WARNING
■When using the compact spare tire
●Remember that your compact spare tire is specifically designed for
use with your vehicle. Do not use your compact spare tire on another
vehicle.
●Do not use two compact spare tires simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possi-
ble.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shift-
ing operations that cause sudden engine braking.
●Install the compact spare tire on a front wheel.
■When storing the compact spare tire
Be careful not to catch fingers or other body parts between the compact
spare tire and the body of the vehicle.
■Speed limit when using the compact spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50 mph (80 km/h) when a compact
spare tire is installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not designed for driving at high speeds. Failing
to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or seri-
ous injury.
■When the spare tire is attached
The vehicle speed may not be correctly detected, and the following sys-
tems may not operate correctly:
●ABS & brake assist
●Vehicle stability control (VSC)
●TRAC
●Electric power steering
●Navigation system (if equipped)

Entretien et soin
■Ceintures de sécurité
Nettoyez avec un chiffon ou une éponge humectée d'eau
savonneuse tiède. Vérifiez régulièrement que les ceintures ne sont
pas effilochées, entaillées ou exagérément usées.
DANGER
■État et usure des ceintures de sécurité
●Évitez d'abîmer les ceintures de sécurité en coinçant dans la porte une
sangle, le pêne ou la boucle.
●Inspectez les ceintures de sécurité périodiquement. Contrôlez qu'elles ne
sont pas entaillées, effilochées et que leurs ancrages ne sont pas
desserrés. Remplacez immédiatement une ceinture de sécurité
défectueuse. Une ceinture de sécurité défectueuse n'apporte aucune
garantie de protection de l'occupant contre des blessures graves, voire
mortelles.
●Vérifiez que le pêne est bien verrouille dans la boucle de ceinture et que
les sangles ne sont pas vrillées.
Si la ceinture de sécurité ne fonctionne pas correctement, contactez
immédiatement votre concessionnaire SUBARU.
●Remplacez le siège avec la ceinture au cas où votre véhicule aurait été
impliqué dans un accident sérieux, même en l'absence de dommage
visible.
●Ne pas essayer d'installer, démonter, modifier ou mettre au rebut les
ceintures de sécurité. Faites effectuer les réparations nécessaires par
votre concessionnaire SUBARU. Une mauvaise manipulation des
prétensionneurs peut en altérer le fonctionnement correct, avec un risque
de blessures graves, voire mortelles.
