Subaru Forester: Towing / Using a flat-bed truck
This is the best way to transport your vehicle. Use the following procedures to ensure safe transportation.
- Shift the select lever into the “P” position.
- Apply the parking brake firmly.
- Secure the vehicle onto the carrier properly with safety chains. Each safety chain should be equally tightened and care must be taken not to pull the chains so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.
CAUTION
- If your vehicle has a bumper under guard (optional), be careful not to scrape it when placing the vehicle on the carrier and when removing the vehicle from the carrier.
- Transport by flat-bed truck may cause the headlights to become misaligned. In such a case, have the headlight alignment checked by a SUBARU dealer after transporting the vehicle by flat-bed truck.
