Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Before checking or servicing in the engine compartment
WARNING
Always stop the engine and apply the parking brake firmly 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 has stopped.
Do not spill engine oil, engine coolant, brake fluid or any other fluid on hot engine components.
This may cause a fire.
When the ignition switch is in the "ON" position, the cooling fan may operate suddenly even when the engine is stopped. If your body or clothes come into contact with a rotating fan, that could result in serious injury. To avoid risk of injury, perform the following precautions.
- Models with push-button start system: Always turn the push-button ignition switch to the "OFF" position and confirm that the operation indicator on the switch is turned off. Then take the access key out from the vehicle.
- Models without push-button start system: Always remove the key from the ignition switch.
Before performing any servicing on a vehicle equipped with a remote engine start system (a dealer option), temporarily place the remote engine start system in service mode to prevent it from unexpectedly starting the engine.
