When maintenance and service are required, it is recommended that all work be done by an authorized SUBARU dealer.
If you perform maintenance and service by yourself, you should familiarize yourself with the information provided in this section on general maintenance and service for your SUBARU.
Incorrect or incomplete service could cause improper or unsafe vehicle operation.
Any problems caused by improper maintenance and service performed by you are not eligible for warranty coverage.
WARNING
Remember that some of the materials in the vehicle may be hazardous if improperly used or handled, for example, battery acid.
This will cause a fire.
