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:
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...
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by entrapment, always conform
to the following instructions
without exception.
When operating the power windows,
be extremely careful to
prevent anyone’s body parts or
any other objects from being
caught in the window...
