Subaru Forester: Exterior care / Cleaning alloy wheels
- Promptly wipe the alloy wheels clean of
any kind of grime or agent. If dirt is left on
too long, it may be difficult to clean off.
- Do not use soap containing grit to clean
the wheels. Be sure to use a neutral
cleaning agent, and later rinse thoroughly
with water. Do not clean the wheels with a
stiff brush or expose them to a high-speed
washing device.
- Clean the vehicle (including the alloy
wheels) with water as soon as possible
when it has been splashed with sea water,
exposed to sea breezes, or driven on
roads treated with salt or other agents.
Your SUBARU has been designed and
built to resist corrosion. Special materials
and protective finishes have been used on
most parts of the vehicle to help maintain
fine appearance, strength, and reliable
operation...
Other information:
Using an electronic chirp, the power rear
gate will give you an audible signal before
starting its operation. If desired, the audible
signal can be turned off by a SUBARU
dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer for
details.
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system”, you can turn
the audible signal off by operating the
combination meter display (color LCD)...
The cargo area is equipped with several
tie-down hooks so that cargo can be
secured with a cargo net or ropes.
When using the tie-down hooks, turn them
down out of the storing recesses.
CAUTION
The cargo tie-down hooks are designed
only for securing light cargo...
