Corrosion Protection
334Do not use detergent on the wheels
when they are hot, such as after driving or
parking in hot weather.■
Alloy Wheels (Vehicles with
Matte P ainted Wheels)
As matte painted wheels require different
cleaning methods than conventional alloy
wheels, be sure to observe the following.
For details, consult your SUBARU dealer.
Remove dirt using water. If the wheels
are excessively dirty, use a sponge or soft
cloth dampened with a diluted neutral
detergent to remove the dirt.
 To prevent the matte paint from being
damaged, make sure to observe the
following precautions:
- Do not scrub or polish the wheels
using a brush or dry cloth.
- Do not use any wheel coatings or
abrasive detergents.
10-2. Corrosion ProtectionYour SUBARU has been designed and
built to resist corrosi on. Special materials
and protective finishes have been used on
most parts of the vehicle to help maintain
fine appearance, strength, and reliable
operation.■
Most Common Causes of
Corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
are:
 The accumulation of moisture retaining
dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas.
 Damage to paint and other protective
coatings caused by gravel and stone
chips or minor accidents.
Corrosion is accelera ted on the vehicle
when:
 It is exposed to road salt or dust control
chemicals, or used in coastal areas where
there is more salt in the air, or in areas
where there is considerable industrial
pollution.
 It is driven in areas of high humidity,
especially when temperatures range just
above freezing.
 Dampness in certain parts of the
vehicle remains for a long time, even though other parts of the vehicle may be
dry.

High temperatures will cause corrosion
to parts of the vehicle which cannot dry
quickly due to lack of proper ventilation.
■
To Help Prevent Corrosion
Wash the vehicle regularly to prevent
corrosion of the body and suspension
components. Also, wash the vehicle
promptly after driving on any of the
following surfaces.
 Roads that have been salted to prevent
them from freezing in winter
 Mud, sand, or gravel
 Coastal roads
After the winter has ended, it is recom-
mended that the underbody be given a
very thorough washing.
Before the beginning of winter, check the
condition of underbody components, such
as the exhaust system, fuel and brake
lines, brake cables, suspension, steering
system, floor pan, and fenders. If any of
them are found to be rusted, they should
be given an appropriate rust prevention
treatment or should be replaced. Contact
your SUBARU dealer to perform this kind
of maintenance and treatment if you need
assistance.
Repair chips and scratches in the paint as
soon as you find them.

Tires and Wheels
362Roadholding is good, and steering
is responsive. Rolling resistance is
low, so fuel consumption is also
lower.
Under inflated tires (tread worn at
shoulders) Rolling resistance is high, so fuel
consumption is also higher.

Over inflated tires (tread worn in
center) Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire
magnifies the effects of road
surface bumps and dips, possibly
resulting in vehicle damage.

WARNING
Driving at high speeds with
excessively low tire pressures
can cause the tires to deform
severely and to rapidly
become hot. A sharp increase
in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruc-
tion of the tires. The resulting
loss of vehicle control could
lead to an accident.

Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
■
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.

Tire Information

Consumer Information and Reporting Safety Defects13
– CONTINUED –
The vehicle placard shows original
tire size, recommended cold tire
inflation pressure on each tire at
maximum loaded vehicle weight,
seating capacity and loading infor-
mation.
▼Adverse safety consequences
of under-inflation
Driving at high speeds with exces-
sively low tire pressures can cause
the tires to flex severely and to
rapidly become hot. A sharp
increase in temperature could
cause tread separation, and failure
of the tire(s). Possible resulting loss
of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
▼ Measuring and adjusting air
pressure to achieve proper
inflation
Check and, if necessary, adjust the
pressure of each tire (including the
spare) at least once a month and
before any long journey. Check the
tire pressures when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the
specific values. Driving even a short
distance warms up the tires and
increases the tire pressures. Also,
the tire pressures are affected by
the outside temperature. It is best to
check tire pressure outdoors before
driving the vehicle. When a tire
becomes warm, t
he air inside it
expands, causing the tire pressure
to increase. Be careful not to
mistakenly release air from a warm
tire to reduce its pressure.
■ Glossary of Tire TerminologyAccessory weight
The combined weight (in excess of
those standard items which may be
replaced) of automatic transmis-
sion, power steering, power brakes,
power windows, power seats, radio,
and heater, to the extent that these
items are available as factory-
installed equipment (whether
installed or not).
 Bead
The part of the tire that is made of
steel wires, wrapped or reinforced by ply cords and that is shaped to fit
the rim.

Bead separation
A breakdown of the bond between
components in the bead.
 Bias ply tire
A pneumatic tire in which the ply
cords that extend to the beads are
laid at alternate an gles substantially
less than 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.
 Carcass
The tire structure, except tread and
sidewall rubber which, when
inflated, bears the load.
 Chunking
The breaking away of pieces of the
tread or sidewall.
 Cold tire pressure
The pressure in a tire that has been
driven less than 1 mile or has been
standing for three hours or more.
 Cord
The strands forming the plies in the
tire.
