Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Before driving

Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual / Driving tips / Off road driving / Before driving

Make certain that you and all of your passengers are wearing seatbelts.
Carry some emergency equipment, such as a towing rope or chain, a shovel, wheel blocks, first aid kit and cell phone or citizens band radio.
Secure all cargo carried inside the vehicle and make certain that it is not piled higher than the seatbacks. During sudden stops or jolts, unsecured cargo could be thrown around in the vehicle and cause injury. Do not pile heavy loads on the roof. Those loads raise the vehicle's center of gravity and make it more prone to tip over.
Never equip your vehicle with tires larger than those specified in this manual.
