warning light SUBARU IMPREZA 2004 2.G Service Manual

9-4
In case of emergency
1) Spare fuse
2) FWD connector
NOTE
(If your vehicle is AWD with automatic transmis-
sion, except Turbo models) Before driving your
vehicle with the temporary spare tire, put a sparefuse inside the FWD connector in the main fuse
box located in the engine compartment and con-
firm that the Front-wheel drive warning light
“FWD” in the combination meter comes on. The all
wheel drive capability of the vehicle has now deac-
tivated. After re-installing the conventional tire, re-
move the spare fuse from the FWD connector in
order to reactivate all wheel drive.
Never tow a trailer when the temporary spare
tire is used. The temporary spare tire is not de-
signed to sustain the towing load. Use of the
temporary spare tire when towing can result in
failure of the spare tire and/or less stability of
the vehicle and may lead to an accident.
Never use any temporary spare tire other than
the original. Using other sizes may result in se-
vere mechanical damage to the drive train of
your vehicle.

Maintenance and service
– CONTINUED –
Aluminum wheels (If equipped)
Aluminum wheels can be scratched and damaged
easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their appear-
ance, 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." Be sure to fit tire chains on uniformly and completely
around the tire, otherwise the chains may scratch the
wheel. " When wheel nuts, balance weights, or the center
cap is replaced, be sure to replace them with genuine
SUBARU parts designed for aluminum wheels.Intercooler water spray
Add water to the intercooler water spray tank when the
intercooler water spray warning light in the combina-
tion meter comes on. The warning light comes on
when the water in the tank has decreased to approxi-
mately 0.4 liters (0.4 US qt, 0.4 Imp qt).
