D: ADJUSTMENT
When the following replacement, removal and in-
stallation are performed, be sure to perform center-
ing of the steering angle sensor and zero point
setting of the yaw rate & G sensor.
•VDCCM&H/U
•Steering angle sensor
•Yaw rate & lateral G sensor
•Steering wheel parts (Including airbag)
•Suspension parts
•Wheel alignment adjustment
1) Park the vehicle straight on a level surface. (En-
gine operation in the “P” or “N” range)
2) Check that steering wheel is positioned at the
center. (When the center position is not correct, ad-
just the wheel alignment.)
3) Set the Subaru Select Monitor to the vehicle,
and select {Set up mode for Neutral of Steering An-
gle Sensor & Lateral G Sensor 0 point} in the
“Function check sequence” screen. (Follow the
procedures shown in the display.)
4) On the “Brake Control System” display screen,
select {Current Data Display & Save}, and check
that the steering angle sensor shows “0 deg”.
5) When the “0 deg” is not displayed, repeat the
above steps and check that the “0 deg” is dis-
played.
6) Drive the vehicle for 10 minutes, and check that
the ABS and VDC warning light is not illuminated.
7) Check that there is no unnecessary VDC opera-
tion or steering control loss. If there is a problem,
repeat the steps above.

Aluminum Wheel
WHEEL AND TIRE SYSTEM
3. Aluminum Wheel
A: REMOVAL
1) Apply the parking brake, and position select le-
ver to “P” or “LOW”.
2) Set the shop jacks or a lift to the specified points,
and support the vehicle with its wheels slightly con-
tacting the floor.
3) Loosen the wheel nuts.
4) Raise the vehicle until its wheels are off the
ground using the jack or a lift.
5) Remove the wheel nuts and wheels.
NOTE:
•When removing the wheels, be careful not to
damage the hub bolts.
•Place the wheels with their outer sides facing up-
ward to prevent wheels from being damaged.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Remove dirt from the mating surface of the
wheel and brake rotor.
2) Attach the wheel to the hub by aligning the wheel
bolt holes with the hub bolts.
3) Temporarily attach the wheel nuts to the hub
bolts. (In the case of aluminum wheels, use SUBA-
RU genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.)
4) Tighten the nuts by hand, making sure the wheel
hub hole is aligned correctly to the guide portion of
hub.
5) Tighten the wheel nuts in a diagonal selection to
the specified torque. Use a wheel nut wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
110 N·m (11.2 kgf-m, 81.1 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
•Tighten the wheel nuts in two or three steps
by gradually increasing the torque on opposing
nuts, until they reach the specified torque.
•Do not push the wrench by foot. Always use
both hands when tightening the nuts.
•Make sure the bolt, nut and the nut seating
surface of the wheel are free from oil.
6) If a wheel is removed for replacement or for re-
pair of a puncture, retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque after driving 1,000 km (600 miles).
C: INSPECTION
1) Deformation or damage to the rim may cause air
leakage. Check the rim flange for deformation,
cracks or damage, and repair or replace as neces-
sary.
2) Jack-up the vehicle until wheels clear the floor.
3) Slowly rotate the wheel to check rim “runout” us-
ing a dial gauge.
Rim runout:
4) If the rim runout exceeds specifications, remove
the tire from wheel and check runout while attach-
ing dial gauge to positions shown in the figure.
5) If the measured runout still exceeds specifica-
tions, replace the wheel.
D: CAUTION
Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. To main-
tain their appearance and safety, be careful of the
following:
1) Do not damage the aluminum wheels during re-
moval, installation, wheel balancing, etc. After re-
moving aluminum wheels, place them on a rubber
mat etc.
2) When washing the aluminum wheel, use neutral
synthetic detergent and water. Avoid using the
cleanser including abrasive, hard brushes or an au-
tomatic car washer.
Axial runout limit Vertical run out limit
1.0 mm (0.039 in)
(1) Approx. 7 mm (0.28 in)

5. “T–type” Tire
A: NOTE
“T–type” tire for temporary use is equipped as a
spare tire.
CAUTION:
•Do not drive at a speed greater than 100 km/h
(62 MPH).
•For the model with tire pressure monitoring
system, the indicator light may blink when run-
ning with the “T-type” tire.
B: REPLACEMENT
Refer to Aluminum Wheels for removal and instal-
lation procedures of the “T–type”. REMOVAL, Aluminum Wheel.>
CAUTION:
The “T–type” tire is only for temporary use. Re-
place with a conventional tire as soon as possi-
ble.
C: INSPECTION
1) Check the tire air pressure.
Specifications:
420 kPa (4.2 kg/cm2, 60 psi)
2) Take stones, glass, nails, etc. out of the tread
groove.
3) Check the tires for deformation, cracks, partial
wear, or wear.
CAUTION:
Replace the tire with a new one if defective.
