Subaru Forester: Appearance care / Corrosion protection
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.
The most common causes of corrosion
are:
The accumulation of moisture retaining
dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas...
Other information:
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing and polishing.
Use a good quality polish and wax and
apply them according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wax or polish when
the painted surface is cool.
Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim,
as well as the painted surfaces...
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)...
