Use only the jack and the jack
handle provided with your
vehicle. The jack supplied with
the vehicle is designed only for
changing a tire. Never get under
the vehicle while supporting the
vehicle with this jack. Do not jack up the vehicle on an
incline or a loose road surface.
The jack can come out of the
jacking point or sink into the
ground and this can result in
serious injury or death. Before jacking up the vehicle, be
sure that there are no occupants
or cargo on board. Do not jack up the vehicle with an
object on or underneath the jack.

Flat Tires
308Do not use tire chains on a sealed
tire. Do not tow a trailer.If used for a purpose other than
sealing a flat tire, the flat tire
repair kit may cause a severe
accident or injury due to the fact
that compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant. Safely park your vehicle on the
roadside so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic and so
that you are able to seal the flat
tire without being in danger. Apply the parking brake, even if
the vehicle is parked on a level
road, to make sure that the
vehicle will not move. Stop the engine before sealing
the flat tire. Turn on the hazard warning
flasher while sealing the flat tire. Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws that
have penetrated the tire. Leave
them as they are. Never leave the flat tire repair kit
unattended while in use. Only one tire can be repaired with
one bottle of sealant.
 The tires can be repaired when
the ambient temperature is −22 °F
( − 30 °C) or higher.
CAUTION
 Remember that the flat tire repair
kit only provides temporary
mobility. Regulations concerning
tire repair after usage of flat tire
repair kit may di ffer from country
to country. We recommend that
you consult your SUBARU dealer
or tire dealer for advice. Store the flat tire repair kit safely
and secure it under the floor of
the trunk. Storing it anywhere in
the passenger compartment is
not advisable because it could
strike an occupant in the event of
a sudden stop or collision and
cause injury. Use the flat tire repair kit with
original vehicle tires only. Do not keep the air compressor
operating for more than 10
minutes, otherwise there is a risk
of overheating. The temperature of the air
compressor may become high.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
When raining, take measures to
prevent the air compressor from
being exposed directly to the
rain. Exposing to rain may cause
a malfunction. Do not use air compressors other
than the one in the repair kit.
Using an air compressor other
than the one in the repair kit may
damage the tires. Do not disassemble or modify the
air compressor to enable the use
of a power supply or a battery
other than DC 12 V. If a temporary puncture repair is
performed with the repair kit, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped) may not
operate normally.

cause the headlights to become
misaligned. In such a case, have the
headlight alignment checked by a
SUBARU dealer after transporting
the vehicle by flat-bed truck.
