equipment manufacturers.
SUBARU assumes no responsibility for injuries or vehicle damage that
result from trailer towing equipment, or from any errors or omissions in
the instructions accompanying such equipment or for your failure to fol-

J Warranties and maintenance
SUBARU warranties do not apply to vehicle damage or malfunction
caused by trailer towing. If you use your vehicle to tow a trailer, more
frequent maintenance will be required due to the additional load.
Under no circumstances should a trailer be towed with a new vehicle or
a vehicle with any new power train component (engine, transmission, dif-
ferential, wheel bearings, etc.) for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of driv-
ing.

tional equipment installed on your vehicle) must never exceed the Gross
