Information
6. Engine Oil Filler Cap
Change your oil according to
the maintenance schedule in
your “Warranty and Maintenance
Booklet.” Your engine oil must be
changed more frequently when you
drive on dusty roads, frequently
make short trips, or when you
drive in extremely cold weather.
7. Brake Fluid Reservoir
Check your brake uid level
monthly. Observe the uid level
on the outside of the reservoir. If
the level is below the “MIN” level
mark, add the recommended
brake uid (FMVSS No. 116, fresh
DOT 3 or 4 brake uid) to the
“MAX” level mark. Use only brake
uid from a sealed container.
8. Battery
When your vehicle does not start
due to a battery that has run down,
the vehicle may be jump-started
by connecting your battery to
another battery with jumper cables.
Jump-starting is dangerous if done
incorrectly. Please refer to your
Owner’s Manual for instructions.
If you are unsure about how to
jump-start your vehicle, please
consult a competent mechanic.
9. Windshield Washer Tank
It is a good idea to check your
washer uid every time you stop
for fuel. If the level is low, ll the
windshield washer tank to the
neck of the reservoir with
windshield washer uid. In cold
weather, use a freeze resistant
windshield washer uid.
10. Main Fuse Box
Your WRX STI has two fuse
boxes. One is located under the
instrument panel, behind the fuse
box cover on the driver’s seat
side. The other is housed in your
engine compartment, as shown
here. Fuses are designed to melt
during an overload situation in order
to prevent damage to the wiring
harness and electrical equipment.
If any lights, accessories or electrical
controls fail to operate properly,
inspect the corresponding fuse. If it
has blown, replace it in accordance
with the instructions in your Owner’s
Manual. The fuse puller and spare
fuses are located in the main fuse
box in the engine compartment.
