.Do not tow a trailer.
.If used for a purpose other than
sealing a flat tire, the flat tire
repair kit may cause a severe
accident or injury due to the fact
that compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
.Safely park your vehicle on the
roadside so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic and
so that you are able to seal the flat
tire without being in danger.
.Apply the parking brake, even if
the vehicle is parked on a level
road, to make sure that the vehi-
cle will not move.
.Stop the engine before sealing
the flat tire.
.Turn on the hazard warning
flasher while sealing the flat tire.
.Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws that
have penetrated the tire. Leave
them as they are.
.Never leave the flat tire repair kit
unattended while in use.
.Only one tire can be repaired with
one bottle of sealant.
.The tires can be repaired when
the ambient temperature is 228F( 308C) or higher.

.Remember that the flat tire repair
kit only provides temporary mo-
bility. Regulations concerning
tire repair after usage of flat tire
repair kit may differ from country

.Store the flat tire repair kit safely
and secure it in the cargo area.
Storing it anywhere in the pas-
senger compartment is not advi-
sable because it could strike an
occupant in the event of a sudden
stop or collision and cause injury.
.Use the flat tire repair kit with
original vehicle tires only.
.Do not keep the air compressor
operating for more than 10 min-
utes, otherwise there is a risk of
overheating.
.The temperature of the air com-
pressor may become high. Be
careful not to burn yourself.
.When raining, take measures to
prevent the air compressor frombeing exposed directly to the
rain. Exposing to rain may cause
a malfunction.
.Do not use air compressors other
than the one in the repair kit.
Using an air compressor other
than the one in the repair kit may
damage the tires.
.Do not disassemble or modify the
air compressor to enable the use
of a power supply or a battery
other than DC12V.

Engine overheating
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap until the engine has been shut
off and has fully cooled down. When
the engine is hot, the coolant is
under pressure. Removing the cap
while the engine is still hot could
release a spray of boiling hot cool-
ant, which could burn you very
seriously.
If the engine overheats, safely pull off the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
location.&If steam is coming from the
engine compartment.Turn off the engine and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down.
.Contact an authorized SUBARU deal-
er.
&If no steam is coming from the
engine compartment1. Keep the engine running at idling
speed.
2. Open the engine hood to ventilate the
engine compartment. Refer to“Engine
hood”F11-9.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off
the engine and contact an authorized
SUBARU dealer for repair.
3. After the engine coolant temperature
has dropped, turn off the engine.Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating rangeIf temperature gauge stays in the over-
heated zone, turn off the engine. Refer to
“Temperature gauge”F3-11.4. After the engine has fully cooled down,
check the coolant level in the reserve tank.
If the coolant level is below the“LOW”
mark, add coolant up to the“FULL”mark.
NOTEFor details about how to check the
coolant level or how to add coolant,
refer to“Engine coolant”F11-17.
5. If there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, add coolant to the reserve tank. Then
remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator
with coolant.
If you remove the radiator cap from a hot
radiator, first wrap a thick cloth around the
radiator cap, then turn the cap counter-
clockwise slowly without pressing down
until it stops. Release the pressure from
the radiator. After the pressure has been
fully released, remove the cap by pressing
down and turning it.
