5. REMOVED PART

• A removed part must be organized to avoid mixing up with similar parts. When same parts are used in mul-

tiple locations, such as pistons in engine, manage the parts by using labels with cylinder No. so that the parts

are not installed to the wrong location.

• Always replace nonreusable parts such as gasket and O-ring with new parts.

• After work, have a customer confirm the replaced part.

6. WHEN REMOVING BATTERY

• To prevent damaging the retainer & molding assembly, completely close the front door glass on driver's

and passenger's sides before removing the battery.

• When removing battery, power supply is cut off and the information stored in the computer memory is vol-

atilized. Therefore, setting information of some device is initialized to the factory default. The device and

functions initialized by removing battery are as follows.

NOTE

B: NOTE

This is the information that can improve the effi-

ciency of maintenance and assure the sound work.

1. CAR WASH

• Perform procedures in a clean location and take

measures to protect from dust.

• Before disassembly, clean all parts except for

assembly parts with steam etc. When steam clean-

ing, use vinyl tape or similar material to plug up

parts such as the air breather, oil level gauge and

connectors so as to prevent steam from getting in-

side such parts.

• Use new white kerosene or similar liquid as the

cleaning solution.

• Never wash rubber parts, such as o-rings, gas-

kets and oil seals, using cleaning solution.

2. FASTENERS NOTICE

Tighten the bolts and nuts to the specified torque.

Do not apply paint, lubricant, rust retardant or other

substance to the surface around bolts, nuts, etc. It

may cause troubles with tightening to the specified

torque and result in looseness and other problems

of bolts and nuts.

3. STATIC ELECTRICITY DAMAGE

Do not touch the control modules, connectors, logic

boards and other such parts when there is a risk of

static electricity. Always use a static electricity pre-

vention cord or touch grounded metal for the elimi-

nation of static electricity before conducting work.

4. BATTERY

When removing the battery terminal, always be

sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF and discon-

nect the battery ground terminal first.

For models equipped with the keyless access with

push button start system, turn off all power supply

(indicator of the push button ignition switch goes

off) before disconnecting the battery ground termi-

nal.

5. BACKUP/POWER SUPPLY FUSE

The 30A fuse is moved from position (A) to (B) as

shown in the figure below to prevent battery con-

sumption when vehicles are delivered. Remove the

fuse from (B) and install in (A) as shown in the fig-

ure below. Removing the fuse from (B) deactivates

control during shipping (delivery mode).

6. IMMOBILIZER RELATED PART

Do not replace parts which have an immobilizer ID

(all ignition keys, combination meter (except for

Canada), body integrated unit, ECM and SCM (for

Canada), access key, keyless access CM, steering

lock CM and ID code box (for Canada) with parts

from other vehicles.

7. SERVICE PARTS

Use genuine parts for maximum performance and

maintenance when conducting repairs. Subaru/FHI

will not be responsible for poor performance result-

ing from the use of parts except for genuine parts.

8. PROTECTING VEHICLE UNDER MAIN-

TENANCE

Make sure to attach the fender cover, seat covers,

etc. before work.

9. ENSURING SECURITY DURING WORK
