Subaru Forester: Maintenance and service / Cooling system
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap until the engine has been shut
off and has cooled down completely.
Since the coolant is under pressure,
you may suffer serious burns from a
spray of boiling hot coolant when
the cap is removed...
Other information:
When parking your vehicle, always perform
the following items.
Apply the parking brake firmly.
Put the select lever in the “P” position.
Never rely on the mechanical friction of the
transmission alone to hold the vehicle.
When parking on a hill, always turn the
steering wheel...
In the event of wheelspin and/or skidding
on a slippery road surface and/or during
cornering and/or an evasive maneuver,
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system
adjusts the engine’s output and the
wheels’ respective braking forces to help
maintain traction and directional control...
