Maintenance schedule

Maintenance precautions

The scheduled maintenance items required to be serviced at regular intervals
are shown in the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.

When maintenance and service are required, it is recommended that all work be
done by an authorized SUBARU dealer.

For details of your maintenance schedule,
read the separate “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.

NOTE
For models with a multi function display, you can set a reminder to be
displayed when a scheduled maintenance item is almost due. For details,
refer to “Maintenance settings” F3-79.

If you perform maintenance and service
by yourself, you should familiarize yourself
with the information provided in this
section on general maintenance and
service for your SUBARU.
Incorrect or incomplete service could
cause improper or unsafe vehicle operation. Any problems caused by improper
maintenance and service performed by
you are not eligible for warranty coverage.

model must NEVER be performed on a single two-wheel
dynamometer or similar apparatus. Attempting to do so will
result in transmission damage
and in uncontrolled vehicle
movement and may cause an
accident or injuries to persons
nearby.
. Always select a safe area when
performing maintenance on your
vehicle.
