-
sion) and shut off the engine.
