Roof Rails with Ladder Type
(Subaru Outback Wilderness)
1)
Roof rails
Cargo can be carried on the roof after
securing the roof crossbars to the roof rails
and installing the appropriate carrying
attachments. When installing the roof
crossbars and the carrying attachments,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The
roof rail system is designed to carry loads
(cargo, roof crossbars and carrying attach-
ments) of no more than
220 lbs (100 kg)
.
Be sure not to exceed your vehicle’s
GVWR and GAWR.
CAUTION
.
When using the carrying attach-
ments, make sure that the total
carrying load of the cargo, roof
crossbars and carrying attach-
ments does not exceed 220 lbs
(100 kg). Overloading may cause
damage to the vehicle. Read the
manufacturer’s instructions and
pay attention to not exceed the
load limit of the parts.
.
For cargo carrying purposes, the
roof rails must be used together
with the SUBARU recommended
roof crossbars and any appropri-
ate carrying attachment that may
be needed. The roof rails must
never be used alone to carry
cargo. Otherwise, damage to the
roof or paint, or a dangerous road
hazard due to loss of cargo could
result.
NOTE
Remember that the vehicle’s center of
gravity is altered with the weight of the
load on the roof, thus affecting driving
characteristics.
Drive carefully. Avoid rapid starts, hard
cornering and abrupt stops. Crosswind
effects will be increased.
!
Rope hooks (attached to the roof
rails)

CAUTION
.
When you use the rope hooks,
always secure the rope at all four
hook points.
.
The maximum load capacity is
176 lbs (80 kg) per hook.
.
The cover cannot be removed.
.
Do not tighten the rope exces-
sively. Otherwise, it may lead to
damage to the vehicle body or
cargo.
.
Check that the rope is not loose

Roof Tent (Subaru Outback
Wilderness)
WARNING
Adding weight to the vehicle’s roof
can adversely affect handling, brak-
ing, and rollover resistance. The
vehicle must never be driven with a
total roof rail load in excess of 220
lbs (100 kg).
CAUTION
.
The roof rail load limit for sta-
tionary vehicles (700 lbs (317 kg))
applies only when the vehicle is
parked and the load is evenly
distributed left/right and front/
rear and the roof crossbars and
roof tent are tightly secured to
the vehicle. If these conditions
are not met, the load limit will be
lower.
.
The maximum load limit of the
roof crossbars must be obtained
from the manufacturer or retailer
of the roof rack. When driving the
vehicle, the maximum roof rail
load is 220 lbs (100 kg) or the
crossbar load limit (whichever is
lower).
Roof tents may be used under certain
conditions at your own risk.
!
When driving the vehicle
The total weight on the roof rails, including
the roof crossbars and roof tent, must not

vehicle is driven, occupants and cargo
must be removed from the roof tent and
the roof rail load must be restored to within
the roof rail load limit of 220 lbs (100 kg).
Refer to the user manual that accompa-
nied the roof tent for important safety
information and instructions on the proper
installation and use of the tent.
8-11. Trailer Hitch (Outback/
Subaru Outback Wilderness –
If Equipped)
WARNING
.
Never exceed the maximum
weight specified for the trailer
hitch. Exceeding the maximum
weight could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal in-
juries. Permissible trailer weight
changes depending on the situa-
tion. For possible recommenda-
tions and limitations, refer to
“Trailer Towing (Outback/Subaru
Outback Wilderness)”
.
Never drill the frame or under-
body of your vehicle to install a
commercial trailer hitch. If you
do, dangerous exhaust gas,
water or mud may enter the
passenger compartment through
the drilled hole. Exhaust gas
contains carbon monoxide, a col-
orless and odorless gas which is
dangerous, or even lethal, if in-
haled. Also, drilling the frame or
underbody of your vehicle could
cause deterioration of strength of
your vehicle and cause corrosion

around the drilled hole.
.
Be sure your trailer has safety
chains and that each chain will
hold the trailer’s maximum gross
weight. Towing trailers without
safety chains could create a traf-
fic safety hazard if the trailer
separates from the hitch due to
coupling damage or hitch ball
damage.
.
Use only a ball mount that is
suitable for the trailer hitch. Use
the hitch only as a weight carry-
ing hitch. Do not use with any
type of weight distributing hitch.
.
The standard bumper beam must
be installed after you remove the
trailer hitch. Consult a SUBARU
dealer for purchase of a standard
bumper beam if you do not have
the original.
.
If a trailer hitch is installed, it is
not possible to install the rear
towing hook.
CAUTION
Do not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, or other sys-
tems when installing a hitch or other
trailer towing equipment.
When any of the tires are punctured, you
can seal the tire temporarily. However, do
not tow a trailer when a sealed tire is used.
We recommend that you consult the
nearest SUBARU dealer for details.

hitch ball must be securely installed on the
ball mount.
6. Connect your trailer to the hitch ball.
7. Connect the trailer and the hitch with
safety chains that will hold the trailer’s
maximum gross weight. In case the trailer
hitch connector or hitch ball should break
or become disconnected, the trailer could
get loose and create a traffic safety
hazard. For safety, always connect the
towing vehicle and trailer with trailer safety
chains.
Two chains should be used in total, one to
the right side and the other to the left side
trailer tongue. Pass the chains crossing
each other under the trailer tongue to
prevent the trailer from dropping onto the
ground in case the trailer tongue should
disconnect from the hitch ball. Allow
sufficient slack in the chains taking tight
turn situations into account; however, be
careful not to let them drag on the ground.
WARNING
.
For safety, always connect the
towing vehicle and trailer with
safety chains.
.
Do not connect safety chains to
any part of the vehicle other than
the safety chain hooks.
.
Be sure to check the hitch pin and
safety pin for positive locking
placement before towing a trailer.
If the ball mount comes off the
hitch receiver, the trailer could
get loose and create a traffic
safety hazard.

ment other than genuine SUBARU towing
equipment. In addition, be sure to follow
the instructions on correct installation and
use provided by SUBARU.
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 follow the proper instructions.
Regularly check that the hitch mounting
bolts and nuts are tightened securely.
&
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.
Refer to “Maintenance schedule under
severe driving conditions” in the “Warranty
and Maintenance Booklet.”
Under no circumstances should a trailer be
towed with a new vehicle or a vehicle with
any new powertrain component (engine,
transmission, differential, wheel bearings,
etc.) for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
driving. After approximately the first 600
miles (1,000 km) of towing all trailer hitch
bolts should be re-tightened to the installa-
tion torque.
&
Maximum Load Limits
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum load
limits explained in the following.
Exceeding the maximum load limits
could cause personal injury and/or
vehicle damage.

Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR)
Gross Vehicle Weight
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) must
never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR).
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the com-
bined total of the weight of the vehicle,
driver, passengers, luggage, trailer hitch,
trailer tongue load and any other optional
equipment installed on your vehicle.
Therefore, the GVW changes depending
on the situation. Determine the GVW each
time before going on a trip by putting your
vehicle and trailer on a vehicle scale.
The GVWR of your vehicle that is set by
SUBARU is shown on the certification
label located on the driver’s door of your
vehicle.
Certification label
!
Gross Axle Weight (GAW) and
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
Gross Axle Weight
The total weight applied to each axle
(GAW) must never exceed the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). The front and rear
GAWs can be adjusted by relocating
passengers and luggage inside the vehi-
cle. The front and rear GAWR of your
vehicle that are set by SUBARU are also
shown on the certification label.
To check both GVWR and GAWR and to
confirm that the total weight and weight
distribution are within safe driving limits,
you should have your vehicle and trailer
weighed at a commercial weighing station.
Be sure that all cargo is firmly secured to
prevent a change in weight distribution
while driving.

Tips
(454,1)
WARNING
If the trailer is loaded with more
weight in the back of trailer’s axle
than in the front, the load is taken off
the rear axle of the towing vehicle.
This may cause the rear wheels to
skid, especially during braking or
when vehicle speed is reduced dur-
ing cornering, resulting in over-
steer, spin out and/or jackknifing.
Ensure that the trailer tongue load is from
8% to 11% of the total trailer weight and
does not exceed the maximum value.
For details about the trailer tongue load,
refer to “Total trailer weight”
1)
Jack
2)
Bathroom scale
The tongue load can be weighed with a
bathroom scale as shown in the following
illustration. When weighing the tongue
load, be sure to position the towing coupler
at the height at which it would be during
actual towing, using a jack as shown.
F:
Front
The tongue load can be adjusted by proper
distribution of the load in the trailer. Never
load the trailer with more weight in the
back than in the front; approximately 60%
of the trailer load should be in the front and
approximately 40% in the rear. Also,
distribute the load as evenly as possible
on both the left and right sides.
Be sure that all cargo is firmly secured to
prevent a change in weight distribution
while driving.

Connecting a Trailer
!
Trailer brakes
WARNING
Do not directly connect your trailer’s
hydraulic brake system to the hy-
draulic brake system in your vehicle.
Direct connection would cause the
vehicle’s brake performance to de-
teriorate and could lead to an acci-
dent.
Check that your trailer’s brakes conform
with Federal, state/province and/or other
applicable regulations. Your SUBARU’s
brake system is not designed to be tapped
into the trailer’s hydraulic brake system.
Please ask your SUBARU dealer and
professional trailer supplier for more in-
formation about the trailer’s brake system.

Trailer safety chains
WARNING
Always use safety chains between
your vehicle and the trailer. Towing
trailer without safety chains could
create a traffic safety hazard if the
trailer separates from the hitch due
to coupling damage or hitch ball
damage.
In case the trailer hitch connector or hitch
ball should break or become discon-
nected, the trailer could get loose and
create a traffic safety hazard.
For safety, always connect the towing
vehicle and trailer with trailer safety
chains. Two chains should be used in
total, one to the right side and the other to
the left side trailer tongue. Pass the chains
crossing each other under the trailer
tongue to prevent the trailer from dropping
onto the ground in case the trailer tongue
should disconnect from the hitch ball.
Allow sufficient slack in the chains taking
tight turn situations into account; however,
be careful not to let them drag on the
ground.
!
Side mirrors
After hitching a trailer to your vehicle,
check that the standard side mirrors
provide a good rearward field of view
without significant blind spots. If significant
blind spots occur with the vehicle’s stan-
dard side mirrors, use towing mirrors that
conform with Federal, state/province and/
or other applicable regulations.
!
Trailer lights
CAUTION
Direct splicing or other improper
connection of trailer lights may
damage your vehicle’s electrical
system and cause a malfunction of
your vehicle’s lighting system.
Connection of trailer lights to your vehicle’s
electrical system requires modifications to
the vehicle’s lighting circuit to increase its
capacity and accommodate wiring
changes. To ensure the trailer lights are
connected properly, please consult your
SUBARU dealer. Check for proper opera-
tion of the turn signals and the stop lights
each time you connect a trailer to your
vehicle.
!
Tires
WARNING
Never tow a trailer when the tempor-
ary spare tire is used. The temporary
spare tire is not designed to sustain
the towing load. Use of the tempor-
ary spare tire when towing can result
in failure of the spare tire and/or less
stability of the vehicle.
Make sure that all the tires on your vehicle
are properly inflated. Refer to “Tires”
Trailer tire condition, size, load rating and
proper inflation pressure should be in
accordance with the trailer manufacturer’s
specifications.
In the event your vehicle gets a flat tire
when towing a trailer, ask a commercial

Trailer Towing Tips
CAUTION
.
For models equipped with the
BSD (Blind Spot Detection) and
RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
driving support systems, when
towing a trailer, touch “BSD/
RCTA” to deactivate the system.
The system may not operate
properly due to the blocked radar
waves. For details about how to
turn on/off the BSD/RCTA, refer
to “Car settings”
.
For models equipped with Re-
verse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system, consult your SUBARU
dealer for additional information
about towing a trailer.
.
Towing a trailer in high tempera-
tures, or on long or steep grades,
may cause the vehicle to over-
heat. Refer to “Engine Overheat-
.
When towing a trailer, steering,
stability, stopping distance and
braking performance will be dif-
ferent when compared to normal
operation. You should never
drive at excessive speeds but
always employ extra caution
when towing a trailer. You should
also keep the following tips in
mind.
.
When parking on a steep slope
with a trailer attached to your
vehicle, the braking power of the
electronic parking brake may not
be sufficient since strong braking
power is needed.
!
Before starting out on a trip
.
Check the towing regulations for trailer
or caravan vehicles that vary by state/
region. Failure to comply with the proce-
dures set forth will not only compromise
your safety, but will also negate your
insurance coverage and/or may violate
the state road and traffic acts and regula-
tions.
.
Check that the vehicle and vehicle-to-
hitch mounting are in good condition. If any
problems are apparent, do not tow the
trailer.
.
Check that the vehicle rests horizon-
tally with the trailer attached. If the vehicle
is tipped sharply up at the front and down
at the rear, check the total trailer weight,
GVW, GAWs and tongue load again, then
confirm that the load and its distribution are
acceptable.
.
Check that the tire pressures are
correct.
.
Check that the vehicle and trailer are
connected properly. Confirm that
– The trailer tongue is connected
properly to the hitch ball.
– The trailer lights connector is con-
nected properly and trailer’s stop lights
illuminate when the vehicle’s brake
pedal is pressed, and that the trailer’s
turn signal lights flash when the vehi-
cle’s turn signal lever is operated.
– The safety chains are connected
properly.
– All cargo in the trailer is secured
safely in position.
– The side mirrors provide a good
rearward field of view without a sig-
nificant blind spot.
.
Sufficient time should be taken to learn
the “feel” of the vehicle/trailer combination
before starting out on a trip. In an area free
of traffic, practice turning, stopping and
backing up.
Trailer Towing (Outback/Subaru Outback Wilderness)
454
(457,1)
.
When using the 2.4 L turbo engine
model to tow a trailer, SUBARU recom-
mends using unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON) or higher
to reduce the risk of engine overheat.
!
Driving with a trailer
.
You should allow for considerably more
stopping distance when towing a trailer.
Avoid sudden braking because it may
result in skidding or jackknifing and loss
of control.
.
Avoid abrupt starts and sudden accel-
erations.
.
Avoid uneven steering, sharp turns and
rapid lane changes.
.
Slow down before turning. Make a
larger than normal turning radius because
the trailer wheels will be closer than the
vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. In a
tight turn, the trailer could hit your vehicle.
.
Crosswinds will adversely affect the
handling of your vehicle and trailer, caus-
ing sway. Crosswinds can be due to
weather conditions or the passing of large
trucks or buses. If swaying occurs, firmly
grip the steering wheel and promptly begin
decelerating your vehicle at a gradual
pace.
.
When passing other vehicles, consider-
able distance is required because of the
added weight and length caused by
attaching the trailer to your vehicle.
.
Reversing the vehicle with a trailer can
be difficult and requires experience. Never
accelerate or steer rapidly, and grip the
bottom of the steering wheel with one
hand.
To reverse around a corner, perform the
following procedure.
1. Reverse slowly and steer in the oppo-
site direction to the way you want to turn.
2. Once the trailer begins to swing
around, straighten the steering wheel.
3. Turn the wheel in the opposite direc-
tion.
4. Steer the vehicle around to be in line
with the trailer, then straighten the steering
again.
.
If the ABS warning light illuminates
while the vehicle is in motion, stop towing
the trailer and have repairs performed
immediately by your nearest SUBARU
dealer.
!
Driving on grades
.
Before going down a steep hill, slow
down and shift into lower gear (if neces-
sary, use 1st gear) in order to utilize the
engine braking effect and prevent over-
heating of your vehicle’s brakes. Do not
make sudden downshifts.
.
When driving uphill in hot weather, the
air conditioner may turn off automatically
to protect the engine from overheating.
.
When driving uphill in hot weather,
because the engine and transmission are
relatively prone to overheating, pay atten-
tion to the following items.

– Engine coolant temperature gauge
– AT OIL TEMP warning light
.
If any of the following conditions occur,
immediately turn off the air conditioner and
stop the vehicle in the nearest safe
location. Refer to “If You Park Your Vehicle
in an Emergency”
– Engine coolant temperature gauge
needle approaches the OVERHEAT
zone. Refer to “Engine Coolant Tem-
perature Gauge”
– AT OIL TEMP warning light illumi-
nates. Refer to “AT OIL TEMP Warning
Light”
.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to stay
stationary on an uphill slope instead of
using the parking brake or foot brake. That
may cause the transmission fluid to over-
heat.
!
Parking on a grade
Always block the wheels under both
vehicle and trailer when parking. Apply
the parking brake. You should not park on
a hill or slope. If parking on a hill or slope
cannot be avoided, you should take the
following steps:
1. Apply the brakes and hold the pedal
down.
2. Have someone place wheel blocks
under both the vehicle and trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel blocks are in place,
release the regular brakes slowly until the
blocks absorb the load.
4. Apply the regular brakes and then
apply the parking brake; slowly release
the regular brakes.
5. Shift into “P” and shut off the engine.

9-1. If You Park Your Vehicle
in an Emergency
The hazard warning flasher should be
used in day or night to warn other drivers
when you have to park your vehicle under
emergency conditions.
Avoid stopping on the road. It is best to
safely pull off the road if a problem occurs.
The hazard warning flasher can be acti-
vated regardless of the ignition switch
position.
Turn on the hazard warning by pressing
the hazard warning flasher switch. Turn it
off by pressing the switch again.
When the hazard warning flasher are
flashing, the corresponding turn signal
indicator will also flash.
NOTE
When the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
9-2. Temporary Spare Tire
WARNING
.
Never tow a trailer when the
temporary spare tire is used.
The temporary spare tire is not
designed to sustain the towing
load. Use of the temporary spare
tire when towing can result in
failure of the spare tire and/or
less stability of the vehicle and
may lead to an accident.
.
U.S.-spec. models, when a spare
tire is mounted or a wheel rim is
replaced without the original
pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the low tire
pressure warning light will illumi-
nate steadily after blinking for
approximately one minute. This
indicates the tire pressure mon-
itoring system (TPMS) is unable
to monitor all four road wheels.
Contact your SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible for tire and
sensor replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting.
