WARNING
.Bulbs may become very hot whileilluminated. Before replacingbulbs, turn off the bulbs and waituntil the bulbs cool down. Other-wise, there is a risk of sustaininga burn injury.
.For models with HID low beamheadlights, observe the followingprecautions.Not doing so carriesthe risk of an electric shock thatcould result in serious injurybecause the HID bulbs use anextremely high voltage.
–Do not replace any headlightbulbs (both low beam andhigh beam) by yourself.
–Do not remove/restore theheadlight assemblies by your-self.
–Do not remove any headlight-assembly components byyourself.
For replacement, contact yourSUBARU dealer.

Example:
(6) Load Index: A numerical code
which specifies the maximum load
atirecancarryatthespeed
indicated by its speed symbol, at
maximum inflation pressure.
For example,“104”means 1,984
lbs (900 kg),“100”means 1,764 lbs
(800 kg),“90”means 1,323 lbs (600
kg).
WARNING
Load indices apply only to the
tire, not to the vehicle. Putting
a load rated tire on any vehicle
does not mean the vehicle can
be loaded up to the tire’s rated
load.
(7) Speed Rating: An alphabetical
system describing a tire’s capability
to travel at established and prede-
termined speeds.
For example,“H”means 130 mph
(210 km/h).
WARNING
.Speed ratings apply only to
the tire, not to the vehicle.
Putting a speed rated tire on
any vehicle does not mean
the vehicle can be operated
at the tire’s rated speed.
.The speed rating is void if
the tires are worn out, da-
maged, repaired, retreaded,
or otherwise altered from
their original condition. If
tires are repaired, re-
treaded, or otherwise al-
tered, they may not be sui-
table for original equipment
tire designed loads and
speeds.
!Tire Identification Number (TIN)
Tire Identification Number (TIN) is
marked on the intended outboard
sidewall. The TIN is composed of
four groups. Here is a brief review
of the TIN with a breakdown of its
individual elements.
(1) Manufacturer’sIdentification
Mark
(2) Tire Size
(3) Tire Type Code
(4) Date of Manufacture
The first two figures identify the
week, starting with“01”to represent
the first full week of the calendar
year; the second two figures repre-
sent the year. For example, 0101
means the 1st week of 2001.
!Other markings
The following makings are also
placed on the sidewall.
!Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
The maximum cold inflation pres-
sure to which this tire may be
inflated. For example,“300 kPa
(44 PSI) MAX. PRESS”.

13-4Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
!Maximum load rating
The load rating at the maximum
permissible weight load for this tire.
For example,“MAX. LOAD 730 kg
(1609 LBS) @ 300 kPa (44 PSI)
MAX. PRESS.”
WARNING
Maximum load rating applies
only to the tire, not to the
vehicle. Putting a load rated
tire on any vehicle does not
mean the vehicle can be
loaded up to the tire’s rated
load.
!Construction type
Applicable construction of this tire.
For example,“TUBELESS STEEL
BELTED RADIAL”
!Construction
The generic name of each cord
material used in the plies (both
sidewall and tread area) of this tire.
For example,“PLIES: TREAD 2
STEEL + 2 POLYESTER + 1
NYLON SIDEWALL 2 POLYE-
STER”
!Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG)
For details, refer to“Uniform tire
quality grading standards”F13-14.
&Recommended tire inflation
pressure
!Recommended cold tire infla-
tion pressure
For the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure for your vehicle’s
tires, refer to“Tires”F12-8.
!Vehicle placard
The vehicle placard is affixed to the
driver’s side B-pillar.

cified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on straight-
ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include accel-
eration, cornering, hydroplan-
ing, or peak traction charac-
teristics.
&Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled con-
ditions on a specified indoor labora-
tory test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The
grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perfor-
mance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire
that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation, or ex-
cessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can
cause heat buildup and possi-
ble tire failure.
Reporting safety defects
(U.S.A.)
If you believe that your vehicle has
adefectwhichcouldcausea
crash or could cause injury or
death, you should immediately in-
form the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying Subaru of
America, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar com-
plaints, it may open an investiga-
tion, and if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of vehi-
cles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between
you, your dealer, or Subaru of
America, Inc. To contact NHTSA,
you may call the Vehicle Safety
Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to
http://www.safercar.gov; or write
