Maintenance precautions
When maintenance and service are re-
quired, it is recommended that all work be
done by an authorized SUBARU dealer.
If you perform maintenance and service
by yourself, you should familiarize yourself
with the information provided in this
section on general maintenance and
service for your SUBARU.
Incorrect or incomplete service could
cause improper or unsafe vehicle opera-
tion. Any problems caused by improper
maintenance and service performed by
you are not eligible for warranty coverage.
WARNING
.
Always select a safe area when
performing maintenance on your
vehicle.
.
Always be very careful to avoid
injury when working on the vehi-
cle. Remember that some of the
materials in the vehicle may be
hazardous if improperly used or
handled, for example, battery
acid.
.
Your vehicle should only be ser-
viced by persons fully competent
to do so. Serious personal injury
may result to persons not experi-
enced in servicing vehicles.
.
Always use the proper tools and
make certain that they are well
maintained.
.
Never get under the vehicle sup-
ported only by a jack. Always use
safety stands to support the
vehicle.
.
Never keep the engine running in
a poorly ventilated area, such as
a garage or other closed areas.
.
Do not smoke or allow open
flames around the fuel or battery.
This will cause a fire.
.
Because the fuel system is under
pressure, we recommend that
you have your SUBARU dealer
perform the replacement of the
fuel filter.
.
Wear adequate eye protection to
guard against getting oil or fluids
in your eyes. If something does
get in your eyes, thoroughly
wash them out with clean water.
.
Do not tamper with the wiring of
the SRS airbag system or seat-
belt pretensioner system, or at-
tempt to take its connectors
apart, as that may activate the
system or it can render it inop-
erative when it should be opera-
tive. NEVER use a circuit tester
for this wiring. If your SRS airbag
or seatbelt pretensioner needs
service, we recommend that you
consult your nearest SUBARU
dealer.

Do not spill engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid or any other

This may cause a fire.
