If your vehicle overheats

If your engine overheats:

Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condi-
tioning system.
Check to see if steam is coming out from under the engine
hood.
If you see steam:
Stop the engine. Carefully lift the engine hood after the
steam subsides and then restart the engine.
If you do not see steam:
Leave the engine running and carefully lift the engine hood.
Check to see if the cooling fan is operating.
If the fan is operating:
Wait until the temperature of the engine (shown on the
instrument cluster) begins to fall and then stop the engine.
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine and call your SUBARU dealer.

After the engine has cooled
down sufficiently, check the
engine coolant level and
inspect the radiator core (radi-
ator) for any leaks.
