Flat Tires
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 careful 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.

Towing
324holes, return the plugs to their original
places.■
Using a Flat-Bed Truck
This is the best way to transport your
vehicle. Use the following procedures to
ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the select lever into the “P” posi-
tion for AT models. Shift the shift lever into
the “1st” position for MT models.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier
properly with safety chains. Each safety
chain should be equally tightened and
care must be taken not to pull the chains
so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.

Towing with All Wheels on
the Ground
WARNING
Use the rear tie-down holes only for
downward anchoring. If they are
used to anchor the vehicle in any
other direction, cables may slip out
of the holes, possibly causing a
dangerous situation.

CAUTION
Transport by flat-bed truck may
cause the headlights to become
misaligned. In such a case, have the
headlight alignment checked by a
SUBARU dealer after transporting
the vehicle by flat-bed truck.
WARNING
 Never turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position while the
vehicle is being towed because
the steering wheel and the direc-
tion of the wheels will be locked.Remember that the brake booster
and power steering do not func-
tion when the engine is not
running. Because the engine is
turned off, it w ill take greater
effort to operate the brake pedal
and steering wheel.

Corrosion Protection
334Do not use detergent on the wheels
when they are hot, such as after driving or
parking in hot weather.■
Alloy Wheels (Vehicles with
Matte P ainted Wheels)
As matte painted wheels require different
cleaning methods than conventional alloy
wheels, be sure to observe the following.
For details, consult your SUBARU dealer.
Remove dirt using water. If the wheels
are excessively dirty, use a sponge or soft
cloth dampened with a diluted neutral
detergent to remove the dirt.
 To prevent the matte paint from being
damaged, make sure to observe the
following precautions:
- Do not scrub or polish the wheels
using a brush or dry cloth.
- Do not use any wheel coatings or
abrasive detergents.
10-2. Corrosion ProtectionYour SUBARU has been designed and
built to resist corrosi on. Special materials
and protective finishes have been used on
most parts of the vehicle to help maintain
fine appearance, strength, and reliable
operation.■
Most Common Causes of
Corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
are:
 The accumulation of moisture retaining
dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas.
 Damage to paint and other protective
coatings caused by gravel and stone
chips or minor accidents.
Corrosion is accelera ted on the vehicle
when:
 It is exposed to road salt or dust control
chemicals, or used in coastal areas where
there is more salt in the air, or in areas
where there is considerable industrial
pollution.
 It is driven in areas of high humidity,
especially when temperatures range just
above freezing.
 Dampness in certain parts of the
vehicle remains for a long time, even though other parts of the vehicle may be
dry.

High temperatures will cause corrosion
to parts of the vehicle which cannot dry
quickly due to lack of proper ventilation.
■
To Help Prevent Corrosion
Wash the vehicle regularly to prevent
corrosion of the body and suspension
components. Also, wash the vehicle
promptly after driving on any of the
following surfaces.
 Roads that have been salted to prevent
them from freezing in winter
 Mud, sand, or gravel
 Coastal roads
After the winter has ended, it is recom-
mended that the underbody be given a
very thorough washing.
Before the beginning of winter, check the
condition of underbody components, such
as the exhaust system, fuel and brake
lines, brake cables, suspension, steering
system, floor pan, and fenders. If any of
them are found to be rusted, they should
be given an appropriate rust prevention
treatment or should be replaced. Contact
your SUBARU dealer to perform this kind
of maintenance and treatment if you need
assistance.
Repair chips and scratches in the paint as
soon as you find them.

Tires and Wheels
362Roadholding is good, and steering
is responsive. Rolling resistance is
low, so fuel consumption is also
lower.
Under inflated tires (tread worn at
shoulders) Rolling resistance is high, so fuel
consumption is also higher.

Over inflated tires (tread worn in
center) Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire
magnifies the effects of road
surface bumps and dips, possibly
resulting in vehicle damage.

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.

Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
■
Wheel Balance
Each wheel was correctly balanced
when your vehicle was new, but the
wheels will become unbalanced as
the tires become worn during use.
Wheel imbalance causes the
steering wheel to vibrate slightly at
certain vehicle speeds and detracts
from the vehicle’s straight-line
stability. It can also cause steering
and suspension system problems
and abnormal tire wear. If you
suspect that the wheels are not
correctly balanced, have them
checked and adjusted by your
SUBARU dealer. Also have them
adjusted after tire repairs and after
tire rotation.
NOTEThe suspension system is
designed to hold each wheel at a
certain alignment (relative to the
other wheels and to the road) for
optimum straight-line stability
and cornering performance.■
Wear Indicators1) New tread
2) Worn tread3)
Tread wear indicator
Each tire incorporates a tread wear
indicator, which becomes visible
when the depth of the tread grooves
decreases to 0.063 in (1.6 mm). A tire must be replaced when the
tread wear indicator appears as a
solid band across the tread.
NOTEFor safety, inspect the tire tread
regularly and replace the tires
before their tread wear indicators
become visible.
CAUTION
Loss of correct wheel align-
ment causes the tires to wear
on one side and reduces the
vehicle’s running stability.
Contact your SUBARU dealer
if you notice abnormal tire
wear.

B00327
WARNING
When a tire’s tread wear indi-
cator becomes visible, the tire
is worn beyond the accept-
able limit and must be
replaced immediately. With a
tire in this condition, driving at
high speeds in wet weather
can cause the vehicle to
hydroplane. The resulting loss
of vehicle control can lead to
an accident.
