Park the vehicle on a level surface and stop the engine. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and insert it again.
Never use different brands together. 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. Page Recommended Grade And Viscosity If the vehicle requires frequent refilling, there may be an oil leak. Page Power Steering Fluid 3. If the fluid level is extreme low, it may indicate possible leakage.

If the parking brake lever stroke is not within the specified range, have the brake system checked and adjusted at your SUBARU dealer.
While the vehicle is driven, friction be- tween tires and the road surface causes the tires to warm up. If this light comes on while driving, never brake suddenly and keep driving straight ahead while gradu- ally reducing speed. Also have them adjusted after tire repairs and after tire rotation.
Page Wear Indicators mance. A tire must be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread. Page Tire Replacement You are advised to replace the tires with new ones that are identical to those fitted as standard equip- ment. Page In areas where water freezes in winter, use an anti-freeze type windshield washer fluid.
Page Replacement Of Wiper Blades Replacement of wiper blades Grease, wax, insects, or other material 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 If the new blade rubber is not provided with two metal spines, remove the metal spines from the old blade rubber and install them in the new blade rubber.
Align the claws of the metal support with the grooves in the rubber and slide the blade rubber assembly into the metal support until it locks. Having turned the wiper blade assem- bly to the angle shown in the illustration, pull it in the direction of the arrow to remove it from the wiper arm. Plastic support 4. Pull out the end of the blade rubber assembly to unlock it from the plastic support. Page Battery Maintenance and service support as shown in the illustration. If the rubber is not retained properly, the wiper may scratch the rear window glass.

Recommended tire inflation pressure Glossary of tire terminology Tire care — maintenance and safety practices Vehicle load limit — how to determine Determining compatibility of tire and vehicle load capacities Page Example: 6 Load Index: A numerical code which specifies the maximum load a tire can carry at the speed indicated by its speed symbol, at maximum inflation pressure.
Page Consumer information and Reporting safety defects! Maximum load rating The load rating at the maximum permissible weight load for this tire. Example: The vehicle placard shows original tire size, recommended cold tire inflation pressure on each tire at maximum loaded vehicle weight, seating capacity and loading infor- mation.
Rotating the tires involves switch- ing 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. Page Calculate the available load ca- pacity by subtracting the total weight from the vehicle capacity weight of lbs kg. The result of step 2 shows that a further 84 lbs 38 kg of cargo can be carried.
