How to seal the flat tire
To seal the flat tire, perform the following
steps.
First, pump in the sealant and air. Drive
the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km) so that the sealant can
seal the damaged area.
Stop the vehicle again, check and, if
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tire.
After that, you can continue to drive
carefully no faster than 50 mph (80 km/h)
and within the maximum distance of 125
miles (200 km).
Inform all other users of the vehicle that
the tire has been temporarily sealed with
the flat tire repair kit and make them aware
of the special driving conditions to be
observed.
WARNING
Do not drink the sealant. If the
sealant is accidentally swal-
lowed, seek medical attention
immediately.If the sealant splashes onto your
skin or eyes, wash it away imme-
diately with plen ty of water. If
necessary, seek medical atten-
tion immediately. Keep the flat tire repair kit out of
the reach of children.

If a person who is allergic to
natural rubber comes in contact
the sealant, allergy symptoms
may occur.
CAUTION
Replace the sealant bottle with a
new one before the expiration date
passes.

312outlet. Apply the parking brake and turn on
the ignition switch to the “ACC” position.Turn the air compressor switch on and
adjust the air pressure to the appropriate
level (green zone of the air gauge).
NOTEAfter the compressor starts to
operate, the air pressure will tempo-
rarily rise to 45 psi (300 kPa, 3.0 kgf/
cm
2) or higher. After about 30 seconds
when all of the sealant is inside the tire,
the air pressure will lower, repre-
senting the air pressure in the tire.
In extremely low temperatures −22°F
to −4°F ( −30°C to − 20°C), the viscosity
of the sealant increases and the
sealant will flow more slowly. In such
temperatures, bring the sealant into
the vehicle to warm it up before use.
When mending the tire, if the air
pressure gauge is hard to read, turn
the compressor switch off once to get
an accurate reading. 5. While filling the tire with air, attach the
speed limit label on the position shown in
the illustration.

CAUTION
Do not run the air compressor for
more than 10 minutes as it can
get hot. Be careful not to get
burned.If tire pressure doesn’t reach the
green zone for 10 minutes, this kit
will be unable to seal the tire.
Please contact your SUBARU
dealer for help.
WARNING
Do not attach the speed limit label
in a position where the label hides
the warning lamp or on the steering
wheel. It may interfere with the nor-
mal operation of the airbag and lead
to a critical failure.

6. Turn the air compressor power switch
off when the air pressure reaches the
green zone of the air gauge.
Remove the power plug from the acces-
sory power socket.
Remove the hose after filling the tire with
air and fasten the valve cap. Connect the hose of the bottle to the valve
of the bottle in a circular fashion to avoid
leakage of the remaining sealant.
7. Stow the kit back in the vehicle and
drive your vehicle immediately for 10
minutes or 3 miles (5 km).

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).
702780
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.

Refer to "Combination Meter Display

9-4. Jump Starting■
Battery Precautions
When your vehicle does not start due to a
run down (discharged) battery, the vehicle
may be jump started by connecting your
battery to another battery (called the
booster battery) with jumper cables.
702781
WARNING
Battery fluid is SULFURIC ACID.
Do not let it come in contact with
the eyes, skin, clothing or the
vehicle.
If battery fluid gets on you, thor-
oughly flush the exposed area
with water immedi ately. Get med-
ical help if the fluid has entered
your eyes.If battery fluid is accidentally
swallowed, imme diately drink a
large amount of milk or water,
and obtain immediate medical
help.Keep everyone including chil-
dren away from the battery.
The gas generated by a battery
explodes if a flame or spark is
brought near it. Do not smoke or
light a match while jump starting.Never attempt jump starting if the
discharged battery is frozen. It
could cause the battery to burst
or explode.
Whenever working on or around a
battery, always wear suitable eye
protectors, and remove metal
objects such as rings, bands or
other metal jewelry.Be sure the jumper cables and
clamps on them do not have
loose or missing insulation.Do not jump start unless cables in
suitable condition are available.A running engine can be
dangerous. Keep your fingers,
hands, clothing, hair and tools
away from the cooling fan, belts
and any other moving engine
parts. Removing rings, watches
and ties is advisable.Jump starting is dangerous if it is
done incorrectly. If you are
unsure about the proper proce-
dure for jump starting, consult a
competent mechanic.

Engine Overheating

In Case of Emergency9
9-5. Engine Overheating■
If Steam Is Coming from the
Engine Compartment
Turn off the engine and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down.
■
If No Steam Is Coming from
the Engine Compartment
1. Keep the engine running at idling
speed.
2. Open the hood to ventilate the engine
compartment. Refer to "Engine Hood"
P343.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off
the engine and contact your authorized
dealer for repair.
3. After the engine coolant temperature
has dropped, turn off the engine.
If the temperature gauge stays in the over-
heated zone, turn off the engine.
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 "Eng ine Coolant"
P349.
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
counterclockwise 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.
WARNING
Never 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 coolant,
which could burn you very seri-
ously.
CAUTION
If the engine overheats, the engine
speed or the vehicle speed may be
reduced. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place immediately.
