Whats new, Updates,  Notes, Comments
Tribeca homepage


10/18 finally...its the long anticipated the end of the road for the slow selling Tribeca
If you're looking for a new one, there won't be many 2014 models- orders for them were accepted starting 8/1/13, prices were announced 8/13, and then orders were abruptly cut-off after 8/18.
Subaru's next 7 passenger will probably be born with combined Subaru-Toyota parentage, some form of hybrid technology, and hopefully a functional 3rd row.
The official statement "Subaru of America, Inc. has confirmed that production of the Tribeca model will cease in January 2014 with last deliveries to retailers in February 2014. The Tribeca debuted as Subaru’s mid-size SUV in 2005 and has sold approximately 78,000 vehicles to date.
SOA will support the effective sell down of the 2014MY Tribeca and the company has announced that it plans to return to the mid-size SUV segment with a three-row vehicle in the future."

 8/18 2014 Tribeca orders stopped.
This is the beginning of the final months for the Tribeca. There are some 2014 models already available on lots and more are scheduled to arrive but if Subaru isn't accepting new orders they could be planning to sell out of existing inventory. The production could be moved to the Outback


8/13 2014 prices and specs announced.
The Tribeca continues on for another year. Delivery expected starting late September.

There is still only the Limited model.

New: all 2014s have a standard moonroof, back-up camera (displays in rear view mirror or optional navigation screen), black roof rails, auto dimming rear view mirror with compass. These features were the optional $1500 moonroof package on 2013s.
Destination up $25 to $825.
MSRP including destination and the new added features is now $34920 which is the same as last year's 2013 model if you included the then optional moonroof package


New Carbide Gray color replaces graphite gray


8/1 orders now available on 2014 Tribecas. Prices and specs not released yet.

to adjust 2nd row seats in the subaru tribeca, use these handles, 2014, 2013, 2012 subaru tribecas-
for safety, to adjust the middle row seats all the way back (only done when there are  no 3rd row passengers),
it is necessary to move the yellow handle to the outside at the same time pulling the adjustment bar up.
This will allow the middle seat to move all the way back when there are no 3rd row passengers.
This is the same on both driver and passenger middle row seats.

Emergency: towing, dashboard warning lights, jump starts, flat tires
Always call a professional like Subaru's Roadside Asistance 800 261-2155 or your own emergency service folks. And read the owner's manual.
Information here is unofficial and subject to change and correction, and a Subaru trained mechanic should repair or diagnose any and all issues!

Towing your Tribeca:Tow on a flat bed truck only. However if you have no choice but to tow on the ground there's potential transmission damage, keep the speed under 20mph and the distance under 31 miles, and any damage probably won't be covered by the warranty!

Warning dashboard lights. Always take to a mechanic and have it checked out!
This isn't a full list, there's a lot more in the owners manual.
Subject to change, correction.

Low fuel light comes on with app 2.6 US gallons left.
Low tire pressure light TPMS- steady illumination when a tire is low, flashes there's a problem with the system. Take to mechanic.
VDC off light comes on when you have temporarily disabled the VDC system or when there's a problem with the system. Take to mechanic.
AWD light (AWD = all wheel drive) flashes if the vehicle is driven with mismatched or low tires which is always bad on an all-wheel-drive.
Indicates the transmission fluid is too hot. Slow down and avoid hard driving, hills, stop-go traffic etc. Take to mechanic.
  Indicates rear differential fluid is too hot. Park, let it cool down and if the light goes out it's ok. Take to mechanic.
Indicates that there is a problem. Or a loose gas cap. Anyway, slow down and take to mechanic.

Jump starting
1.Connect one jumper to the positive (+) terminal on the dead battery and connect the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the good booster battery.
2. Connect one end of the other cable to the negative terminal of the good battery and clamp the other end of the cable to the strut mounting nut.

Flat tires
The Tribeca has TPMS Tire pressure monitoring. When a tire's pressure drop below appr. 27psi a dashboard warning light goes on. It doesn' t say which tire so check all of them.  Using compressed tire inflator sealant may help get you home etc but will damage the TPMS sensor. When a tire or wheel is replaced, the sensor has to be programmed.
The spare is outside under the back.
To lower the spare, remove the subfloor storage lid in the cargo area, take out the jack and remove an access cover and cap. Get the hex-headed hoist shaft tool in the tool kit and fit it into the hole and put the wheel lug nut wrench onto it and turn it counter clockwise. Be sure to remove (not simply keep it open) the subfloor storage lid before turning the wheel nut wrench, otherwise the lid may be damaged. To replace the spare just wind it back up until you hear a few clicks and make sure the tire is tight.
