Towing
WARNING
Never tow AWD vehicles (including AT, MT and CVT) with the front wheels raised off the ground while the rear wheels are on the ground, or with the rear wheels raised off the ground while the front wheels are on the ground. This will cause the vehicle to spin away due to the operation or deterioration of the center differential.
If towing is necessary, it is best done by your SUBARU dealer or a commercial towing service. Observe the following procedures for safety.
