2006 SUBARU TRIBECA spare tire location

9-6 In case of emergency
Temporary spare tire
The temporary spare tire is smaller and
lighter than a conventional tire and is de-
signed for emergency use only. Remove
the temporary spare tire and re-install the
conventional tire as soon as possible be-
cause the spare tire is designed only for
temporary use.
Check the inflation pressure of the tempo-
rary spare tire periodically to keep the tire
ready for use. The correct pressure is 60
psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm 2
).
When using the temporary spare tire, note
the following.y Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
y Do not put a tire chain on the temporary
spare tire. Because of the smaller tire
size, a tire chain will not fit properly. y Do not use two or more temporary
spare tires at the same time. y Do not drive over obstacles. This tire
has a smaller diameter, so road clearance
is reduced. 1) Tread wear indicator bar
2) Indicator location mark
y When the wear indicator appears on the
tread, replace the tire. y The temporary spare tire must be used
only on a rear wheel. If a front wheel tire
gets punctured, replace the wheel with a
rear wheel and install the temporary spare
tire in place of the removed rear wheel.
y Never tow a trailer when the tem-
porary spare tire is used. The tem-
porary spare tire is not designed
to sustain the towing load. Use of
the temporary spare tire when
towing can result in failure of the
spare tire and/or less stability of
the vehicle and may lead to an ac-
cident.
yWhen 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
flash. This indicates the tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) is
unable to monitor all four road
wheels. Contact your SUBARU
dealer as soon as possible for tire
and sensor replacement and/or
system resetting.
Never use any temporary spare tire
other than the original. Using other
sizes may result in severe mechani-
cal damage to the drive train of your
vehicle.1

1) Jack handle
2) Jack
3) Spare tire
5. Take out the jack and jack handle.
The jack and jack handle are stored under
the floor of the cargo area.
6. Remove the spare tire.
Refer to the sections “Spare tire” in this
chapter for its location, instructions and
precautions.
Carefully read the section “Temporary
spare tire” in this chapter and strictly fol-
low the instructions.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it. 7. Insert the tip (wrapped in vinyl tape or
a cloth) of a flat-head screwdriver into the
slot between the wheel and cap. Use it to remove the cap.
8. Loosen the wheel nuts using the wheel nut wrench but do not remove the nuts.
9. Place the jack under the side sill at the
front or rear jack-up point closest to the flat
tire.
Turn the jackscrew by hand until the jack

use your foot on the wheel nut wrench or
a pipe extension on the wrench because
you may exceed the specified torque.
Have the wheel nut torque checked at the
nearest automotive service facility.
16.Store the flat tire in the spare tire hold- er.
Refer to the sections “Spare tire” in this
chapter for its location, instructions and
precautions.
„Tire pressure monitoring sys- tem (TPMS)
The tire pressure monitoring system pro-
vides the driver with the warning message
indicated by sending a signal from a sen-
sor that is installed in each wheel when
tire pressure is severely low.
The tire pressure monitoring system will
activate only when the vehicle is driven.
Also, this system may not react immedi-
ately to a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a blow-out caused running over
a sharp object).
Do not use the extension when turn-
ing the wheel nuts. If you did, you
would not be able to achieve suffi-
cient tightening torque. The wheel
nuts could then come loose, result-
ing in a serious accident.

y When stowing a flat tire in the
spare tire holder, turn the hoist
shaft end only slowly. If it is
turned quickly, the wheel disc of
the flat tire could be damaged.
y A full-size flat tire should be
stowed in the spare tire holder in
an emergency only. After havingthe flat tire repaired, immediately
swap it with the temporary spare tire.
y Remember that the tread width of
a flat tire is wider than that of the
temporary spare tire. When carry-
ing a flat tire stowed in the spare
tire holder, make sure the tire
does not touch any obstacles.
Never place a tire or tire changing
tools in the passenger compartment
after changing wheels. In a sudden
stop or collisions, loose equipment
could strike occupants and cause
injury. Store the tire and all tools in
the proper place.
