5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire (vehicles with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system)
The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will
not turn off even though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare
tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a few min-
utes.
■If the tire pressure monitoring system is inoperative (if equipped)
The tire pressure monitoring system will be disabled in the following con-
ditions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.)
●If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters are used.
●If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●If the tire inflation pressure is 55 psi (380 kPa, 3.87 kgf/cm 2
or bar) or
higher.
The tire pressure monitoring system may be disabled in the following
conditions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.)
●If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave frequencies
are nearby.
●If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle.
●If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular around the
wheels or wheel housings.
●If non-genuine SUBARU wheels are used. (Even if you use SUBARU
wheels, the tire pressure monitoring system may not work properly
with some types of tires.)
●If tire chains are used.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■Avoiding a discharged battery
●Turn off the headlights and the air conditioning system while the engine is
off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
■Precautions when the battery is discharged (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system)
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the key-
less access with push button start system when the battery is dis-
charged. Use the remote keyless entry system or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a
malfunction.
●The push-button ignition switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When
the battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in
before the battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn
the push-button ignition switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the push-button ignition switch was in
before the battery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting
the battery.

6-1. Specifications
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.

For owners
Système avancé d'airbags frontaux SUBARUVotre véhicule est équipé d'un système avancé d'airbags frontaux
SUBARU, conforme aux nouvelles conditions des airbags frontaux
avancés dans la norme Federal Motor Vehicle Safety amendée
(FMVSS) No. 208.
Le système avancé d'airbags frontaux SUBARU détermine
automatiquement la force de déploiement de l'airbag frontal SRS du
conducteur au moment du déploiement, et également l'activation ou
non de l'airbag frontal SRS du passager avant et, si activé, la force
de déploiement de l'airbag SRS frontal et le moment de déploiement.
Votre véhicule a des autocollants de sécurité sur les pare-soleils du
conducteur et du passager avant commençant par les mots “EVEN
WITH ADVANCED AIR BAGS” et une étiquette attachée au
couvercle de la boîte à gants commençant par les mots “Even with
Advanced Air Bags”. Assurez-vous de lire avec attention les
instructions sur les autocollants de sécurité et les étiquettes.
Attachez toujours votre ceinture de sécurité. Le système avancé
d'airbags frontaux SUBARU est un système de retenue en
complément qui doit être utilisé en combinaison avec une ceinture de
sécurité. Tous les occupants doivent mettre leur ceinture de sécurité
ou être placés dans des sièges de sécurité enfant adaptés.
L'airbag frontal SRS du conducteur est stocké dans la partie centrale
du volant. L'airbag frontal SRS du passager avant est stocké près du
haut du tableau de bord sous une marque “SRS AIRBAG”.
Dans une collision moyenne à sévère, les composants suivant se
déploient. ● Airbag SRS frontal pour le conducteur
● Airbag SRS frontal pour le passager avant
Ces composants complètent les ceintures de sécurité en réduisant
l'impact à la tête et à la poitrine de l'occupant.

DANGER
■Témoin d'alerte SRS
Si le témoin lumineux montre une des conditions suivants, il peut y avoir un
dysfonctionnement avec les prétensionneurs des ceintures de sécurité et/ou
le système d'airbags SRS. Amenez immédiatement votre véhicule au
concessionnaire SUBARU le plus proche pour une vérification du système.
Sans vérification ou réparation adaptée, les prétensionneurs des ceintures
de sécurité et/ou des airbags SRS ne fonctionneront pas correctement en
cas de collision, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures.
●Clignotement du témoin lumineux
●Le témoin lumineux ne s'allume pas quand le contacteur de démarrage est
d'abord mis en position “ON”.
●Éclairage continu du témoin lumineux
●Éclairage du témoin lumineux pendant la conduite
