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:
To ensure safety, the engine will not be
automatically restarted if the engine hood
is opened when the Auto Start Stop
system is in operation, even if the brake
pedal is released. In this case, check the
surrounding area and restart the engine by
normal operation...
CAUTION
For models with a reclining rear
seatback, when reclining, move the
front part of the cover back so that it
is not damaged.
Align the right side of the front cover
with the triangle mark before fixing the
cover in place.
Align the left side of the front cover with
