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.

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.

Rotational Direction of TiresExample of rotational direction
marked on the sidewall
1) Front
If the tires have specific rotational
direction, refer to the arrow marked
on the side wall.
The arrow should be pointing
forward direction when the wheels
are fitted.

rectional tires

Tire wear varies from wheel to
wheel. Move the tires to the posi-
tions shown in the illustration each
time they are rotated. For the tire
rotation schedule, refer to the
“Warranty and Maintenance
Booklet”.
Replace any damaged or unevenly
worn tire at the time of rotation. After
tire rotation, adjust the tire pres-
sures and make sure the wheel nuts
are correctly tightened.

Alloy Wheels
366NOTEWhen any of the wheels are removed
and replaced for tire rotation or to
change a flat tire, always check the
tightness of the wheel nuts after driv-
ing approximately 600 miles (1,000
km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to the
specified torque.
11-22. Alloy WheelsAlloy wheels can be scratched and
damaged easily. Handle them carefully to
maintain their appearance, performance,
and safety.
 When any of the wheels is removed
and replaced for tire rotation or to change
a flat, always check the tightness of the
wheel nuts after driving approximately 600
miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose,
tighten it to the specified torque.
 Never apply oil to the threaded parts,
wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the
wheel.
 Never let the wheel rub against sharp
protrusions or curbs.
 When wheel nuts, balance weights, or
the center cap is replaced, be sure to
replace them with genuine SUBARU parts
designed for alloy wheels.
11-23. Windshield WasherFluid1) “LOW” positionThe washer fluid level can be checked by
observing the position of the level on the
liquid-covered holes in the gauge.
If the level falls below the second hole
from the bottom (the “LOW” position), add
washer fluid.
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield
washer fluid is unavailable use clean
water.
In areas where water freezes in winter,
use an anti-freeze type windshield washer
fluid.
WARNING
Use only those wheels that are
specified for your vehicle. Wheels
not meeting specifications could
interfere with brake caliper opera-
tion and may cause the tires to rub
against the wheel well housing
during turns. The resulting loss of
vehicle control could lead to an
accident.

Headlight aim adjustment1) Adjustment direction mark1. Turn the bolt A clockwise or
counterclockwise to adjust it. Remember
the direction of the rotation and number of
rotations.2. Turn bolt B the same number of turns
and in the same direction as step 1.
NOTE
If the headlight aim cannot be
adjusted, contact your SUBARU
dealer.
 To inspect of the headlight aim posi-
tion, consult a SUBARU dealer.
11-29. Replacing BatteryThe access key fob may be discharged
under the following conditions.
 The operation of the keyless access
function is unstable
 The operating distance of the remote
keyless entry system is unstable
 The transmitter does not operate prop-
erly when used within the standard
distance
Replace the battery with a new one.

CAUTION
 Do not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the access key fob/trans-
mitter when replacing battery.Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the
access key fob/transmitter when
replacing the battery.Be careful not to allow children to
touch the battery and any
removed parts; children could
swallow them.There is a danger of an explosion
if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type of the
battery.

Tire Care – Maintenance and
Safety Practices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.
 Inspect the tire tread regularly
and replace the tires before their
tread wear indicators become
visible. When a tire’s tread wear
indicator becomes visible, the tire is
worn beyond the acceptable limit
and must be replaced immediately.
With a tire in this condition, driving
at even low speeds in wet weather
can cause the vehicle to hydro-
plane. Possible resulting loss of
vehicle control can lead to an acci-
dent.
 To maximize the life of each tire
and ensure that the tires wear
uniformly, it is best to rotate the tires
every 6,000 miles (10,000 km). For
information about tire rotation, refer
to
"Rotational Direction of Tires" 
P364.
Replace any damaged or unevenly
worn tire at the time of rotation. After
tire rotation, adjust the tire pres-
