A: NOTE
This is information that can improve efficiency of
maintenance and assure sound work.
1. FASTENER NOTICE
Fasteners are used to prevent parts from damage
and dislocation due to looseness. Fasteners must
be tightened to the specified torque.
Do not apply paint, lubricant, rust retardant, or oth-
er substances to the surface around bolts, fasten-
ers, etc. Doing so will make it difficult to obtain the
correct torque and result in looseness and other
problems.
2. STATIC ELECTRICITY DAMAGE
Do not touch the ECM, connectors, logic boards,
and other such parts when there is a risk of static
electricity. Always use a static electricity prevention
cord or touch grounded metal before conducting
work.
3. IGNITION OFF BATTERY
When removing the battery cables, always be sure
to turn the ignition off to prevent electrical damage
to the ECM from rush current.
4. SERVICE PARTS
Use authentic service parts for maximum perfor-
mance and maintenance, when conductingrepairs.
Subaru/FHI will not be responsible for poor perfor-
mance resulting from the use of parts not specified
by a genuine dealer.
