Subaru Forester: Trailer towing / Trailer Hitches
WARNING
Never drill the frame or under-body
of your vehicle to install a commercial
trailer hitch. If you do, dangerous
exhaust gas, water or mud may
enter the passenger compartment
through the drilled hole. Exhaust
gas contains carbon monoxide, a
colorless and odorless gas which is
dangerous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
Also, drilling the frame or underbody
of your vehicle could cause
deterioration of strength of your
vehicle and cause corrosion around
the drilled hole.
CAUTION
- Do not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, or
other systems when installing a
hitch or other trailer towing
equipment.
- Do not use axle-mounted hitches
as they can cause damage to the
axle housing, wheel bearings,
wheels or tires.
Do not use a trailer hitch other than a
genuine SUBARU trailer hitch. A genuine
SUBARU trailer hitch is available from
your SUBARU dealer.
CAUTION
The housing should be kept dirt
and corrosion-free at the points
of contact. The surfaces only
require cleaning with a cloth.
Grease or other lubricants
should never be used...
Other information:
NOTE
When the vehicle is stopped and the
driver’s door is opened and closed, the
Driver Monitoring System automatically
turns ON regardless of the pushbutton
ignition switch status.
After the Driver Monitoring System
was turned OFF, if the Driver Monitoring
System is turned ON while the driver’s
door is open, user recognition may not
occur correctly...
