1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and stop the engine. 2. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and insert it again. 3. Be sure the dipstick is correctly inserted until it stops with the graphic symbol on its top appearing as shown in the illustra- tion. 4. Pull out the dipstick again and check the oil level on it. If it is below the lower level, add oil to bring the level up to the upper level.


CAUTION


Use only engine oil with the recommended grade and viscosity.


If you check the oil level just after stopping the engine, wait a few min- utes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan before checking the level. To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add any additional oil above the upper level when the engine is cold.


The dipstick has a notch above the upper level. Just after driving or while the engine is warm, the engine oil level reading may be in a range between the upper level and the notch mark. This is caused by thermal expansion of the engine oil.

12. Reinstall the cover under the oil filter. 13. Pour engine oil through the filler neck.


Oil capacity (Guideline):


4.2 US qt (4.0 liters, 3.5 Imp qt)


The oil quantity indicated above is only a guideline. The necessary quantity of oil depends on the quantity of oil that has been drained. The quantity of drained oil differs slightly depending on the tempera- ture of the oil and the time the oil is left flowing out. After refilling the engine with oil, therefore, you must use the dipstick to confirm that the level is correct. 14. Start the engine and make sure that no oil leaks appear around the filter’s rubber seal and drain plug. 15. Run the engine until it reaches the normal operating temperature. Then stop the engine and wait a few minutes to allow the oil drain back. Check the oil level again and if necessary, add more engine oil.


B Recommended grade and viscosity


CAUTION


Use only engine oil with the recommended grade and viscosity.


Oil grade: ILSAC GF-3, which can be identified with the new API


certification mark (Starburst mark) or API classification SL with the words “ENERGY CON- SERVING” (if you cannot obtain the oil with SL grade, you may use SJ grade “ENERGY CONSERVING” oil).


11


These recommended oil grades can be identified by looking for either or both of the following marks displayed on the oil container.

capabilities


In choosing an oil, you want the proper quality and viscosity, as well as one that will add to fuel economy. The following table lists the rec- ommended viscosities and applicable temperatures. When adding oil, different brands may be used together as long as they are the same API classification and SAE viscosity as those rec- ommended by SUBARU.


Engine oil viscosity (thickness) affects fuel economy. Oils of lower vis- cosity provide better fuel economy. However, in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is required to properly lubricate the engine.

Cooling system


WARNING


Never attempt to remove the radiator cap until the engine has been shut off and has cooled down completely. Since the coolant is under pressure, you may suffer serious burns from a spray of boiling hot coolant when the cap is removed.


CAUTION


D The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a high quality, corrosion-inhibiting, year-around coolant which provides protection against freezing down to –33°F (–36°C). For adding, use genuine SUBARU coolant or an equivalent: a mixture of 50% soft water and 50% ethylene-glycol basis coolant. Use of improp- er coolants may result in corrosion in the cooling system. It is im- portant to maintain protection against freezing and corrosion, even if freezing temperatures are not expected. Never mix differ- ent kinds of coolant. D Do not splash the engine coolant over painted parts. The alco- hol contained in the engine coolant may damage the paint sur- face.


B Hose and connections Your vehicle employs an electric cooling fan which is thermostatically

controlled to operate when the engine coolant reaches a specific tem- perature. If the radiator cooling fan does not operate even when the engine coolant temperature gauge exceeds the normal operating range, the cooling fan circuit may be defective. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary. If the fuse is not blown, have the cooling system checked by your SUBARU dealer. If frequent addition of coolant is necessary, there may be a leak in the engine cooling system. It is recommended that the cooling system and connections be checked for leaks, damage, or looseness.

B Checking the fluid level The automatic transmission fluid expands largely as its temperature rises; the fluid level differs according to fluid temperature. Therefore, there are two different scales for checking the level of hot fluid and cold fluid on the dipstick.


Though the fluid level can be checked without warming up the fluid on the “COLD” range, we recommend checking the fluid level when the fluid is at operating temperature.


n Checking the fluid level when the fluid is hot Check the fluid level monthly. 1. Drive the vehicle several miles to raise the temperature of the transmission fluid up to normal operating temperature; 158 to 176°F (70 to 80°C) is normal. 2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake. 3. First shift the selector lever in each position. Then shift it in the “P” position, and run the engine at idling speed.

Tires and wheels


J Types of tires You should be familiar with type of tires present on your vehicle.


B All season tires The factory-installed tires on your new vehicle are all season tires. All season tires are designed to provide an adequate measure of trac- tion, handling and braking performance in year-round driving includ- ing snowy and icy road conditions. However all season tires do not offer as much traction performance as winter (snow) tires in heavy or loose snow or on icy roads. All season tires are identified by “ALL SEASON” and/or “M+S” (Mud & Snow) on the tire sidewall.


B Summer tires Summer tires are high-speed capability tires best suited for highway driving under dry conditions. Summer tires are inadequate for driving on slippery roads such as on snow-covered or icy roads. If you drive your vehicle on snow-covered or icy roads, we strongly recommend the use of winter (snow) tires. When installing winter tires, be sure to replace all four tires.


11-36


BAJA U.S.A..A2310BE–A


Maintenance and service


B Winter (snow) tires Winter tires are best suited for driving on snow-covered and icy roads. However winter tires do not perform as well as summer tires and all season tires on roads other than snow-covered and icy roads.


J Tire inspection Check on a daily basis that the tires are free from serious damage, nails, and stones. At the same time, check the tires for abnormal wear. Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately if you find any problem.


NOTE D When the wheels and tires strike curbs or are subjected to harsh treatment as when the vehicle is driven on a rough surface, they can suffer damage that cannot be seen with the naked eye. This type of damage does not become evident until time has passed. Try not to drive over curbs, potholes or on other rough surfaces. If doing so is unavoidable, keep the vehicle’s speed down to a walking pace or less, and approach the curbs as squarely as possible. Also, make sure the tires are not pressed against the curb when you park the vehicle. D If you feel unusual vibration while driving or find it difficult to steer the vehicle in a straight line, one of the tires and/or wheels may be damaged. Drive slowly to the nearest authorized SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected.


J Tire pressures and wear Maintaining the correct tire pressures helps to maximize the tires’ service lives and is essential for good running performance. Check and, if nec- essary, adjust the pressure of each tire (including the spare) at least once a month (for example, during a fuel stop) and before any long jour- ney.


Check the tire pressures when the tires are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the values shown on the tire placard. The tire placard is located on the door pillar on the driver’s side.

BAJA U.S.A..A2310BE–A


HB8042BA


Driving even a short distance warms up the tires and increases the tire pressures. Also, the tire pressures are affected by the ambient tempera- ture. It is best to check tire pressure outdoors before driving the vehicle.


When a tire becomes warm, the air inside it expands, causing the tire pressure to increase. Be careful not to mistakenly release air from a warm tire to reduce its pressure.


NOTE D The air pressure in a tire increases by approximately 4.3 psi (30
kPa, 0.3 kg/cm2) when the tire becomes warm. D The tires are considered cold when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or has been driven less than one mile (1.6
km).


WARNING


Do not let air out of warm tires to adjust pressure. Doing so will result in low tire pressure.


Incorrect tire pressures detract from controllability and ride comfort, and they cause the tires to wear abnormally.

D Abnormally high tire pressure (tread worn in center)


HSB013AA


Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire magnifies the effects of road-surface bumps and dips, possibly resulting in vehicle damage.


If the tire placard shows tire pressures for the vehicle when fully loaded and for the vehicle when towing a trailer, adjust the tire pressures to the values that match current loading conditions.


WARNING


Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires to deform severely and to rapidly become hot. A sharp increase in temperature could cause tread separation, and destruction of the tires. The resulting loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident.


J Wheel balance Each wheel was correctly balanced when your vehicle was new, but the wheels will become unbalanced as the tires become worn during use. Wheel imbalance causes the steering wheel to vibrate slightly at certain vehicle speeds and detracts from the vehicle’s straight-line stability. It can also cause steering and suspension system problems and abnormal tire wear. If you suspect that the wheels are not correctly balanced, have them checked and adjusted by your SUBARU dealer. Also have them adjusted after tire repairs and after tire rotation.

BAJA U.S.A..A2310BE–A


Maintenance and service


NOTE Loss of correct wheel alignment* causes the tires to wear on one side and reduces the vehicle’s running stability. Contact your SUBARU dealer if you notice abnormal tire wear.


* : The suspension system is designed to hold each wheel at a certain alignment (relative to the other wheels and to the road) for optimum straight-line stability and cornering performance.


J Wear indicators Each tire incorporates a tread wear indicator, which becomes visible when the depth of the tread grooves decreases to 0.063 in. (1.6 mm). A tire must be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread.


A) New tread B) Worn tread 1) Tread wear indicator


OM-H0231

WARNING


When a tire’s tread wear indicator becomes visible, the tire is worn beyond the acceptable limit and must be replaced immedi- ately. With a tire in this condition, driving at high speeds in wet weather can cause the vehicle to hydroplane. The resulting loss of vehicle control can lead to an accident.


NOTE For safety, inspect the tire tread regularly and replace the tires be- fore their tread wear indicators become visible.

J Tire rotation


OM-H0230


Tire wear varies from wheel to wheel. To maximize the life of each tire and ensure that the tires wear uniformly, it is best to rotate the tires every 7,500 miles (12,500 km). Rotating the tires involves switching the front and rear tires on the right-hand side of the vehicle and similarly switching the front and rear tires on the left-hand side of the vehicle. (Each tire must be kept on its original side of the vehicle.) Replace any damaged or unevenly worn tire at the time of rotation. After tire rotation, adjust the tire pressures and make sure the wheel nuts are correctly tightened. After driving approximately 600 miles (1,000 km), check the wheel nuts again and retighten any nut that has become loose.


J Tire replacement The wheels and tires are important and integral parts of your vehicle’s design; they cannot be changed arbitrarily. The tires fitted as standard equipment are optimally matched to the characteristics of the vehicle and were selected to give the best possible combination of running per- formance, ride comfort, and service life. It is essential for every tire to have a size and construction matching those shown on the tire placard and to have a speed symbol and load index matching those shown on the tire placard. Using tires of a non-specified size detracts from controllability, ride com- fort, braking performance, speedometer accuracy and odometer accu-

racy. It also creates incorrect body-to-tire clearances and inappropriately changes the vehicle’s ground clearance.


All four tires must be the same in terms of manufacturer, brand (tread pattern), construction, and size. You are advised to replace the tires with new ones that are identical to those fitted as standard equipment.


For safe vehicle operation, SUBARU recommends replacing all four tires at the same time.


WARNING


D All four tires must be the same in terms of manufacturer, brand (tread pattern), construction, degree of wear, speed symbol, load index and size. Mixing tires of different types, sizes or degrees of wear can result in damage to the vehicle’s power train. Use of dif- ferent types or sizes of tires can also dangerously reduce con- trollability and braking performance and can lead to an accident. D Use only radial tires. Do not use radial tires together with belted bias tires and/or bias-ply tires. Doing so can dangerously reduce controllability, resulting in an accident.


J Wheel replacement When replacing wheels due, for example, to damage, make sure the re- placement wheels match the specifications of the wheels that are fitted as standard equipment. Replacement wheels are available from SUBARU dealers.


WARNING


Use only those wheels that are specified for your vehicle. Wheels not meeting specifications could interfere with brake caliper op- eration and may cause the tires to rub against the wheel well housing during turns. The resulting loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident.

Aluminum wheels


Aluminum wheels can be scratched and damaged easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their appearance, performance, and safety.


D When any of the wheels is removed and replaced for tire rotation or to change a flat, always check the tightness of the wheel nuts after driving approximatly 600 miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to the specified torque. D Never apply oil to the threaded parts, wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the wheel. D Never let the wheel rub against sharp protrusions or curbs. D Be sure to fit tire chains on uniformly and completely around the tire, otherwise the chains may scratch the wheel. D When wheel nuts, balance weights, or the center cap is replaced, be sure to replace them with genuine SUBARU parts designed for aluminum wheels.


Windshield washer fluid


CAUTION


Never use engine coolant as washer fluid because it could cause paint damage.


Check the level of the washer fluid at each fuel stop. If the level is low, fill the fluid up to the neck of the reservoir. Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield washer fluid is unavailable use clean water. In areas where water freezes in winter, use an anti-freeze type windshield washer fluid. SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluid contains 58.5% methyl alcohol and 41.5% surfactant, by volume. Its freezing temperature varies according to how much it is diluted, as indicated below.

Replacement of windshield wiper blades


Grease, wax, insects, or other materials on the windshield or the wiper blade results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you cannot remove the streaks after operating the windshield washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield (or rear window) and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water. The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield with water.


CAUTION


Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the wiper blades.


If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this method, replace the wiper blades using the following procedures:

Battery


WARNING


D Before beginning work on or near any battery, be sure to extin- guish all cigarettes, matches, and lighters. Never expose a bat- tery to an open flame or electric sparks. Batteries give off a gas which is highly flammable and explosive. D For safety, in case an explosion does occur, wear eye protec- tion or shield your eyes when working near any battery. Never lean over a battery. D Do not let battery fluid contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or paint be- cause battery fluid is a corrosive acid. If battery fluid gets on your skin or in your eyes, immediately flush the area with water thor- oughly. Seek medical help immediately if acid has entered the eyes. If battery fluid is accidentally swallowed, immediately drink a large amount of milk or water, and seek medical attention immediately. D To lessen the risk of sparks, remove rings, metal watchbands, and other metal jewelry. Never allow metal tools to contact the positive battery terminal and anything connected to it WHILE you are at the same time in contact with any other metallic portion of the vehicle because a short circuit will result. D Keep everyone including children away from the battery. D Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. D Battery posts terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to case cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after han- dling.


CAUTION


Never use more than 10 amperes when charging the battery be- cause it will shorten battery life.
