AWD vehicle on a two-wheel dynam-
ometer. Otherwise, serious transmis-
sion damage will result.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and states using two-
wheel dynamometers in their emission
testing program have EXEMPTED
SUBARU AWD vehicles from the portion
of the testing program that involves a two-
wheel dynamometer. There are some
states that use four-wheel dynamometers
in their testing program. When properly
used, this equipment should not damage
a SUBARU AWD vehicle.
Under no circumstances should the rear
wheels be jacked off the ground, nor
should the driveshaft be disconnected in
an attempt to bypass AWD for state
emission testing. An AWD vehicle must
be tested using an AWD dynamometer
with all 4 wheels driven and loaded.
