17.HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR SILICON-CONTAINING SPRAY
When a silicone contained in the lubricant, rust inhibitor or glazing agent adheres to the electrical contact of
the relay or switch, nonconducting silica dioxide (SiO2) film will be formed, which may lead to poor continuity.
Therefore, the following precautions must be observed when using the silicon-containing spray.
cardiagn.com
• Never spray directly to the electrical equipment.
• When using the spray close to the electrical equipment, always put the cover on it. Be sure to put the cover
on the electrical equipment especially when using the spray to the locations shown in the figure below and
their surrounding areas.

(1) Audio, heater control switch (3) Combination switch, steering (5) Power window switch
switch
(2) Shift/select lever switch, parking (4) Stop light switch, brake light switch,
switch clutch switch, clutch start switch
• If the residual silicon remains in the vicinity of the electrical equipment after the spray has been used, the
vaporized silicon stands around the electrical equipment and it may adhere to electrical contact. After using
the spray, be sure to wipe the silicon off with a cloth.
• Even when using the spray to the place away from the electrical equipment, the droplet of the spray may
be splashed to the periphery. Use as small amount of spray as possible, and take care not to splash the sil-
icon to the periphery.
NOTE:
The “silicon” used in this section refers to “silicone”, that is, silicon polymer.

5. SERVICE PARTS
• A removed part must be organized to avoid mixing up with similar parts. When same parts are used in mul-
tiple locations, such as pistons in engine, manage the parts by using labels with cylinder No. so that the parts
are not installed to the wrong location.
• Always replace nonreusable parts such as gasket and O-ring with new parts.
• After work, have a customer confirm the replaced part.
• Use genuine parts for maximum performance and maintenance when conducting repairs. Subaru/FHI will
not be responsible for poor performance resulting from the use of parts except for genuine parts.
6. BATTERY
• Actions to take after removing battery or disconnecting ground terminal
When removing the battery or disconnecting the battery terminal, always be sure to turn the ignition switch
to OFF and disconnect the battery ground terminal first.

A: RECOMMENDED MATERIALS
1. GENERAL
To insure the best performance, always use the specified oil, gasoline, adhesive, sealant, etc. or a substitute
of equivalent quality.
2. FUEL
• Use unleaded gasoline to reduce air pollution, because using leaded gasoline will damage the catalytic
converter.
• Do not use the low quality gasoline, or improper fuel such as diesel fuel, fuel alcohol, or gasoline additive
because they will adversely affect on engine components and fuel system components.
• Always use gasoline that is equivalent to that prescribed in the owner’s manual or that of high octane val-
ue. There is the possibility of damaging or improper operation of the engine and fuel injection system if the
specifications are not observed. Use the prescribed gasoline type to maintain proper vehicle performance.
