Subaru Forester: Winter driving / Rocking the vehicle
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand, or mud, depress the accelerator
pedal slightly and move the select
lever back and forth between “D” and “R”
repeatedly. Do not race the engine. For the
best possible traction, avoid spinning the
wheels when trying to free the vehicle.
When the road surface is extremely
slippery, you can obtain better traction by
starting the vehicle with the transmission in
2nd than 1st.
For information about holding the transmission
in the 2nd position, refer to
“Selection of manual mode”.
WARNING
Never allow passengers to ride
on a folded rear seatback in the
cargo area. Doing so may result
in serious injury.
Never stack luggage or other
cargo higher than the top of the
seatback because it could tumble
forward and injure passengers in
the event of a sudden stop or
..
Other information:
The LED headlights produce more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
When the vehicle is carrying a heavy load
and the headlight beams are angled
upwards, the driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience glare.
To prevent this, the automatic headlight
beam leveler adjusts the headlights to the
optimum height automatically depending
on the load the vehicle is carrying...
