&Removing the spare tire
1. Take the wheel nut wrench and exten-sion out of the tool bag. Refer to“Main-tenance tools”F9-19.
2. Remove the subfloor storage lid in thecargo area.
3. Take out the jack.
4. Locate the hex-head hoist shaft endinside the hole.
5. Fit the extension onto the hex-headhoist shaft end.
6. Fit the wheel nut wrench onto theextension.
7. Turn the hoist shaft end counterclock-wise with the wheel nut wrench until the
temporary spare tire is on the ground withenough cable slack to allow you to pull itout from under the vehicle.
CAUTION
.Be sure to remove (not simplykeep it open) the subfloor sto-ragelid before turning the wheelnut wrench, otherwise the lidmay be damaged.
.Do not put your fingers into thecenter hole of the temporaryspare tire while you pulling itout, because they might bepinched in between the wheelandthe retainer.

and pull it through the center of thetemporary spare tire.
9. After the temporary spare tire isremoved from the cable, the cable mustbe wound up completely by turning thehoist nut shaft clockwise until you hear aclicking sound. Also visually inspect thecable to make certain that there is nolonger any slack present.
WARNING
.Do not use the extension whenturning the wheel nuts. If you did,you would not be able to achievesufficient tightening torque. Thewheel nuts could then comeloose, resulting in a seriousaccident.
.When using the spare tire hoist:
After the temporary spare tire isremoved from the cable, wind thecable up completely until theretainer at end of the cable sitsagainst the underside of thevehicle. Driving with the cablenot retracted fully could result indamage to the adjacent underfloor partsand lead to a seriousaccident.
.The spare tire holder is designedto carry only the following kindsof tires.
–the temporaryspare tire thatcame with your vehicle
–a full-size flat tire
A full size flat tire should bestowed in the spare tire holderin an emergency only. After hav-ing the full-sizeflat tire repaired,immediately swap it with thetemporary spare tire.
Never stow a full-size tire that isnot flat in the spare tire holder.Doing so can result in damage toadjacent under floor parts andcan lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
When using the spare tire hoist:
Do not use air tools or power toolsto turn the spare tire hoist shaft end.If you do, it could result in severemechanical damage to the spare tirehoist.
&Re-storage of spare tire
1. Turn the spare tire hoist shaft endcounterclockwise with the wheel nutwrench to loosen the cable sufficientlyenough to allow the cable end retainer gothrough center hole of the temporaryspare tire.
2. Insert the retainer through the centerhole of the temporary tire (with the outside

of the tire facing up).
3. Turn the hoist shaft end clockwise withthe wheel nut wrench to wind the cable upcompletely until you hear a few clickingsounds.Confirm that the temporary sparetire holding cable has been wound upcompletely by shaking the temporary tire.
CAUTION
If the temporary spare tire is notstored securely, it could damageadjacent areas of the vehicle andmake an abnormal noise.
4. Place the wheel nut wrench andextension back into the tool bag and storethe jackand tool bag in their storagelocations.
5. Fit the lid of the cargo area.
CAUTION
.When stowing a flat tire in thespare tire holder, turn the hoistshaft end only slowly. If it isturned quickly, the wheel disc ofthe flat tire could be damaged.
.Afull-sizeflattireshouldbestowed in the spare tire holderin an emergency only. After hav-ingthe flat tire repaired, immedi-ately swap it with the temporaryspare tire.
.Remember that the tread width ofa flat tire is wider than that of thetemporary spare tire. When car-rying a flat tire stowed in thespare tire holder, make sure thetiredoes not touch any obsta-cles.
Temporary spare tire
WARNING
.Never tow a trailer when thetemporary spare tire is used.The temporary spare tire is notdesigned to sustain the towingload. Use of the temporary sparetire when towing can result infailure of the spare tire and/orless stability of the vehicle andmay lead to an accident.
.When a spare tire is mounted or awheel rim is replaced without theoriginal pressure sensor/trans-mitter being transferred, the lowtire pressure warning light willilluminate steadily after blinkingfor approximately one minute.This indicates the tire pressuremonitoring system (TPMS) is un-able to monitor all four roadwheels. Contact your SUBARUdealer as soon as possible fortire and sensor replacement and/or system resetting.
