. The SRS airbags deploy with consi der ab le sp eed an d force . Occupants who are out of proper position whe n th e SRS ai rbag deploys could suffer very serious injuries.
6 They could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent operation of the ve- hicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, the temperature in a closed ve- hicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or pos- sibly fatal injuries. . Help prevent children, adults or animals from locking themselves in the trunk.

8-2 Driving tips New vehicle break-in driving – the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km): .
exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, have the problem checked and corrected as soon as possible. If you must drive under these conditions, drive only with all windows fully open. . Keep the trunk lid (Legacy) or rear gate (Outback) closed while driving to prevent exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
8-4 Driving tips T o avoid damage to the catalytic conver- ter: . Use only unleaded gasoline. Even a small amount of leaded ga soline will damage the catalytic converter . . Never start the engine by pushing or pulling the vehicle. . Avoid racing the engine.
Driving tips for A WD vehicles W ARNING . Always maintain a safe driving speed according to the road and weather conditions in order to avoid having an accident on a sharp turn, during sudden brak- ing or under other similar condi- tions.

Do not use a combi nation of radial, belted bias or bias tires since it may cause dangerous handling characteristics and lead to an accident.
8-12 Driving tips Loading your vehicle W ARNING Never allow passengers to ride on a folded rear seatback, in the trunk or in the cargo area. Doing so may result in serious injury .
& V ehicle capacity weight The load capacity o f your vehicle is determined by weight, not by available cargo space. The maximum load you can carry in your vehicle is shown on the vehicle placard attached to the driver ’ s side door pillar.
8-14 Driving tips & Roof rails with integrated crossbars (Outback) 1) Integrated crossbars CAUTION . For cargo carrying purposes, the bars must be used as crossbars and be used together with the genuine SUBARU carrying at- tachment. The bars must never be used alone to carry cargo.
! How to use as crossbars CAUTION . Do not raise the bar higher than necessary . The base of the bar may be damaged. . Be careful not to contact the bars while sliding them. Otherwise, the bars may be scratched or the latch portions may be da- maged. .
8-16 Driving tips 1. Pull out the crossbars from the roof rail holders by pulling up the covers. 2. Slide the bars in the direction shown in the illustration. 3. Install the bars into the holders. 4. Make sure that the latches are fitted securely . T railer hitch (Outback — if equipped) W ARNING .

9-12 In case of emergency Engine overheating W ARNING Never attempt to remove the radia- tor cap until the engine has been shut off and has fully cooled down. When the engine is hot, the coolant is und er pre ssure. Removing the cap while th e engine is still hot could release a spray of boiling hot coolant, which could burn you very seriously .
procedures for safety . & T owing and tie-down hooks The towing hooks should be used only in an emergency (e.g., to free a stuck vehicle from mud, sand or snow). CAUTION . Use only the specified towing hooks and tie-down hooks. Never use suspension parts or other parts of the body for towing or tie-down purposes.
9-14 In case of emergency Rear towing hook: 1. T ake the towing hook out of the tool bucket and take the screwdriver out of the tool bucket. T ake the jack handle out of the trunk (Legacy) or cargo area (Out- back). 2. Pry off the cover on the rear bumper using a screwdriver , and you will find a threaded hole for attaching the towing hook.
Rear tie-down holes: 1) Rear tie-down hole The rear tie-down holes are located near each of the jack-up reinforcements. W ARNING Use the rear tie-down holes only for downward anchoring. If they are used to anchor the vehicle in any other direction, cables may slip out of the holes , po ssibly ca using a dangerous situation.
9-16 In case of emergency turned o ff, it wi ll tak e g reate r effort to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel. CAUTION . If transmission failure occurs, transport your vehicle on a flat- bed truck. . Do not run the engine while being towed using this method.

Tire information & Tire labeling Many markings (e.g. T ire size, T ire Identification Number or TIN) are placed on the sidewall of a tire by tire manufacturers.
Example: (6) Load Index: A numerical code which specifies the maximum load a tire can carry at the speed indicated by its speed symbol, at maximum inflation pressure.
13-4 Consumer information and Reporting safety defects ! Maximum load rating The load rating at the maximum permissible weight load for this tire. For example, “ MAX. LOAD 615 kg (1,356 LBS) @ 350 kpa (51 PSI) MAX. PRESS. ” W ARNING Maximum load rating applies only to the tire, not to the vehicle.
& Recommended tire inflation pressure ! Recommend ed cold tire inflation pressure Recommended cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle ’ s tires is as follows.
