If you have to call Subaru Roadside Assistance in an emergency, you can find the 24-hour toll-free number on the driver’s window – 1-800-261-2155.

When calling, you’ll need:

•	Your 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN) and mileage
•	Your exact location and type of assistance required
•	Your vehicle’s description and license plate number

Subaru Legacy and B9 Tribeca models have electro-luminescent gauges. Because they are lit all the time, they might give the driver the impression that the headlights and taillights are illuminated even when only the Daytime Running Lights are on.

Please remember to turn on your headlights in low light! The instrument-panel depiction of a headlight indicates that your headlights are illuminated.

When loading discs in the built-in changer, only insert discs one at a time, when the LOAD indicator flashes. Do not load:

•	Two discs at a time
•	Continuously or too quickly, without waiting for the changer to cycle and the LOAD light to flash

Follow these precautions to help prevent damage.

ANSWER: Rubbernecking – being distracted by something along the road.

Approximately 29 percent of all traffic collisions occur when drivers don’t pay attention to the road ahead but are looking elsewhere. Accidents, construction, animals and other distractions cause drivers to lose concentration on the most important thing at hand – driving.

As you’ve heard, “Keep your eyes on the road!” That’s where they belong – get the big picture of everything around you. Visually sweep the road ahead and the area surrounding it. Check your mirrors for possible hazards approaching from the rear.

If you have a Subaru vehicle with a temporary spare and an automatic transmission, using the spare requires a visit to the fuse box under the hood. Consult your Owner’s Manual, where it explains that the insertion of a spare fuse in the FWD connector defeats AWD to help prevent drivetrain damage. Just remember to take out the fuse once a conventional tire is installed.

Your Owner’s Manual shows where fuse boxes are located. For your convenience, spare fuses and a fuse puller/installer tool are stored in the fuse box in the engine compartment.
