1) Warning messageMake sure to depress the brake pedal
once the vehicle has been stopped by
automatic braking. Until the brake pedal is
depressed, a message will be displayed
on the center information display and the
continuous beep will remain sounding.
At this time, a warning message is also
displayed on the combination meter
display (color TFT).
NOTEThe sonar audible alarm and auto-
matic braking are different in opera-
tion conditions. Therefore there are
cases in which only one of these func-
tions will activate.

Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) (If Equipped)Low tire pressure warning lightThe tire pressure monitoring system
provides the driver with the warning
message indicated by sending a signal
from a sensor that is installed in each
wheel when tire pressure is severely low.
The tire pressure monitoring system will
activate only when the vehicle is driven.
Also, this system may not react immedi-
ately to a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a blow-out caused by running
over a sharp object).

WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly. Instead,
perform the following procedure.
Otherwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and
serious personal injury could
occur.
(1) Keep driving straight ahead
while gradually reducing
speed.(2) Slowly pull off the road to asafe place.(3) Check the pressure for allfour tires and adjust the pres-
sure to the CO LD tire pres-
sure shown on the vehicle
placard on the center pillar on
the driver’s side.If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may have signifi-
cant damage and a fast leak that
causes the tire to lose air rapidly.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as pos-
sible.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/trans-
mitter being transferred, the low
tire pressure warning light will
illuminate steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute.
This indicates the TPMS is unable
to monitor all four road wheels.
Contact your SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible for tire and
sensor replacement and/or
system resetting.When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealant, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid
sealant is used, contact your
nearest SUBARU dealer or other
qualified service shop as soon as
possible. Make sure to replace
the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter when replacing
the tire. You may reuse the wheel
if there is no damage to it and if
the sealant residue is properly
cleaned off.
If the light illuminates steadily
after blinking for approximately
one minute, promptly contact a
SUBARU dealer to have the sys-
tem inspected.

Exterior Care

Appearance Care10

▼
Using a warm water washer
Keep a good distance of 12 in (30 cm)
or more between the washer nozzle and
the vehicle.
Do not wash the same area continu-
ously.
If a stain will not come out easily, wash
by hand. Some warm water washers are
of the high temperature, high pressure
type, and they can damage or deform the
resin parts such as mouldings, or cause
water to leak in to the vehicle.
■
Waxing and Polishing
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing and polishing.
Use a good quality polish and wax and
apply them according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Wax or polish when
the painted surface is cool. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim,
as well as the painted surfaces. Loss of
wax on a painted surface leads to loss of
the original luster and also quickens the
deterioration of the surface. It is recom-
mended that a coat of wax be applied at
least once a month, or whenever the
surface no longer repels water.
If the appearance of the paint has dimin-
ished to the point where the luster or tone
cannot be restored, lightly polish the
surface with a fine-grained compound.
Never polish just the affected area, but
include the surrounding area as well.
Always polish in only one direction. A No.
2000 grain compound is recommended.
Never use a coarse-grained compound.
Coarser grained compounds have a
smaller grain-size number and could
damage the paint. After polishing with a
compound, coat with wax to restore the
original luster. Frequent polishing with a
compound or an incorrect polishing tech-
nique will result in removing the paint layer
and exposing the undercoat. When in
doubt, it is always best to contact your
SUBARU dealer or an auto paint
specialist.
NOTEBe careful not to block the windshield
washer nozzles with wax when waxing
the vehicle.■
Cleaning Alloy Wheels
Promptly wipe the alloy wheels clean of
any kind of grime or agent. If dirt is left on
too long, it may be difficult to clean off.
Do not use soap containing grit to clean
the wheels. Be sure to use a neutral
cleaning agent, and later rinse thoroughly
with water. Do not clean the wheels with a
stiff brush or expose them to a high-speed
washing device.
Clean the vehicle (including the alloy
wheels) with water as soon as possible
when it has been splashed with sea water,
exposed to sea breezes, or driven on
roads treated with salt or other agents.
CAUTION
Be careful not to damage brake
hoses, sensor harnesses, and
other parts when washing
suspension components.Be careful not to flush the engine
bottom for a long time. It may
cause damage of some electrical
parts.
CAUTION
Do not use any agents with organic
solvents on the surface of the bulb
assembly cover. However, if a pol-
ish or wax with organic solvents is
applied to the cover surface, com-
pletely wipe off the polish or wax.
Otherwise, the cover surface may
be damaged.

Tire Inspection
Check on a daily basis that the tires
are free from serious damage, nails,
and stones. At the same time, check
the tires for abnormal wear.
Contact your SUBARU dealer
immediately if you find any problem.NOTEWhen the wheels and tires
strike curbs or are subjected to
harsh treatment as when the
vehicle is driven on a rough surface, they can suffer damage
that cannot be seen with the
naked eye. This type of damage
does not become evident until
time has passed. Try not to drive
over curbs, potholes or on other
rough surfaces. If doing so is
unavoidable, keep the vehicle’s
speed down to a walking pace or
less, and approach the curbs as
squarely as possible. Also, make
sure the tires are not pressed
against the curb when you park
the vehicle.
If you feel unusual vibration
while driving or find it difficult to
steer the vehicle in a straight line,
one of the tires and/or wheels
may be damaged. Drive slowly to
the nearest authorized SUBARU
dealer and have the vehicle
inspected.
Tires should be replaced if:
– You have tire damage such
as cuts, splits, cracks deep
enough to expose the fabric or
bulges indicating internal
damage
WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not illuminate briefly after the
ignition switch is turned ON or the
light illuminates steadily after blink-
ing for approximately one minute,
you should have your Tire Pressure
Monitoring System checked at a
SUBARU dealer as so on as possi-
ble.If this light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly. Instead, per-
form the following procedure. Oth-
erwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.1) Keep driving straight ahead while gradually reducing speed.2) Slowly pull off the road to a safeplace.If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may have significant
damage and a fast leak that causes
the tire to lose ai r rapidly. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the low tire pres-
sure warning light will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble for tire and sensor replacement
and/or system resetting. If the light
illuminates steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute,
promptly contact a SUBARU dealer
to have the system inspected.
