Driving tips

the “Towing” section in chapter 9.
y Always maintain a safe driving speed accord-
ing to the road and weather conditions in order
to avoid having an accident on a sharp turn,
during sudden braking or under other similar
conditions.
y Always use the utmost care in driving – over-
confidence because you are driving an all
wheel drive vehicle could easily lead to a seri-
ous accident.
Off road driving
Because of the AWD feature and higher ground clear-
ance, 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 conven-
tional off-road vehicle nor an all-terrain vehicle. If you
do take your Subaru off-road, certain common sense
precautions such as the following should be taken:
y Make certain that you and all of your passengers
are wearing seat belts.
y Carry some emergency equipment, such as a tow-
ing rope or chain, a shovel, wheel blocks, first aid kit
and portable phone or citizens band radio.
y Drive carefully. Do not take unnecessary risks by
driving in dangerous areas or over rough terrain.
y 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.
y Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead, drive ei-
ther straight up or straight down the slopes. A vehicle
can much more easily tip over sideways than it can
end over end. Avoid driving straight up or down slopes
that are too steep.
y Avoid sharp turning maneuvers, especially at higher
speeds.
