If I ever have to tow my car, is there a fuse I have to pull to keep from burning up the AWD system? The dealer said all Subarus come with a full size spare because otherwise the AWD system will burn up. Maybe I should just flatbed it like my '91 Legacy.

Unless you have a manual transmission, there's no simple way to tow a Subaru with any wheels in contact with the road. A flatbed is the way to properly transport.

@neolynne The spare is a donut, but is "full sized" in circumference so it can be used without causing problems for the AWD system.

I was just impressed that Subaru had an actual tire back there since so many manufacturers are going to run flat tires or the aerosol cans.
