sary to check the continuously variable
transmission fluid level. However, if ne-
cessary, we recommend that you consult
your SUBARU dealer for inspection.

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

touches the exhaust pipe, it may
cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or a
fire. If oil gets on the exhaust pipe,
be sure to wipe it off.
