STARTING AND OPERATING
fuel is not covered under the SUBARU Limited Warranty.
. Always use a genuine SUBARU fuel filler cap. If you use the wrong cap, it may not fit or have proper venting and your fuel tank and emission control system may be damaged. It could also lead to fuel spillage and a fire.
. Immediately put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light illuminates. Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to the engine. Continuing to operate your vehicle at an extremely low fuel level may result in a reduction of engine performance.
7-2. STATE EMISSION TEST- ING( U. S. Only) s07ab
WARNING
Only use a four-wheel dynamometer when testing an All-Wheel Drive( AWD) model.
Testing of an AWD model must NEVER be performed on a single twowheel dynamometer. Attempting to do so will result in uncontrolled vehicle movement and may cause an accident or injuries to persons nearby.
CAUTION
. At state inspection time, remember to tell your inspection or service station in advance not to place your SUBARU AWD vehicle on a twowheel dynamometer. Otherwise, serious transmission damage will result.
. Resultant vehicle damage due to improper testing is not covered under the SUBARU Limited Warranty and is the responsibility of the state inspection program or its contractors or licensees.
California and a number of federal states have Inspection / Maintenance programs to inspect your vehicle’ s emission control system. If your vehicle does not pass this test, some states may deny renewal of your vehicle’ s registration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the performance of the engine’ s emission control system. Certified emission inspectors will inspect the On-Board Diagnostic( OBDII) system as part of the state emission inspection process. The OBDII system is designed to detect engine and transmission problems that might cause the vehicle emissions to exceed allowable limits.
