WARNING:
Always refer to “Air Bag System” before per-
forming the service operation.
17) Connect ground cable to battery.
CAUTION:
After completion of installation, adjust the fol-
lowing two positions.
•Positioning to the center of steering angle
sensor
•Positioning of the yaw rate & lateral G sen-
sors to zero.

nector in the engine compartment.
3) Remove the sensor harness from the clip.
4) Remove the clip which secures the sensor har-
ness to the front strut.
5) Remove the front ABS wheel speed sensor from
housing.
CAUTION:
•Be careful not to damage the sensor.
•Do not apply excessive force to the sensor
harness.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque:
7.5 N·m (0.76 kgf-m, 5.5 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the sensor.
NOTE:
•Check the identification (mark) on the harness to
make sure there is no warpage. (W1 (White))
•Check if the harness is not pulled and does not
come in contact with the suspension or body during
steering wheel effort.
C: INSPECTION
1. CHECK WITH SUBARU SELECT MONI-
TOR
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the data
link connector.
2) Select {Current Data Display & Save}. Check if
the speed indicated on the display changes in the
same manner as the speedometer reading during
acceleration/deceleration when the steering wheel
is in the straight-ahead position.
3) If the speed indicated on the display does not
change, check the ABS wheel speed sensor.

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.
