Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Off road driving
WARNING
- Always maintain a safe driving speed according to the road and weather conditions in order to avoid having an accident on a sharp turn, during sudden braking or under other similar conditions.
- Always use the utmost care in driving - overconfidence because you are driving an All- Wheel Drive model could easily lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
Frequent driving of an AWD model under hard-driving conditions such as rough roads or off roads will necessitate more frequent replacement of the following items than that specified in the maintenance schedule described in the "Warranty and Maintenance Booklet".
- Engine oil
- Brake fluid
- Manual transmission oil (MT models)
- Continuously variable transmission fluid (CVT models)
- Front differential gear oil (CVT models)
Remember that damage done to your SUBARU while operating it off-road and not using common sense precautions such as those listed here is not eligible for warranty coverage.
Because of the AWD feature and higher ground clearance, you can drive your SUBARU on ordinary roads or off-road.
But please keep in mind that an AWD SUBARU is a passenger car and is neither a conventional off-road vehicle nor an all-terrain vehicle. If you do take your SUBARU off-road, certain common sense precautions such as those in the following list should be taken.
