Subaru Forester: Cargo area cover (if equipped) / To install the cover housing

- Insert the protrusion located on the
right end of the sleeve into the recess of
the retainer.

- Push the cover housing to the right
side and shorten the bar.
- Insert the other protrusion into the
recess of the other retainer.
The cargo area is equipped with several
tie-down hooks so that cargo can be
secured with a cargo net or ropes.
When using the tie-down hooks, turn them
down out of the storing recesses...
Other information:
Chemicals, salts and gravel used for
deicing road surfaces are extremely corrosive,
accelerating the corrosion of underbody
components, such as the exhaust
system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables,
floor pan and fenders, and suspension.
Thoroughly flush the underbody and inside
of the fenders with lukewarm or cold water
at frequent intervals to reduce the harmful
effects of such agents...
CAUTION
If the CHECK ENGINE warning light/
Malfunction indicator light illuminates
while you are driving, have
your vehicle checked/repaired by
your SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible. Continued vehicle operation
without having the emission
control system checked and repaired
as necessary could cause
serious damage, which may not be
covered by your vehicle’s warranty...
