Towing
If towing is necessary, it is best done by SUBARU dealer or a commercial towing service. Observe the
following procedures for safety.
WARNING:
Never tow AWD models with the front wheels raised off the ground while the rear wheels are on the ground, or
with the rear wheels raised off the ground while the front wheels are on the ground. This will cause the vehicle
to spin away due to the operation or deterioration of the center differential.

 Towing with all wheels on the ground
The towing hooks should be used only in an emergency (e.g., to free a stuck vehicle from mud, sand
or snow).
Note:
• Use only the specified towing hook and tie-down hook. Never use suspension parts or other parts
of the body for towing or tie-down purposes.
• To prevent deformation to the front bumper and the towing hook, do not apply excessive lateral
load to the towing hook.
