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:

Short proximity alert (approaching the object closer)

Before going down a steep hill, slow
down and shift to a lower gear (if necessary,
use 1st gear) in order to utilize the
engine braking effect and prevent overheating
of your vehicle’s brakes. Do not
make sudden downshifts.
When driving uphill in hot weather, the
air conditioner may turn off automatically
to protect the engine from overheating...
