B All vehicles except OUTBACK wagon
SUBARU does not  offer accessory trailer hitches.  Consult with a pro-
fessional hitch supplier to  assist you in choosing an appropriate hitch
for  your  vehicle.  Be  sure  to  follow  all  of  the  hitch  manufacturers
instructions for installation and use.
Never use a hitch that mounts only  to the rear bumper. The bumper is
not designed to handle that type of load.
Regularly check that the hitch mounting bolts and nuts are tight.
B Connecting a trailer
n Trailer brakes
WARNING
D   Adequate size trailer  brakes are required  when the trailer  and
its cargo exceed 1,000 lbs (453 kg) total weight.
D   Do not  directly connect  your trailers  hydraulic brake  system
to the  hydraulic brake system  in your vehicle.  Direct connection
would cause  the vehicles  brake performance  to deteriorate  and
could lead to an accident.
If  your  trailers   total  weight  (trailer  weight   plus  its  cargo  weight)
exceeds 1,000 lbs (453 kg), the trailer is required to be equipped with
its  own brake  system.  Electric  brakes  or surge  brakes  are  recom-
mended,  and  must  be  installed  properly.  Check  that  your  trailers
brakes conform  with Federal,  state/province and/or  other applicable
regulations.  Your  SUBARUs  brake   system  is  not  designed  to  be
tapped  into  the  trailers  hydraulic  brake   system.  Please  ask  your
SUBARU dealer and  professional trailer supplier for  more information
about the trailers brake system.
n Trailer safety chains
WARNING
Always  use safety  chains  between your  vehicle  and the  trailer.
Towing trailer  without safety  chains could  create a  traffic safety
hazard if the trailer separates from the hitch due to coupling dam-
age or hitch ball damage.
