Subaru Crosstrek Service Manual: Precautions when working with the parts mounted on the vehicle

1. When working under a vehicle which is jacked-up, always be sure to use rigid rack.

2. The parking brake must always be applied during working. Also, in automatic transmission vehicles, keep the select lever set to the P (Parking) range.

3. Be sure the workshop is properly ventilated when running the engine. Further, be careful not to touch the belt or fan while the engine is operating.

4. Be careful not to touch hot metal parts, especially the radiator and exhaust system immediately after the engine has been turned off.
