Location of Spare Tire and Jack

Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, located under the rear of the
vehicle. The jack and necessary tools to release the spare from the vehicle are located in
the storage tray, under the cargo oorboard. To remove the spare tire, remove the cargo
oorboard and remove the access hole plugs located on the body, then insert the tool
through the access hole and turn it counterclockwise with the wheel nut wrench. Store
the at tire in the spare tire carrier.

Towing Your All-Wheel Drive Vehicle

Because all-wheel drive distributes engine power to all four wheels, improper
towing will severely damage your AWD system. A atbed truck is the only way
to properly transport your AWD vehicle. If towing is necessary, it is best done by
your Subaru dealer or a commercial towing service.
