WARNING
■ When initializing the tire pressure monitoring system (if equipped)
Do not operate the tire pressure monitoring reset switch without first adjust-
ing the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pres-
sure warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low,
or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
CAUTION
■ Replacing a flat tire
Do not hit and bend the disc rotor backing plate when removing and install-
ing the tire. A bent backing plate may scrape against the disc rotor and
cause noise while the vehicle is in motion.
■ Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves,
transmitters and tire valve caps (vehicles with a tire pressure monitor-
ing system)
● When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, contact any authorized SUBARU dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged if not handled
correctly.
● When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than those
specified. The cap may become stuck.
■ To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
(vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring system)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact
any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional or other qualified service shop as soon as possible.
After use of liquid sealant, make sure to replace the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter when repairing or replacing the tire. (→P. 398)
