Starting and operating

As additional guidance, only use fuels suited for your

vehicle as explained below.
y

Fuel should be unleaded and have an octane rating

no lower than that specified in this manual.
y

Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) is sometimes

mixed with unleaded gasoline. Methanol can be used

in your vehicle ONLY if it does not exceed 5% of the

fuel mixture AND if it is accompanied by sufficient

quantities of the proper cosolvents and corrosion in-

hibitors required to prevent damage to the fuel system.

Do not use fuel containing methanol EXCEPT under

these conditions.
y

If undesirable driveability problems are experienced

and you suspect they may be fuel related, try a differ-

ent brand of gasoline before seeking service at your

SUBARU dealer.
y

Fuel system damage or driveability problems which

result from the use of improper fuel are not covered

under the SUBARU Limited Warranty.

Do not let fuel spill on the exterior surfaces of

the vehicle. Fuels containing alcohol may

cause paint damage, which is not covered un-

der the SUBARU Limited Warranty.
