Subaru Forester: Storage compartment / Cup holders
CAUTION
- Do not pick up a cup from the cup
holder or put a cup in the holder
while you are driving, as this may
distract you and lead to an accident.

if hot, might scald you
and/or your passengers. Spilled
beverages may also damage upholstery
or carpets.
- When a cup in the rear passenger’s
cup holder contains a beverage,
do not fold down the rear
seatback. Otherwise, the beverage
could spill and, if the beverage
is hot, it could scald you
and/or your passengers.

Adequate size trailer brakes are
required when the trailer and its
cargo exceed 1,000 lbs (453 kg)
