NOTEContact a SUBARU dealer when jack-
ing up the vehicle using a garage jack.
1. Park on a hard, level surface, when-
ever possible, then stop the engine.

shift the shift lever in reverse (MT models)
or the select lever to the “P” (Park) posi-
tion (AT models).
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher
and unload all occupants and luggage
from the vehicle.
4. Put wheel blocks at the front and rear
of the tire diagonally opposite the flat tire.5. Take out the jack, jack handle and
wheel nut wrench.
The tools and the spare tire are stored
under the floor of the trunk. Refer to

cated before using it.

backing plate when removing and
installing the tire. A bent backing
plate may scrape against the disc
rotor and cause noise while the
vehicle is in motion.
