Subaru Forester: Operation during cold weather / Opening rear gate (models with power rear gate)
CAUTION
Before operating the power rear
gate, check that there is no frost or
snow between the power rear gate
and the vehicle body. If you notice
frost or snow etc. on the power rear
gate, remove it. If you forcibly operate
the power rear gate with frost or
snow, it may cause a malfunction.
To help prevent moisture from forming in

tank is recommended during cold weather.
Use only additives that are specifically
designed for this purpose. When an antifreeze
additive is used, its effect lasts

To prevent skidding and slipping, avoid
sudden braking, abrupt acceleration, highspeed
driving, and sharp turning when
driving on snowy or icy roads...
