sharp turn, during sudden braking or under other similar condi-
tions.
D Always use the utmost care in driving – overconfidence
because you are driving an all wheel drive vehicle could easily
lead to a serious accident.
J All AWD models except OUTBACK and SUS
Your AWD vehicle is neither a conventional off-road vehicle nor an all ter-
rain vehicle. It is a passenger car designed primarily for on-road use.
The AWD feature gives it some limited off-road capabilities in situation in
which driving surfaces a relatively level, obstruction-free and otherwise
similar to on-road driving conditions. Operating it under other than those
conditions could subject the vehicle to excessive stress which might re-
sult in damage not eligible for repair under warranty. If you do take your
SUBARU off road, you should review the common sense precautions in
the next section (applicable to the OUTBACK and SUS) for general guid-
ance. But please keep in mind that your vehicle’s off-road capabilities
are more limited than those of the OUTBACK and SUS.
J OUTBACK and SUS
Because of the AWD feature and higher ground clearance, your Subaru
can be driven on ordinary roads or off-road. But please keep in mind that
an AWD Subaru is a passenger car and is neither a conventional off-road
vehicle nor an all-terrain vehicle. If you do take your Subaru off-road, cer-
tain common sense precautions such as the following should be taken:
D Make certain that you and all of your passengers are wearing seat
belts.
D Carry some emergency equipment, such as a towing rope or chain, a
shovel, wheel blocks, first aid kit and portable phone or citizens band
radio.
D Drive carefully. Do not take unnecessary risks by driving in dangerous
areas or over rough terrain.
D Slow down and employ extra caution at all times. When driving off-
road, you will not have the benefit of marked traffic lanes, banked
curves, traffic signs and the like.
