▼How to seal the flat tireTo 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.

1. Shake the sealant bottle well. Loosen
the hose.1) Valve2. Connect the air compressor hose to
the valve on the bottle.
Connect the hose from the bottle to the tire
valve stem tightly.
3. Turn the bottle upside down and tilt the
bottle cap into the bottle holder of the air
compressor.
Make sure that the air compressor switch
is OFF.
4. Connect the power plug of the air
compressor into the accessory power

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).
NOTE After 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 care ful 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).

3148. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles
(5 km), whichever comes first, stop the vehicle in a safe place to recheck the air

pressure (see step 4).
If necessary, fill the tire with air to the
appropriate air pressure again and drive
carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer
for tire, valve stem and sealant bottle
replacement.
NOTEConnect the air compressor only to
the tire valve.
Before the tire is removed from the rim,
inform your SUBARU dealer or other tire
dealer that the tire contains sealant.
NOTENew sealant and replacement parts
can be purchased from your autho-
rized repair shop or SUBARU dealer,
and they should also be installed into
the kit by a specialist. Empty sealant
bottles and replacement parts must be
returned to your SUBARU dealer or
disposed of in compliance with local
waste disposal regulations.▼ Technical data of air compressor
If heavy vibrations, unsteady
steering behavior or noises occur
while driving, reduce your speed
and drive with caution to a loca-
tion where it is safe for you to
stop the vehicle. Recheck the tire
and its pressure. If the tire pres-
sure is in the red zone of the air
gauge or if there are any cracks,
bumps or similar tire damage
visible, temporary repairs cannot
be performed with the repair kit.
We recommend that you consult
with your SUBARU dealer or road
service provider.

CAUTION
 If the air pressure is in red zone of
the air gauge, the kit did not
successfully seal the puncture. In
this case, please stop driving and
contact your SUBARU dealer for
help. Do not drive your vehicle with the
sealed tire for more than 125
miles (200 km). Failure to replace
the valve stem may result in air
leakage at the valve stem.

■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).

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.

After towing, remove the towing hook from
the vehicle and stow it in the under-floor
storage compartment.
Fit the towing hook cover on the bumper. Front tie-down hooks:
The front tie-down hooks are located

between each of the front tires and the
front bumper.
Front Tie-down Hooks are for tying down
the vehicle. They are not for towing.
Rear tie-down holes:1) Rear tie-down holeThe rear tie-down holes are located near
each of the jack-up reinforcements.
There is a plug in each rear tie-down hole.
To use the rear tie-down holes, remove
the plugs. After using the rear tie-down
WARNING
Do not use the towing hook
except when towing your vehicle. Be sure to remove the towing
hook after towing. Leaving the
towing hook mounted on the
vehicle could interfere with
proper operation of the fuel pump
shut off function when the vehicle
is struck from behind.
CAUTION
To prevent deformation to the
bumper and the towing hook, do not
apply excessive load to the towing
hook.
