■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 mo nitoring 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 a
safe place.(3) Check the pressure for all
four 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.

■Tire InspectionCheck 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.NOTE When 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 fi nd 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 safe
place.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, re fer to "Flat Tires"
 P303.
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.

Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
– A tire goes flat repeatedly or
cannot be properly repaired
due to the size or location of a
cut or other damage
If you are not su re, consult with
your SUBARU dealer.
 Any tires over 6 years old must
be checked by a qualified techni-
cian even if they have seldom or
never been used or damage is
not obvious.
■ Tire Pressures and WearMaintaining the correct tire pres-
sures helps to maximize the tires’
service lives and is essential for
good running performance. Check
and, if necessary, adjust the pres-
sure of each tire and the spare (if
equipped) at least once a month
and before any long journey. Tire inflation pressure label
Check the tire pressures when the
tires are cold. Use a pressure gauge
to adjust the tire pressures to the
values shown on the tire inflation
pressure label. The tire inflation
pressure label is located on the
center pillar on the driver’s side.
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, the 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.
NOTE The air pressure in a tire
increases by approximately 4.3
psi (30 kPa, 0.3 kgf/cm
2) when the
tire becomes warm.
 The tires are considered cold
when the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours or has
been driven less than 1 mile (1.6
km).
Incorrect tire pressures detract from
controllability and ride comfort, and
they cause the tires to wear abnor-
mally.
 Correctly inflated tires (tread
worn evenly)
B02109
WARNING
Do not let air out of warm tires
to adjust pressure. Doing so
will result in low tire pressure.

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.
