WARNING
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.
The jack can be unstable and this
can result in a severe accident.

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.
2. Set the parking brake securely and
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
"Maintenance Tools" P302.
NOTEMake sure that the jack is well lubri-
cated before using it.
6. Models with spare tire: Take out the
under-floor storage compartment and turn
the attaching bolt counterclockwise, then
take the spare tire out.
 Always turn off the engine before
raising the flat tire off the ground
using the jack. Never swing or
push the vehicle supported with
the jack. The jack can come out of
the jacking point due to a jolt and
this can result in serious injury or
death. All passengers must exit the
vehicle before you raise it with
the jack. Raising the vehicle with
someone inside of it could result
in serious injury or death. Do not start the vehicle while it is
supported by the jack. Doing so
could result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
Do not hit and bend the disc rotor
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.

7. Loosen the wheel nuts using the wheel
nut wrench but do not remove the nuts.
8. Place the jack under the side sill at the
front or rear jack-up point closest to the flat
tire. Turn the jackscrew by hand until the jack

head engages firmly into the jack-up point.
9. Insert the jack handle into the jack-
screw, and turn the handle until the tire
clears the ground. Do not raise the vehicle
higher than necessary. 10. Remove the wheel nuts and the flat

tire.
11. Before putting the spare tire on, clean
the mounting surface of the wheel and
hub with a cloth.

wheel nuts. Tighten them by hand.
13. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise
to lower the vehicle. 14. Use the wheel nut wrench to securely

tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque, following the tightening order in
the illustration.
For the wheel nut tightening torque, refer
to "Tires" P385. Never use your foot on
the wheel nut wrench or a pipe extension
on the wrench because you may exceed
the specified torque. Have the wheel nut
torque checked at the nearest automotive
service facility.
1) Support holder15. Models with spare tire: Store the flat
tire in the spare tire compartment. Install
with the support holder facing upward and
secure the flat tire by firmly tightening the
attaching bolt.
NOTEIf you cannot fix the fl at tire firmly, try
turning the support holder upside
down.
16. Store the jack, jack handle and wheel
nut wrench in their storage locations.■ Sealing a Flat Tire (Models

CAUTION
If the threaded part was damaged,
you should immediately contact
your SUBARU dealer.
WARNING
Do not use oil or grease on the
wheel studs or nuts when the spare
tire is installed. This could cause
the nuts to become loose and lead
to an accident.

If the tire is punctured, you can seal the
flat tire temporarily by using the flat tire
repair kit. You can seal a flat tire caused,
for example, by nails or similar objects
with less than 0.2 in (4 mm). However,
depending on the type and extent of tire
damage, some tires can only be partially
sealed or not sealed at all, and this condi-
tion may cause a loss of tire pressure. A
loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle
handling, leading to the loss of vehicle
control.
After sealing the flat tire temporarily,
change the tires with new ones as soon as
possible. We recommend that you have
the sealed tire changed by your nearest
SUBARU dealer. You may reuse the
wheel if the attached sealant is wiped off,
but the valve of the wheel must be
replaced with a new one. If you reuse the
wheel without replacing the valve, air may
leak from the valve. For tire replacement, refer to "Tire

Replacement" P365.
▼ Safety precautions when sealing a
flat tireObserve the following rules when sealing
a flat tire.1) Sealing is possible
2) Sealing is not possible
Compliance with these instructions
is vital to ensuring vehicle safety.
Noncompliance with these instruc-
tions means risking tire damage,
which can affect vehicle handling
and lead to loss of vehicle control.
This may result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
 Do not use the flat tire repair kit in
the following cases.
- The tire has already been
damaged as a result of being
driven in the under inflated
condition.
900483

- The tire damage is not located
within the visible tread of the
tire.- The tire damage is on the
sidewall of the tire.- When the tire has been taken
off of the wheel.- The wheel or the tire valve of
the flat tire is damaged.- Two or more tires have been
punctured.- The expiration date of the
sealant has passed.- The tire is punctured by
pointed items such as nails of
0.2 in (4 mm) or larger.
 When inflating the flat tire, if the
tire inflation pressure does not
reach the green zone of the pres-
sure gauge within 10 minutes, do
not continue to seal the tire. We
recommend that you contact your
SUBARU dealer. Drive with caution and avoid
making sudden steering or
driving maneuvers. Do not exceed a maximum speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h). Do not exceed a maximum
driving distance of 125 miles (200
km).

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.
