2014 SUBARU TRIBECA spare wheel

that cannot be seen with the naked eye.This type of damage does not becomeevident until time has passed. Try notto drive over curbs, potholes or onother rough surfaces. If doing so isunavoidable, keep the vehicle’s speeddown to a walking pace or less, andapproach the curbs as squarely aspossible. Also, make sure the tires arenot pressed against the curb when youpark the vehicle..If you feel unusual vibration whiledriving or find it difficult to steer thevehicle in a straight line, one of thetires and/or wheels may be damaged.Drive slowly to the nearest authorizedSUBARU dealer and have the vehicleinspected.
&Tire pressures and wear
Maintaining the correct tire pressureshelps to maximize the tires’service livesand is essential for good running perfor-mance. Check and, if necessary, adjustthe pressure of each tire (including thespare) at least once a month (for example,during a fuel stop) and before any longjourney.
Check the tire pressures when the tiresare cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjustthe tirepressures to the values shown onthe tire placard. The tire placard is locatedon the door pillar on the driver’s side.
Driving even a short distance warms upthe tires and increases the tire pressures.Also, the tire pressures are affected by theoutside temperature. It is best to check tirepressure outdoors before driving thevehicle.
When a tire becomes warm, the air insideit expands, causing the tire pressure toincrease. Be careful not to mistakenlyreleaseair from a warm tire to reduce itspressure.
NOTE
.The air pressure in a tire increasesby approximately 4.3 psi (30 kPa, 0.3kgf/cm2) when the tire becomes warm..The tires are considered cold whenthe vehicle has been parked for at least3 hours or has been driven less than 1mile (1.6 km).
WARNING
Do not let air out of warm tires toadjust pressure. Doing so will resultin low tire pressure.
Incorrect tire pressures detract from con-trollability and ride comfort, and theycause the tires to wear abnormally.

*1: This torque is equivalent to applying the following load at the end of the wheel nut wrench.When you use a wheel nut wrench of the10.8-inch (275 mm)length: Approximately 96 to 115 lbf (43 to 52 kgf)When you use a wheel nut wrench of the13.2-inch (335 mm)length: Approximately 73 to 87 lbf (33 to 40 kgf)If you have tightened the wheel nuts by yourself, have the tightening torque checked at the nearest automotive service facility as soon as possible.
*2: This torque is equivalent to applying approximately 87 to 109 lbf (40 to 49 kgf) at the end of the wheel nut wrench with a length of13.2 inches (335mm). If you have tightened the wheel nuts by yourself, have the tightening torque checked at the nearest automotive service facility as soon as possible.
