Flat Tires
308Do not use tire chains on a sealed
tire. Do not tow a trailer.If used for a purpose other than
sealing a flat tire, the flat tire
repair kit may cause a severe
accident or injury due to the fact
that compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant. Safely park your vehicle on the
roadside so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic and so
that you are able to seal the flat
tire without being in danger. Apply the parking brake, even if
the vehicle is parked on a level
road, to make sure that the
vehicle will not move. Stop the engine before sealing
the flat tire. Turn on the hazard warning
flasher while sealing the flat tire. Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws that
have penetrated the tire. Leave
them as they are. Never leave the flat tire repair kit
unattended while in use. Only one tire can be repaired with
one bottle of sealant.
 The tires can be repaired when
the ambient temperature is −22 °F
( − 30 °C) or higher.
CAUTION
 Remember that the flat tire repair
kit only provides temporary
mobility. Regulations concerning
tire repair after usage of flat tire
repair kit may di ffer from country
to country. We recommend that
you consult your SUBARU dealer
or tire dealer for advice. Store the flat tire repair kit safely
and secure it under the floor of
the trunk. Storing it anywhere in
the passenger compartment is
not advisable because it could
strike an occupant in the event of
a sudden stop or collision and
cause injury. Use the flat tire repair kit with
original vehicle tires only. Do not keep the air compressor
operating for more than 10
minutes, otherwise there is a risk
of overheating. The temperature of the air
compressor may become high.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
When raining, take measures to
prevent the air compressor from
being exposed directly to the
rain. Exposing to rain may cause
a malfunction. Do not use air compressors other
than the one in the repair kit.
Using an air compressor other
than the one in the repair kit may
damage the tires. Do not disassemble or modify the
air compressor to enable the use
of a power supply or a battery
other than DC 12 V. If a temporary puncture repair is
performed with the repair kit, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped) may not
operate normally.

Engine Overheating
319
In Case of Emergency9
– CONTINUED –
9-5. Engine Overheating■If Steam Is Coming from the
Engine CompartmentTurn off the engine and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down.
■ If No Steam Is Coming from
the Engine Compartment1. Keep the engine running at idling
speed.
2. Open the hood to ventilate the engine
compartment. Refer to "Engine Hood"
 P343.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off
the engine and contact your authorized
dealer for repair.
3. After the engine coolant temperature
has dropped, turn off the engine.
If the temperature gauge stays in the over-
heated zone, turn off the engine.
4. After the engine has fully cooled down,
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank.
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, add coolant up to the “FULL” mark.NOTEFor details about how to check the
coolant level or how to add coolant,
refer to "Eng ine Coolant" P349.
5. If there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, add coolant to the reserve tank.
Then remove the radiator cap and fill the
radiator with coolant.
If you remove the radiator cap from a hot
radiator, first wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap, then turn the cap

counterclockwise slowly without pressing
down until it stops. Release the pressure
from the radiator. After the pressure has
been fully released, remove the cap by
pressing down and turning it.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap until
the engine has been shut off and
has fully cooled down. When the
engine is hot, the coolant is under
pressure. Removing the cap while
the engine is still hot could release
a spray of boiling hot coolant,
which could burn you very seri-
ously.
CAUTION
If the engine overheats, the engine
speed or the vehicle speed may be
reduced. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place immediately.
