inspected. - The EyeSight warning indicator
is illuminated.
- The RAB warning indicator is
illuminated.
 In the following cases, the Reverse

nated.
 In the following ca ses, the functions
may not be able to properly work.
Promptly contact a SUBARU dealer to
have the system inspected. - A sticker, paint, or a chemical is
applied to the sonar sensors or the
rear bumper near the sonar sensor.
- The rear bumper is modified.
- The rear bumper has been
removed and attached.
- The ground clearance is
changed due to the vehicle’s
loading condition or modification.
- There is damage to the sonar
sensors or the rear bumper near the
sonar sensor.
WARNING
If your vehicle is trapped on a rail-
road crossing and you are trying to
escape by reversing through the
crossing gate, the system may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an
obstacle and brake may activate. In
this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator
pedal or cancel the system. To can-
cel the system, refer to "Canceling
the Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) System Operation" P285.

- The vehicle is significantly
inclined.
- The ground clearance is signifi-
cantly reduced due to the vehicle’s
loading condition, etc.
- When the sonar sensor is
misaligned due to a collision or an
accident.
Surrounding environment:
- A cloth banner, flag, hanging
branch or railroad crossing bars are
present in the reversing direction.
- When reversing on a gravel or
grassy area.
- When reversing in an area where
objects or walls are adjacent to the
vehicle such as narrow tunnels,
narrow bridges, narrow roads or
narrow garages.
- Wheel track or hole is present in
the ground of the reversing direc-
tion.
- When reversing over a drainage
cover (grating cover).
- The path of the reversing direc-
tion is inclined such as on a steep
uphill.
- When reversing downhill. - Reversing in a garage with a low

ceiling or a tunnel.
- A curb or step is present in the
reversing direction.
- There is a patch of snow rear-
ward.
- There is a puddle of water.

Winter Driving

Driving Tips8
– CONTINUED –
8-8. Winter Driving■Operation during Cold
WeatherCarry some emergency equipment, such
as a window scraper, a bag of sand,
flares, a small shovel and jumper cables.
Check the battery and cables. Cold
temperatures reduce battery capacity.
The battery must be in good condition to
provide enough power for cold winter
starts.
It normally takes longer to start the engine
in very cold weather conditions. Use an
engine oil of a proper grade and viscosity
for cold weather. Using heavy summer oil
will make it harder to start the engine.
Keep the door locks from freezing by
squirting them with deicer or glycerin.
Forcing a frozen door open may damage
or separate the rubber weather strips
around the door. If the door is frozen, use
hot water to melt the ice, and afterwards
thoroughly wipe the water away.
Use a windshield washer fluid that
contains an antifr eeze solution. Do not
use engine antifreeze or other substitutes
because they may damage the paint of
the vehicle.
If you fill the windshield washer tank with
a fluid with a different concentration from
If all four tires are not the same in
items (a) to (h), serious mechani-
cal damage could be caused to
the drivetrain of the car, and
affect the followings.-Ride-Handling- Braking- Speedometer/Odometer cali-
bration- Clearance between the body
and the tires
It also may be dangerous and
lead to loss of vehicle control,
and it can lead to an accident.
 In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a
seat belt. The driver and all your
passengers should fasten their
seatbelts before st arting to drive
in order to minimize the chance of
serious injury or death. Do not make sharp turns or quick
maneuvers unless absolutely
unavoidable. Such actions are
dangerous as you may lose
control, possibly resulting in a
rollover which could cause death
or serious injury.
 Whenever strong crosswinds are
present, slow do wn sufficiently to
maintain control of your vehicle. Never to drive through pools and
puddles, or roads flooded with
water. Water entering the engine
air intake or the exhaust pipe or
water splashing onto electrical
parts may damage your vehicle
and may cause it to stall. In this
case, contact your SUBARU
dealer immediat ely. Regardless
of its depth, it can wash away the
ground from under your tires,
resulting in possible loss of trac-
tion and even vehicle rollover.
CAUTION
After driving on gravel roads or
rough roads, check the undercar-
riage of the vehicle body for any
damage, deformation, or paint
removal. If you notice any irregulari-
ties, contact a SUBARU dealer for
an inspection as soon as possible.

Tires and Wheels
365
Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
After driving approximately 600
miles (1,000 km), check the wheel
nuts again and retighten any nut
that has become loose.■ Tire ReplacementThe wheels and tires are important and
integral parts of your vehicle’s design;
they cannot be changed arbitrarily. The
tires fitted as standard equipment are opti-
mally matched to the characteristics of the
vehicle and were sele cted to give the best
possible combination of running perfor-
mance, ride comfort, and service life. It is
essential for every tire to have a size and
construction matching those shown on the
tire inflation pressure label and to have a
speed symbol and load index matching
those shown on the tire inflation pressure
label.
Using tires of a non-specified size detracts
from controllability, ride comfort, braking
performance, speedometer accuracy and
odometer accuracy. It also creates incor-
rect body-to-tire clearances and inappro-
priately changes the vehicle’s ground
clearance.
All four tires must be the same in terms of
manufacturer, brand (tread pattern),
construction, and size. You are advised to
replace the tires with new ones that are identical to those fitted as standard equip-
ment.
For safe vehicle operation, SUBARU

recommends replacing all four tires at the
same time.
■ Wheel ReplacementWhen replacing wheels due, for example,
to damage, make sure the replacement
wheels match the specifications of the
wheels that are fitted as standard equip-
ment. Replacement wheels are available
from SUBARU dealers.
WARNING
 When replacing or installing
tire(s), all four tires must be the
same for the following items.
(a) Size(b) Speed symbol(c) Load index(d) Circumference(e) Construction(f) Manufacturer(g) Brand (tread pattern)(h) Degrees of wearFor items (a) to (c), you must
obey the specification that is
printed on the tire inflation pres-
sure label. The tire inflation pres-
sure label is located on the
driver’s center pillar.
If all four tires are not the same in
items (a) to (h), serious mechani-
cal damage could be caused to
the drivetrain of the car, and
affect the followings.-Ride-Handling-Braking- Speedometer/Odometer cali- bration- Clearance between the body
and the tires
It also may be dangerous and
lead to loss of vehicle control,
and it can lead to an accident.
 Use only radial tires. Do not use
radial tires together with belted
bias tires and/or bias-ply tires.
Doing so can dangerously reduce
controllability, resulting in an
accident.
