Tires and Wheels

Maintenance and Service11

■
Wheel Balance
Each wheel was correctly balanced
when your vehicle was new, but the
wheels will become unbalanced as
the tires become worn during use.
Wheel imbalance causes the
steering wheel to vibrate slightly at
certain vehicle speeds and detracts
from the vehicle’s straight-line
stability. It can also cause steering
and suspension system problems
and abnormal tire wear. If you
suspect that the wheels are not
correctly balanced, have them
checked and adjusted by your
SUBARU dealer. Also have them
adjusted after tire repairs and after
tire rotation.
NOTEThe suspension system is
designed to hold each wheel at a
certain alignment (relative to the
other wheels and to the road) for
optimum straight-line stability
and cornering performance.■
Wear Indicators1) New tread
2) Worn tread3)
Tread wear indicator
Each tire incorporates a tread wear
indicator, which becomes visible
when the depth of the tread grooves
decreases to 0.063 in (1.6 mm). A tire must be replaced when the
tread wear indicator appears as a
solid band across the tread.
NOTEFor safety, inspect the tire tread
regularly and replace the tires
before their tread wear indicators
become visible.
CAUTION
Loss of correct wheel align-
ment causes the tires to wear
on one side and reduces the
vehicle’s running stability.
Contact your SUBARU dealer
if you notice abnormal tire
wear.

WARNING
When a tire’s tread wear indi-
cator becomes visible, the tire
is worn beyond the accept-
able limit and must be
replaced immediately. With a
tire in this condition, driving at
high speeds in wet weather
can cause the vehicle to
hydroplane. The resulting loss
of vehicle control can lead to
an accident.

WARNING
Before beginning work on or near
any battery, be sure to extinguish
all cigarettes, matches, and
lighters. Never expose a battery
to an open flame or electric
sparks. Batteries give off a gas
which is highly flammable and
explosive.For safety, in case an explosion
does occur, wear eye protection
or shield your eyes when working
near any battery. Never lean over
a battery.Do not let battery fluid contact
eyes, skin, fabrics, or paint
because battery fluid is a corro-
sive acid. If battery fluid gets on
your skin or in your eyes, immedi-
ately flush the area with water
thoroughly. Seek medical help
immediately if acid has entered
the eyes.
If battery fluid is accidentally
swallowed, immediately drink a
large amount of milk or water,
and seek medical attention
immediately.

stop the engine and allow the
exhaust pipes and surrounding
parts to cool suffi ciently. As the
bulbs are near the exhaust pipes,
there is a risk of being burned. Replace any bulb only with a new
bulb of the specified wattage.
Using a bulb of different wattage
could result in a fire. For the spec-
ified wattage of each bulb, refer to
