Driving tips

– CONTINUED –
D Never turn off the ignition switch while the vehicle
is moving.
D Keep your engine tuned-up. If you feel the engine
running rough (misfiring, backfiring or incomplete
combustion), have your vehicle checked and re-
paired by an authorized SUBARU dealer.
D Do not apply undercoating or rust prevention
treatment to the heat shield of catalytic converter
and the exhaust system.
WARNING
D Avoid fire hazards. Do not drive or park the
vehicle anywhere near flammable materials
(e.g. grass, paper, rags or leaves), because
the catalytic converter operates at very high
temperatures.
D Keep everyone and flammable materials
away from the exhaust pipe while the engine
is running. The exhaust gas is very hot.
Periodic inspections
To keep your vehicle in the best condition at all
times, always have the recommended maintenance
services listed in the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet” performed at
the specified time or mileage intervals.
