EXEMPTED SUBARU AWD vehicles from the portion of the testing pro-
gram that involves a two-wheel dynamometer.
There are some states that use four-wheel dynamometers in their testing
programs. When properly used, that equipment will not damage an AWD
SUBARU vehicle.
Under no circumstances should the rear wheels be jacked off the
ground, nor should the driveshaft be disconnected for state emission
testing.
Engine exhaust gas (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
D Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which is danger-
ous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
D Always properly maintain the engine exhaust system to pre-
vent engine exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
D Never run the engine in a closed space, such as a garage, ex-
cept for the brief time needed to drive the vehicle in or out of it.
D Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a lengthy time while
the engine is running. If that is unavoidable, then use the ventila-
tion fan to force fresh air into the vehicle.
D Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free from snow,
leaves or other obstructions to ensure that the ventilation system
always works properly.
D If at any time you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the
vehicle, have the problem checked and corrected as soon as pos-
sible. If you must drive under these conditions, drive only with all
windows fully open.
D Keep the trunk lid or rear gate closed while driving to prevent
exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
