Subaru Forester: In case of emergency / Towing
If towing is necessary, it is best done by
your SUBARU dealer or a commercial
towing service. Observe the following
procedures for safety.

WARNING
Never tow AWD models with the
front wheels raised off the ground
while the rear wheels are on the
ground, or with the rear wheels
raised off the ground while the front
wheels are on the ground. This will
cause the vehicle to spin away due
to the operation or deterioration of
the center differential.
The towing hooks should be used only in
an emergency.
CAUTION
Use only the specified towing hooks
and tie-down hooks/holes. Never
use suspension parts or other parts
of the body for towing or tie-down
purposes...
Other information:
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap until the engine has been shut
off and has cooled down completely.
Since the coolant is under pressure,
you may suffer serious burns from a
spray of boiling hot coolant when
the cap is removed...
It is possible to perform the following
operations when you are carrying the
access key fob.
Lock and unlock the doors.
Lock and unlock the rear gate.
Lock and unlock the fuel filler lid.
NOTE
It is not possible to lock the doors,
rear gate and fuel filler lid using the
keyless access function when the
push-button ignition switch is in the
“ACC” or “ON” position...
