Subaru Forester: Operation during cold weather / Before driving your vehicle
Before entering the vehicle, remove any
snow or ice from your shoes because that
could make the pedals slippery and driving
dangerous.
While warming up the vehicle before
driving, check that the accelerator pedal,
brake pedal, and all other controls operate
smoothly.
Clear away ice and snow that has accumulated
under the fenders to avoid making
steering difficult. During severe winter
driving, stop when and where it is safe to
do so and check under the fenders
periodically.
WARNING
Snow can trap dangerous exhaust
gases under your vehicle. Keep
snow clear of the exhaust pipe and
from around your vehicle if you park
the vehicle in snow with the engine
running...
Other information:
HomeLink has the capability of communicating
with your garage door opener.
HomeLink can receive and display “closing”
or “opening” status messages from
compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink can also recall and
display the last recorded status communicated
by the garage door opener to
indicate your garage door being “closed”
or “opened”...
CAUTION
Remove the head restraint when
mounting a child restraint system.
Otherwise, the top tether
cannot be fastened tightly.
Store the head restraint that has
been removed in the cargo area.
Avoid placing the head restraint
in the passenger compartment,
as it could be thrown around in
the passenger compartment in a
sudden stop or a sharp turn...
