protectors, and remove metal
objects such as rings, bands or
other metal jewelry.

.

Be sure the jumper cables and

clamps on them do not have
loose or missing insulation.

Do not jump start unless cables
in suitable condition are avail-
able.

.

A running engine can be danger-

ous. Keep your fingers, hands,
clothing, hair and tools away
from the cooling fan, belts and
any other moving engine parts.
Removing rings, watches and
ties is advisable.

.

Jump starting is dangerous if it

done incorrectly. If you are un-
sure about the proper procedure
for jump starting, consult a com-
petent mechanic.

When your vehicle does not start due to a
run down (discharged) battery, the vehicle
may be jump started by connecting your
battery to another battery (called the
booster battery) with jumper cables.

&

How to jump start

1. Make sure the booster battery is 12
volts and the negative terminal is
grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not let the two vehicles touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary lights and
accessories.
4. Connect the jumper cables exactly in
the sequence illustrated.

9-7. Engine overheating

WARNING

Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap until the engine has been shut
off and has fully cooled down. When
the engine is hot, the coolant is
under pressure. Removing the cap
while the engine is still hot could
release a spray of boiling hot cool-
ant, which could burn you very
seriously.

If the engine overheats, safely pull off the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
location.

&

If steam is coming from the
engine compartment

.

Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”/

“OFF” position and get everyone away
from the vehicle until it cools down.
.

Contact an authorized SUBARU deal-

er.

&

If no steam is coming from the
engine compartment

1. Keep the engine running at idling
speed.
2. Open the engine hood to ventilate the
engine compartment. Refer to “Engine
hood” FP441.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off
the engine and contact an authorized
SUBARU dealer for repair.
3. After the engine coolant temperature
has dropped, turn off the engine. If the
temperature gauge stays in the over-
heated zone, turn off the engine.
4. After the engine has fully cooled down,
check the coolant level in the reserve tank.
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, add coolant up to the “FULL” mark.

NOTE

For details about how to check the
coolant level or how to add coolant,
refer to “Engine coolant”
FP447.

5. If there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, add coolant to the reserve tank. Then
remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator
with coolant.

If you remove the radiator cap from a hot
radiator, first wrap a thick cloth around the

radiator cap, then turn the cap counter-
clockwise slowly without pressing down
until it stops. Release the pressure from
the radiator. After the pressure has been
fully released, remove the cap by pressing
down and turning it.

your SUBARU dealer or a commercial
towing service. Observe the following
procedures for safety.

WARNING

Never tow AWD models with the
front wheels raised off the ground
while the rear wheels are on the
ground, or with the rear wheels
raised off the ground while the front
wheels are on the ground. This will
cause the vehicle to spin away due
to the operation or deterioration of
the center differential.

&

Towing hooks and tie-down
hooks/holes

The towing hooks should be used only in
an emergency.

CAUTION

Use only the specified towing hooks
and tie-down hooks/holes. Never

To restart the engine when
involved in an accident

CAUTION

If your vehicle is involved in an
accident, be sure to inspect the
ground under the vehicle before
restarting the engine. If you find that
fuel has leaked on the ground, do
not try to restart the engine. The fuel
system has been damaged and is in
need of repair. Immediately contact
the nearest automotive service facil-
ity. We recommend that you consult
your SUBARU dealer.

Your vehicle has a fuel pump shut off
system. When the vehicle sustains an
impact in an accident, etc., the fuel pump
shut off system stops supplying the fuel in
order to minimize fuel leakage. However,
depending on the impact conditions at the
time of collision, the fuel pump shut-off
system may not operate.
Perform the following procedures to restart
the engine after the system is activated.

Auto lock/unlock operation
when involved in an accident

When the auto lock/unlock function is ON,
all the doors will be locked automatically
while driving. For further details, refer to
“Automatic door locking/unlocking”
FP141.
When the vehicle sustains a strong impact
which may trigger the airbags to deploy,
the door locks may be unlocked automa-
tically to enable emergency escape. Gen-
erally, an impact sustained from a rear end
collision does not trigger the airbags to
deploy. However if the impact is strong
enough to deploy the airbags, it can also
trigger the unlocking function.
Under such circumstance, the auto unlock/
lock function will be suspended and the
doors will remain unlocked.

Confirm the safety of the surroundings first
and carry out the following to retrieve the
auto door lock function.

Models without “keyless access with
push-button start system”:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position.

Washing

CAUTION

.

When washing the vehicle, the

brakes may get wet. As a result,
the brake stopping distance will
be longer. To dry the brakes, drive
the vehicle at a safe speed while
lightly depressing the brake ped-
al to heat up the brakes.

.

Do not wash the engine compart-

ment and area adjacent to it. If
water enters the engine air intake
or electrical parts, it will cause
engine trouble or a malfunction
of electrical equipment.

.

When washing inner fenders, un-

derbody, bumpers and protrud-
ing objects such as exhaust
pipes and exhaust finishers, be
careful to prevent injuries from
contacting sharp ends.

.

Do not use any organic solvents

when washing the surface of the
bulb assembly cover. However, if
a detergent with organic solvents
is used to wash the cover sur-
face, completely rinse off the
detergent with water. Otherwise,

the cover surface may be da-
maged.

.

Since your vehicle is equipped

with a rear wiper, automatic car-
wash brushes could become
tangled around it, damaging the
wiper arm and other compo-
nents. Ask the automatic car-
wash operator not to let the
brushes touch the wiper arm or
to fix the wiper arm on the rear
window glass with adhesive tape
before operating the machine.

NOTE

.

When having your vehicle washed in

an automatic car wash, make sure
beforehand that the car wash is of
suitable type.
.

The rear view camera lens has a hard

coating to help prevent scratches.
However, when washing the vehicle or
cleaning the camera lens, be careful not
to scratch the camera lens. Do not use a
washing brush directly on the camera
lens. The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.

The best way to preserve your vehicle’s
beauty is frequent washing. Wash the
vehicle at least once a month to avoid
contamination by road grime.

Wash dirt off with a wet sponge and plenty
of lukewarm or cold water. Do not wash the
vehicle with hot water and in direct sun-
light.

Salt, chemicals, insects, tar, soot, tree sap,
and bird droppings should be washed off
using a light detergent, as required. If you
use a light detergent, make certain that it is
a neutral detergent. Do not use strong
soap or chemical detergents. All cleaning
agents should be promptly flushed from
the surface and not allowed to dry there.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of
lukewarm water. Wipe the remaining water
off with a chamois or soft cloth. Wear
rubber gloves and use a hand brush when
washing down underbody, inner fenders
and suspension to effectively remove mud
and dirt off.

(433,1)

北米Model "A3200BE-A" EDITED: 2018/ 3/ 5

!

Washing the underbody

Chemicals, salts and gravel used for
deicing road surfaces are extremely cor-
rosive, accelerating the corrosion of un-
derbody components, such as the exhaust
system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables,
floor pan and fenders, and suspension.
Thoroughly flush the underbody and inside
of the fenders with lukewarm or cold water
at frequent intervals to reduce the harmful
effects of such agents.

Mud and sand adhering to the underbody
components may accelerate their corro-
sion.
After driving off-road or on muddy or sandy
roads, wash the mud and sand off the
underbody. Carefully flush the suspension
and axle parts, as they are particularly
prone to mud and sand buildup. Do not use
a sharp-edged tool to remove caked mud.

CAUTION

.

Be careful not to damage brake

hoses, sensor harnesses, and
other parts when washing sus-
pension components.

.

Be careful not to flush the engine

bottom for a long time. It may
cause damage of some electrical
parts.

!

Using a warm water washer

.

Keep a good distance of 12 in (30 cm)

or more between the washer nozzle and
the vehicle.
.

Do not wash the same area continu-

ously.
.

If a stain will not come out easily, wash

by hand. Some warm water washers are of
the high temperature, high pressure type,
and they can damage or deform the resin
parts such as moldings, or cause water to
leak into the vehicle.

&

Waxing and polishing

Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing and polishing.
Use a good quality polish and wax and
apply them according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Wax or polish when
the painted surface is cool.

Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim,
as well as the painted surfaces. Loss of
wax on a painted surface leads to loss of
the original luster and also quickens the
deterioration of the surface. It is recom-
mended that a coat of wax be applied at
least once a month, or whenever the
surface no longer repels water.

If the appearance of the paint has dimin-
ished to the point where the luster or tone
cannot be restored, lightly polish the sur-
face with a fine-grained compound. Never
polish just the affected area, but include
the surrounding area as well. Always
polish in only one direction. A No. 2000
grain compound is recommended. Never
use a coarse-grained compound. Coarse-
grained compounds have a smaller grain-
size number and could damage the paint.
After polishing with a compound, coat with
wax to restore the original luster. Frequent
polishing with a compound or an incorrect
polishing technique will result in removing
the paint layer and exposing the under-

coat. When in doubt, it is always best to
contact your SUBARU dealer or an auto
paint specialist.

CAUTION

Do not use any agents with organic
solvents on the surface of the bulb
assembly cover. However, if a polish
or wax with organic solvents is
applied to the cover surface, com-
pletely wipe off the polish or wax.
Otherwise, the cover surface may be
damaged.

NOTE

.

Be careful not to block the wind-

shield washer nozzles with wax when
waxing the vehicle.
.

Do not wipe the rear view camera

with alcohol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may occur. To
remove contamination, wipe the cam-
era with a cloth moistened with diluted
neutral detergent and then wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth.
.

When waxing the vehicle, be careful

not to apply the wax to the rear view
camera. If it comes in contact with the
camera, moisten a clean cloth with
diluted neutral detergent to remove
the wax.

&

Cleaning alloy wheels

.

Promptly wipe the alloy wheels clean of

any kind of grime or agent. If dirt is left on
too long, it may be difficult to clean off.
.

Do not use soap containing grit to clean

the wheels. Be sure to use a neutral
cleaning agent, and later rinse thoroughly
with water. Do not clean the wheels with a
stiff brush or expose them to a high-speed
washing device.
.

Clean the vehicle (including the alloy

wheels) with water as soon as possible
when it has been splashed with sea water,
exposed to sea breezes, or driven on
roads treated with salt or other agents.

10-2. Corrosion protection

Your SUBARU has been designed and
built to resist corrosion. Special materials
and protective finishes have been used on
most parts of the vehicle to help maintain
fine appearance, strength, and reliable
operation.

&

Most common causes of cor-
rosion

The most common causes of corrosion
are:
.

The accumulation of moisture retaining

dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas.
.

Damage to paint and other protective

coatings caused by gravel and stone chips
or minor accidents.

Corrosion is accelerated on the vehicle
when:
.

It is exposed to road salt or dust control

chemicals, or used in coastal areas where
there is more salt in the air, or in areas
where there is considerable industrial
pollution.
.

It is driven in areas of high humidity,

especially when temperatures range just
above freezing.
