There is no continuously variable transmission fluid level gauge. It is unnecessary to check the continuously variable
transmission fluid level. However, if necessary, we recommend that you consult
your SUBARU dealer for inspection.

cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or a
fire. If oil gets on the exhaust pipe,
be sure to wipe it off.
