Transporting your Subaru Ascent on a flat-bed truck is considered the safest and most reliable method, as it prevents unnecessary stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. To ensure maximum safety and avoid potential damage, always follow the correct loading and securing procedures.
1. Shift the selector lever of your Subaru Ascent into the "P" (Park) position to prevent unintended movement.
2. Firmly engage the parking brake to stabilize the vehicle during loading and transportation.
3. Secure the Subaru Ascent to the carrier using high-quality safety chains or straps. Each chain should be tightened evenly to maintain balance, but avoid excessive tension that could compress the suspension system or cause structural strain.
CAUTION
Towing with all wheels on the ground

1. Release the parking brake completely and place the transmission of your Subaru Ascent into the neutral position before towing.
2. Ensure that the ignition switch remains in the "ON" position during towing so that the steering system remains unlocked and controllable.
3. Gradually remove slack from the towing rope or cable to prevent sudden jerks that could damage the vehicle or towing equipment.
WARNING
As a result, significantly more force will be required to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel, which can affect handling and stopping performance.
CAUTION
Electronic parking brake - if the electronic parking brake cannot be released
If the electronic parking brake on your Subaru Ascent cannot be disengaged, do not attempt to force it manually. Instead, contact an authorized SUBARU dealer for professional assistance to safely release the system and prevent damage.
For optimal safety and preservation of your Subaru Ascent, always choose proper towing methods and follow manufacturer recommendations, as incorrect handling may result in costly repairs and compromised vehicle performance.
