 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.

Contact your SUBARU dealer immediate-

ly if you find any problem.

NOTE

y 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 oth-

er rough surfaces. If doing so is un-

avoidable, keep the vehicle’s speed

down to a walking pace or less, and ap-

proach the curbs as squarely as possi-

ble. Also, make sure the tires are not

pressed against the curb when you

park the vehicle.

y If you feel unusual vibration while

driving or find it difficult to steer the ve-

hicle in a straight line, one of the tires

and/or wheels may be damaged. 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) at least once a month (for example,

during a fuel stop) and before any long

journey.

Check the tire pressures when the tires

are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust

the tire pressures to the values shown on

the tire placard. The tire placard is located

on the door pillar on the driver’s side.

Driving even a short distance warms up

the tires and increases the tire pressures.

Also, the tire pressures are affected by the

outside temperature. It is best to check tire

pressure outdoors before driving the vehi-

cle.

When a tire becomes warm, the air inside

it expands, causing the tire pressure to in-

crease. Be careful not to mistakenly re-

lease air from a warm tire to reduce its

pressure.

If this light still comes on while driv-

ing after adjusting the tire pressure,

a tire may have significant 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/transmitter

being transferred, the low tire pres-

sure warning light will flash. This in-

dicates the TPMS is unable to moni-

tor all four road wheels. Contact

your SUBARU dealer as soon as

possible for tire and sensor replace-

ment and/or system resetting. If the

light flashes, promptly contact a

SUBARU dealer to have the system

inspected.
