Subaru Forester: Starting and operating / Fuel
CAUTION
- Use of a fuel which is low in
quality or use of an inappropriate
fuel additive may cause damage
to the engine and/or fuel system.
- Some gas stations, particularly
those in high altitude areas, offer
fuels posted as regular octane
gasoline with an octane rating
below 87 AKI (90 RON). Use of
those fuels is not recommended.
The engine is designed to operate using
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
of 87 AKI (90 RON) or higher.

Other information:
NOTE
This section is applicable to the following
components.
Rear passenger’s seatbelt (windowside)
The pretensioner sensor also serves as
follows.
SRS frontal airbag sensor
Side impact sensor
Rollover sensor
If the sensor detects a certain predetermined
amount of force during frontal or
side collisions or rollover accidents, any
seatbelt that has a seatbelt pretensioner is
quickly drawn back in by the retractor to
take up the slack so that the belt more
effectively restrains the seat occupant...
The performance and long life of your
vehicle are dependent on how you handle
and care for your vehicle while it is new.
Follow these instructions during the first
1,000 miles (1,600 km):
Do not race the engine. And do not
allow engine speed to exceed 4,000 rpm
except in an emergency...
