If this light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly. Instead, per-
form the following procedure. Oth-
erwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.1) Keep driving straight ahead whilegradually reducing speed.2) Slowly pull off the road to a safeplace.If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may have significant
damage and a fast leak that causes
the tire to lose air rapidly. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the Low tire pres-
sure warning light will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble for tire and sensor replacement
and/or system resetting. If the light
illuminates steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute,
promptly contact a SUBARU dealer
to have the system inspected.
CAUTION
The tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem is NOT a substitute for manu-
ally checking tire pressure. The tire
pressure should be checked period-
ically (at least monthly) using a tire
gauge. After any change to tire
pressure(s), the tire pressure moni-
toring system will not re-check tire
inflation pressures until the vehicle
is first driven mo re than 25 mph (40
km/h). After adjusting the tire pres-
sures, increase the vehicle speed to
at least 25 mph (40 km/h) to start the
TPMS re-checking of the tire infla-
tion pressures. If the tire pressures
are now above the severe low pres-
sure threshold, the low tire pres-
sure warning light should turn off a
few minutes later. Therefore, be
sure to install the specified size for
the front and rear tires.

Starting and Operating7
– CONTINUED –
■
Select Lever : Shift with the brake pedal depressed
and push-button ignition switch in the “ON”
position. When shifting between “P” and “D”,
depress the brake pedal and securely stop
the vehicle before shifting.
The select lever has four positions, “P”,
“R”, “N”, “D” and also has a manual gate
for using the manual mode.NOTETo protect the engine while the select
lever is in the “P” or “N” position, the
engine is controlled so that the engine
speed may not become too high even
if the accelerator pedal is depressed
hard. ▼
P (Park)
This position is for parking the vehicle and
starting the engine. In this position, the
transmission is me chanically locked to
prevent the vehicle from rolling freely.
When you park the vehicle, first apply the
parking brake, then shift into the “P” posi-
tion. Do not hold the vehicle with only the
mechanical friction of the transmission.
To shift the select lever from the “P” to any
other position, you should depress the
brake pedal fully then move the select
lever. This prevents the vehicle from
lurching when it is started.
▼R (Reverse)
This position is for backing the vehicle. To
shift from the “N” to “R” position, stop the
vehicle completely then move the lever to
the “R” position.
▼N (Neutral)
This position is for restarting a stalled
engine. In this position, the transmission is
neutral, meaning that the wheels and
transmission are not locked. Therefore,
the vehicle will roll freely, even on the
slightest incline unless the parking brake
or foot brake is applied. ▼
D (Drive)
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically into a
suitable gear according to the vehicle
speed and the acceleration you require.
Also, while driving up and down a hill, the
transmission assists and controls the
driving performance and engine braking
while corresponding to the road grade.
When more acceleration is required in “D”
position, depress the accelerator pedal
fully to the floor and hold that position. The
transmission will automatically downshift.
When you release the pedal, the transmis-
sion will return to the original gear posi-
tion.
To use the manual mode, move the lever
from this position into the manual gate.
If one of the shift paddles behind the
steering wheel is operated while driving in
the “D” position, the transmission will
temporarily switch to the manual mode. In
this mode, you can shift into any gear
702768
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
select lever in the “N” (neutral)
position. Engine braking has no
effect in this condition and the risk
of an accident is consequently
increased.

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)/TRAC System
248
NOTEThe Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system and TRAC system may be con-
sidered normal when the following
conditions occur.
Slight twitching of the brake pedal is
felt.
WARNING
 Directional control and power
may not be achievable while
driving on slippery road surfaces,
even if the TRAC system is oper-
ating. Do not drive the vehicle in
conditions where stability and
power may be lost.Always use the utmost care in
driving – overconfidence
because you are driving with a
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system and TRAC system
equipped vehicle could easily
lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) system and TRAC system,
winter tires should be used when
driving on snow-covered or icy
roads; in addition, vehicle speed
should be reduced considerably.
Simply having a Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) system and TRAC
system does not guarantee that
the vehicle will be able to avoid
accidents in any situation.
Activation of the Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) system and TRAC
system is an indication that the
road being travelled on has a slip-
pery surface; since having
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
and TRAC is no guarantee that
full vehicle control will be main-
tained at all times and under all
conditions, its activation should
be seen as a sign that the speed
of the vehicle should be reduced
considerably. Whenever suspension compo-
nents, steering components, or
an axle are removed from a
vehicle equipped with the Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC) system
and TRAC system, have an
inspection of that system
performed by an authorized
SUBARU dealer. The following precautions should
be observed in order to ensure
that the Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) system and TRAC system
is operating properly.
- All four wheels should be
fitted with tires of the same
size, type, and brand. Further-
more, the amount of wear
should be the same for all four
tires.- Keep the tire pressure at theproper level as shown on the
label attached to the driver’s
side center pillar.- When replacing a flat tire, useonly the specified temporary
spare tire. However, even with
the specified temporary spare
tire, the effectiveness of the
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system and TRAC system will
be reduced.
If non-matching tires are used,
the Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) system and TRAC system
may not operate correctly.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (If Equipped)
2527-15. Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) (IfEquipped)Low tire pressure warning lightThe tire pressure monitoring system
provides the driver with a warning
message by sending a signal from a
sensor that is installed in each wheel
when tire pressure is severely low.
The tire pressure monitoring system will
activate only when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h). Also,
this system may not react immediately to
a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a blow-out caused by running
over a sharp object).
702780
WARNING
 If the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly. Instead,
perform the following procedure.
Otherwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and
serious personal injury could
occur.
(1) Keep driving straight ahead
while gradually reducing
speed.(2) Slowly pull off the road to a
safe place.(3) Check the pressure for all four tires and adjust the pres-
sure to the CO LD tire pres-
sure shown on the tire
inflation pressure label on the
center pillar on the driver’s
side.
 Even when the vehicle is driven a
very short distance, the tires get
warm and their pressures
increase accordingly. Be sure to
let the tires co ol thoroughly
before adjusting their pressures
to the standard values shown on
the tire inflation pressure label.
Refer to "Tires and Wheels"

P358. The tire pressure moni-
toring system does not function
when the vehicle is stationary.
After adjusting the tire pressures,
increase the vehicle speed to at
least 25 mph (40 km/h) to start the
TPMS rechecking of the tire infla-
tion pressures. If the tire pres-
sures are now above the severe
low pressure threshold, the low
tire pressure warning light should
turn off a few minutes later.If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may have signifi-
cant damage and a fast leak that
causes the tire to lose air rapidly.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as pos-
sible.

possible. Make sure to replace
the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter when replacing
the tire. You may reuse the wheel
if there is no damage to it and if
the sealant residue is properly
cleaned off. Do not inject any tire
liquid or aerosol tire sealant into
the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors. If the light illuminates
steadily after blinking for approx-
imately one minute, promptly
contact a SUBARU dealer to have
the system inspected.
CAUTION
Do not place metal film or any metal
parts under the driver’s seat. This
may cause poor reception of the

Tires and Wheels
35811-21. Tires and Wheels■
Types of Tires
You should be familiar with type of tires
present on your vehicle.
▼
Summer tires
The factory-installed tires on your new
vehicle are summer tires.
Summer tires are high-speed capability
tires best suited for highway driving under
dry conditions.
Summer tires are inadequate for driving
on slippery roads such as on snow-
covered or icy roads.
If you drive your vehicle on snow-covered
or icy roads, we strongly recommend the
use of winter (snow) tires.
When installing winter tires, be sure to
replace all four tires.
▼A ll season tires
All season tires are designed to provide
an adequate measure of traction, handling
and braking performance in year-round
driving including snowy and icy road
conditions. However all season tires do
not offer as much traction performance as
winter (snow) tires in heavy or loose snow
or on icy roads. All season tires are identified by “ALL
SEASON” and/or “M+S” (Mud & Snow) on
the tire sidewall.
▼
Wi
nter (snow) tires
Winter tires are best suited for driving on
sn ow-covered and icy roads. However
winter tires do not perform as well as
summer tires and all season tires on roads
other than snow-covered and icy roads.
NOTEIf the tread wears down below 0.16 in.
(4mm) on snow tires the effectiveness
of snow tires is lost.
▼
Lo w profile tires
Generally, low profile tires will wear more
rapidly and tire grip performance will be
reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when
compared to standard tires. Be sure to
use snow tires or tire chains on snowy
and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a
speed appropriate for road and weather
conditions.
NOTELow profile tires may cause greater
damage than usual to the wheel when
receiving impact from the road sur-
face. Therefore pay attention to the fol-
lowing: 
Be sure to use proper tire inflation
pressure. If tires are under-inflated,
they may be damaged more severely.
 Avoid pot holes, uneven pavement,
curbs and other road hazards. Failure
to do so may lead to severe tire and
wheel damage.
■
Tire Pressure Monitoring
Syste m (TPMS) (If Equipped)
The tire pressure monitoring system
provides the driver with a warning
message by sending a signal from a
sensor that is installed in each wheel
when tire pressure is severely low. The
tire pressure monitoring system will acti-
vate only when the vehicle is driven. Also,
this system may not react immediately to
a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a blow-out caused by running
over a sharp object).
If you adjust the tire pressures in a warm
garage and will then drive the vehicle in
cold outside air, the resulting drop in tire
pressures may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. To avoid this
problem when adjusting the tire pressures
in a warm garage, inflate the tires to pres-
sures higher than those shown on the tire
inflation pressure label. Specifically,
inflate them by an extra 1 psi (6.9 kPa,
0.07 kgf/cm
2) for every difference of 10°F

(5.6°C) between the temperature in the
garage and the temperature outside. By
way of example, the following table shows
the required tire pressures that corre-
spond to various outside temperatures
when the temperature in the garage is
60°F (15.6°C).
Example:
Tire size: 215/40R18 85Y
Standard tire pressures:
Front: 35 psi (240 kPa, 2.4 kgf/cm
2)
Rear: 35 psi (240 kPa, 2.4 kgf/cm2)
Garage temperature: 60°F (15.6°C)
Example:
Tire size: 215/45R17 87W
Standard tire pressures:
Front: 35 psi (240 kPa, 2.4 kgf/cm2)
Rear: 35 psi (240 kPa, 2.4 kgf/cm2)
Garage temperature: 60°F (15.6°C) If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates when you drive the vehicle in cold
outside air after adjusting the tire pres-
sures in a warm garage, re-adjust the tire
pressures using the method described
above. Then, increase the vehicle speed
to at least 25mph (40km/h) and check to
see that the low tire pressure warning light
goes off a few minutes later. If the low tire
pressure warning light does not go off, the
tire pressure monito
ring system may not
be functioning normally. In this event, go
to a SUBARU dealer to have the system
inspected as soon as possible.
While the vehicle is driven, friction
between tires and the road surface
causes the tires to warm up. After illumi-
nation of the low tire pressure warning
light, any increase in the tire pressures
caused by an increase in the outside air
temperature or by an increase in the
temperature in the tires can cause the low
tire pressure warning light to go off. System resetting is
necessary when the
wheels are changed (for example, a
switch to snow tires) and new TPMS
valves are installed on the newly fitted
wheels. Have this work performed by a
SUBARU dealer following wheel replace-
ment.
It may not be possible to install TPMS
valves on certain wheels that are on the
market. Therefore, if you change the
wheels (for example, a switch to snow
tires), use wheels that have the same part
number as the standard-equipment
wheels. Without four operational TPMS
valve/sensors on the wheels, the TPMS
will not fully function and the warning light
in the instrument panel will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approximately
one minute.
When a tire is replaced, adjustments are
necessary to ensure continued normal
operation of the tire pressure monitoring
system. As with wheel replacement,
therefore, you s hould have the work
performed by a SUBARU dealer.

Tire Inspection
Check on a daily basis that the tires
are free from serious damage, nails,
and stones. At the same time, check
the tires for abnormal wear.
Contact your SUBARU dealer
immediately if you find any problem.NOTEWhen the wheels and tires
strike curbs or are subjected to
harsh treatment as when the
vehicle is driven on a rough surface, they can suffer damage
that cannot be seen with the
naked eye. This type of damage
does not become evident until
time has passed. Try not to drive
over curbs, potholes or on other
rough surfaces. If doing so is
unavoidable, keep the vehicle’s
speed down to a walking pace or
less, and approach the curbs as
squarely as possible. Also, make
sure the tires are not pressed
against the curb when you park
the vehicle.

If you feel unusual vibration
while driving or find it difficult to
steer the vehicle in a straight line,
one of the tires and/or wheels
may be damaged. Drive slowly to
the nearest authorized SUBARU
dealer and have the vehicle
inspected.
 Tires should be replaced if:
– You have tire damage such
as cuts, splits, cracks deep
enough to expose the fabric or
bulges indicating internal
damage
WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not illuminate briefly after the
ignition switch is turned ON or the
light illuminates steadily after blink-
ing for approximately one minute,
you should have your Tire Pressure
Monitoring System checked at a
SUBARU dealer as so on as possi-
ble.If this light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly. Instead, per-
form the following procedure. Oth-
erwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.1) Keep driving straight ahead while gradually reducing speed.2) Slowly pull off the road to a safeplace.If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may have significant
damage and a fast leak that causes
the tire to lose ai r rapidly. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the low tire pres-
sure warning light will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble for tire and sensor replacement
and/or system resetting. If the light
illuminates steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute,
promptly contact a SUBARU dealer
to have the system inspected.

Tire Replacement
The 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 selected 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 Replacement
When 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 bodyand 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.
