Subaru Outback (BR): Before checking or servicing in the engine compartment
WARNING
● Always stop the engine and apply the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
● Always let the engine cool down. Engine parts become very hot when the engine
is running and remain hot for some time after the engine is stopped.
● Do not spill engine oil, engine coolant, brake fluid or any other fluid on hot
engine components. This may cause a fire.
● Always remove the key from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position, the cooling fan may operate suddenly even when the engine is
stopped.
● Before performing any servicing on a vehicle equipped with a remote engine start
system temporarily place that system in the service mode to prevent it from unexpectedly
starting the engine.

WARNING
There are some drugs (over the counter and prescription) that can delay your
reaction time and impair your perception, judgment and attentiveness. If you drive
after taking them, it may increase your, your passengers’ and other persons’ risk
of being involved in a serious or fatal
vehicle damage or malfunction caused by trailer towing. If you use your vehicle
to tow a trailer, more frequent maintenance will be required due to the additional
load. (Refer to “Maintenance schedule under severe driving conditions” in the “Warranty
