I kid you not, but reading the owners manual in my 2016 WRX it says, CAUTION, If the level gauge is not pulled out easily, twist the level gauge right and left, then pull it out. Otherwise, you may be injured accidentally straining yourself.
Not an "attorneys warn you of everything" post, but a friend in the 1960's got one of the first Datsun 510's. The manual stated, "In back of the instrument panel is a soft green light which will bring you much pleasure."

That's a good thing!
Red instrument panel backlighting gives me road rage!

Off topic, but my favorite is the John Deere "don't mow over babies" safety sticker:
Thanks for the strain warning atikovi!
Are those separate babies or did he back up in order to try to get the other leg? Also, it looks like that leg meat might be jamming the blade housing. Is there an adequate sized chute to take care of that sort of thing?

Maybe it's because WRX's are mostly driven by decaf, soy latte boys??...‚

Are you implying that they would actually know what a dipstick is?

WARNING: don't go outside, you might get hurt by the big bad world.
On the other hand, the stupidity level has risen substantially in recent decades. There was a recent thread here showing a guy working on a car on a jack. He was lying directly under the wheel.
VW Tiguan dipsticks are hard to pull off. The twin ratchet catches hold it on, requiring a lot of force to pull it out. Easy to put in though. Your arm can flail as you pull hard on it.
There must be sharp edges on the under side of the hood that you might get cut on if the level gauge is stuck and you pulled hard and it popped free and your hand hits it.. Hey Subie is just looking out for you!

A cut wrist is for real man.
