Safety Precautions When Driving
9
Introduction
– CONTINUED –
■Use of Cell Phones/Texting
and Driving■Driving Vehicles Equipped
with Audio System
■Driving with PetsUnrestrained pets can interfere with your
driving and distract your attention from
driving. In a collision or sudden stop, unre-
strained pets or cages can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and hurt you or
your passengers. Besides, the pets can
be hurt under these situations. It is also for
their own safety that pets should be prop-
erly restrained in your vehicle. Restrain a
pet with a special traveling harness which
can be secured to the rear seat with a
seatbelt or use a pet carrier which can be
secured to the rear seat by routing a
seatbelt through the carrier’s handle.
Never restrain pets or pet carriers in the
front passenger’s seat. For further infor-
mation, consult your veterinarian, local
animal protection society or pet shop.■ Tire PressuresCheck 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.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the
tire pressures to the values shown on the
tire inflation pressure label. For detailed
information, refer to "Tires and Wheels"
 P358.
■ Attaching Accessories
CAUTION
Do not talk on a cell phone or text
while driving; it may distract your
attention from driving and lead to
an accident. If you use a cell phone
to talk or text, fi rst pull off the road
and park in a safe place. In some
States/Provinces, it may be lawful to
talk on a phone while driving, but
only if the phone is hands-free.
WARNING
Do not allow the monitor to distract
your attention from driving. Also,
do not operate the controls of the
audio system while driving. The
loss of attention to driving could
lead to an accident. If you wish to
operate the controls of the audio
system, first take the vehicle off the
road and stop it in a safe location.
WARNING
Driving at high speeds with
excessively low tire pressures
can cause the tires to deform
severely and to rapidly
become hot. A sharp increase
in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruc-
tion of the tires. The resulting
loss of vehicle control could
lead to an accident.
WARNING
 Do not attach any accessories,
labels or sticke rs (other than
properly placed inspection
stickers) to the windshield. Such
items may obstruct your view. If it is necessary to attach an
accessory (such as an electronic
toll collection (ETC) device or
security pass) to the windshield,
consult your SUBARU dealer for
details on the proper location.

Flat Tires
30612. Put on the spare tire. Replace the
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
with the Flat Tire Repair Kit)
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.

WARNING
Never place a tire or tire changing
tools in the passenger compartment
after changing wheels. In a sudden
stop or collision, loose equipment
could strike occupants and cause
injury. Store the tire and all tools in
the proper place.
WARNING
Read these instructions and
warnings carefully before sealing a
flat tire.

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.
