Subaru Forester: Trailer towing / When you do not tow a trailer
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.
- If the ball is not installed, the
plastic insert should then be
inserted for protection and to
prevent it from getting dirty.
When the ball is not used, place the ball
cap and store securely.
Other information:
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the charging
system is not working properly.
If the light illuminates while driving or does
not turn off after the engine starts, stop the
engine at the first safe opportunity and
check the alternator belt...
Your vehicle is designed and intended to
be used primarily as a passenger-carrying
vehicle. Towing a trailer puts additional
loads on your vehicle’s engine, drivetrain,
brakes, tires and suspension and has an
adverse effect on fuel economy.
If you do decide to tow a trailer, your safety
and satisfaction depend upon proper use
of correct equipment and cautious operation
of your vehicle...
