Maintenance and service/Tires and wheels
tires and adjust the pressure
to the most appropriate one of
three (normal, loading, or tow-
ing) COLD tire pressure
shown on the tire placard on
the door pillar on the drivers
side.
If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may have signifi-
cant damage and a fast leak that
causes the tire to lose air rapidly.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as
possible.
. When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/trans-
mitter being transferred, the low
tire pressure warning light will
illuminate steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute.
This indicates the TPMS is un-
able to monitor all four road
wheels. We recommend that you
contact your SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible for tire and
sensor replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting. If the light illumi-
nates steadily after blinking for
approximately one minute, we
recommend that you promptly
contact a SUBARU dealer to have
the system inspected.
& Tire inspection
Check on a daily basis that the tires are
free from serious damage, nails, and
stones. At the same time, check the tires
for abnormal wear.
We recommend that you contact your
SUBARU dealer immediately if you find
any problem.
NOTE
. When the wheels and tires strike
curbs or are subjected to harsh treat-
ment as when the vehicle is driven on a
rough surface, they can suffer damage
that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
This type of damage does not become
evident until time has passed. Try not
to drive over curbs, potholes or on
other rough surfaces. If doing so is
unavoidable, keep the vehicles speed
down to a walking pace or less, and
approach the curbs as squarely as
possible. Also, make sure the tires are
not pressed against the curb when you
park the vehicle.
. If you feel unusual vibration while
driving or find it difficult to steer the
vehicle in a straight line, one of the
tires and/or wheels may be damaged.
We recommend that you drive slowly to
the nearest authorized SUBARU dealer
and have the vehicle inspected.
& Tire pressures and wear
Maintaining the correct tire pressures
helps to maximize the tires service lives
and is essential for good running perfor-
mance. Check and, if necessary, adjust
the pressure of each tire (including the
spare - if equipped) at least once a month
(for example, during a fuel stop) and
before any long journey.
Tire placard
Check the tire pressures when the tires
are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust
the tire pressures to the values shown on
