& Side mirrors
S08AL09
Many countries have regulations requiring
special outside mirrors when towing a
trailer. After hitching a trailer to your
vehicle, check that the standard side
mirrors provide a good rearward field of
view without significant blind spo ts. If
significant blind spots occur with the
vehicle’s standard side mirrors, use addi-
tional outside mirrors that conform with
regulations.
& Trailer lights
S08AL10
Connection of trailer lights to your vehi-
cle’s electrical system requires modifica-
tions to the vehicle’s lighting circuit to
increase its capacity and accommodate
wiring changes. To ensure the trailer lights
are connected properly, we recommend
that you consult your SUBARU dealer.
Check for proper operation of the turn
signals and the brake lights each time you
hitch up.
CAUTION
Direct splicing or other improper
connection of trailer lights may
damage your vehicl e’s electrical
system and cause a malfunction of
your vehicle lighting system.
& Tires
S08AL11
Make sure that all the tires on your vehicle
are inflated to the pressure under towing
conditions as shown on the tire placard
located under the door striker on the
driver’s side. Trailer tire condition, size,
load rating and proper inflation pressure
should be in accordance with the trailer
manufacturer’s specifications.

CAUTION
Diesel models only:
The vehicle speed may decrease
when climbing up a slope or during
continuous high-load driving while
towing a trailer. Therefore, please
use extra caution when climbing up
slopes while towing a trailer (for

vehicles while driving uphill, etc.).
This control system is necessary for
maintaining the ability of the vehicle
cooling performance and does not
indicate a malfunction. The vehicle

trailer will return to normal when the
load of the vehicle is decreased and
