1. Air Cleaner Element
This element filters intake air. Follow
the maintenance guidelines in your
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet.”
When necessary, replace this element
with a genuine Subaru air cleaner.
2. Engine Oil Level Gauge
Check the engine oil level at each fuel
stop. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
and insert it again. Pull it out and check
the oil level. If it is below the lower
level, add oil to bring the level up to
the upper level. (Use only engine oil of
the recommended grade and viscosity.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual
for oil recommendations and other
important details.)
3. Radiator Cap
If your engine overheats, safely pull
off the road and stop your vehicle in a
safe place. Never attempt to remove
the radiator cap until the engine has
been shut off and has fully cooled
down. If steam is coming from the
engine compartment, turn the engine
off and move everyone away from the
vehicle until it cools. Please refer to your
Owner’s Manual for details.
4. Engine Oil Filter
Change the oil filter according to the
maintenance schedule in the “Warranty
and Maintenance Booklet.”
5. Engine Coolant Reservoir
Check your coolant level at each
fuel stop. Observe the coolant level
on the outside of the reservoir while the
engine is cool. If the level is close to –
or lower than – the “LOW” level mark,
add coolant to the “FULL” level mark.
If the reserve tank is empty, remove
the radiator cap and refill as required.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual
for details.

6. Engine Oil Filler Cap
Change your oil according to
the maintenance schedule in
your “Warranty and Maintenance
Booklet.” Your engine oil must be
changed more frequently when you
drive on dusty roads, frequently
make short trips, or when you drive
in extremely cold weather.
7. Brake Fluid Reservoir
Check your brake fluid level
monthly. Observe the fluid level on
the outside of the reservoir. If the
level is below the “MIN” level mark,
add the recommended brake fluid
(FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT 3 or
4 brake fluid) to the “MAX” level
mark. Use only brake fluid from a
sealed container.
8. Main Fuse Box
Your Legacy has two fuse
boxes. One is located under the
instrument panel, behind the fuse
box cover on the driver’s seat side.
The other is housed in your engine
compartment, as shown here.
Fuses are designed to melt during
an overload situation in order to
prevent damage to the wiring
harness and electrical equipment.
If any lights, accessories or
electrical controls fail to operate
properly, inspect the corresponding
fuse. If it has blown, replace it in
accordance with the instructions
in your Owner’s Manual. The fuse
puller and spare fuses are located
in the main fuse box in the
engine compartment.
9. Battery
When your vehicle does not start
due to a battery that has run down,
the vehicle may be jump-started by
connecting your battery to another
battery with jumper cables.
Jump-starting is dangerous if done
incorrectly. Please refer to your
Owner’s Manual for instructions.
If you are unsure about how to
jump-start your vehicle, please
consult a competent mechanic.
10. Windshield Washer Tank
It is a good idea to check your
washer fluid every time you stop
for fuel. If the level is low, fill the
windshield washer tank to the
neck of the reservoir with
windshield washer fluid. In cold
weather, use a freeze-resistant
windshield washer fluid.

The child safety locks are located
on the inside edges of the rear
doors. In the locked position, the
rear doors can only be opened
from the outside.

Internal Child Safety
Trunk Release with
Self-Illuminating Handle
In the event that children or adults
become locked inside the trunk,
this luminescent handle allows
them to open the lid from inside
the trunk. To open, simply pull
the yellow handle downward as
indicated by the arrow on the
handle, and then push up on the lid.
Location of
Spare Tire and Jack
A jack and other maintenance tools
are stored in the tool bucket in the
center of the spare tire, located in
the trunk or cargo area. Raise the
center lid and remove the bucket
from the center of the spare tire.
Take the jack out of the bucket.
The jack handle is stowed on the
back of the floor cover of the trunk.
Emergency Towing Your All-Wheel Drive Vehicle
Since all-wheel drive distributes engine power to all four wheels, improper towing
will severely damage your AWD system. A flatbed truck is the only recommended
way to properly transport your AWD vehicle. If towing is necessary, it is best done
by your Subaru retailer or a commercial towing service.

Coverage is automatic; there are no forms to complete. Subaru Roadside
Assistance is available anytime during the 3-year/36,000-mile Subaru Limited
Warranty, whichever comes first.* A Subaru Roadside Assistance decal has been
affixed to the driver’s door window.
