Subaru Outback (BR): Parking in cold weather
WARNING
Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gases under your vehicle. Keep snow clear of

it could freeze in that position. Instead, you should observe the following tips.
1. Place the shift lever in “1” or “R” for MT models, or the select lever in
“P” for AT models and CVT models.
2. Use tire stops under the tires to prevent the vehicle from moving. When the
vehicle is parked in snow or when it snows, raise the wiper blades off the glass

snow, or has been left parked during a snowstorm, icing may develop on the brake
system, which could cause poor braking action. Check for snow or ice buildup on
the suspension, disc brakes and brake hoses underneath the vehicle. If there is
caked snow or ice, remove it, being careful not to damage the disc brakes and brake
hoses and ABS harness.
