best to check tire pressure outdoors before driving the vehicle. When a tire becomes warm, the air inside it ex- pands, causing the tire pressure to increase. Be careful not to mistakenly release air from a warm tire to reduce its pressure.
NOTE D The air pressure in a tire increases by approxi- mately 4.3 psi (30 kPa, 0.3 kg/cm2) when the tire becomes warm. D The tires are considered cold when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or has been driven less than one mile (1.6 km).
WARNING
Do not let air out of warm tires to adjust pressrue. Doing so will result in low tire pres- sure.
Incorrect tire pressures detract from controllability and ride comfort, and they cause the tires to wear abnormally.

D Correct tire pressure (tread worn evenly)
Roadholding is good, and steering is responsive. Rolling resistance is low, so fuel consumption is also lower.

Maintenance and service
D Abnormally low tire pressure (tread worn at shoulders)
D Abnormally high tire pressure (tread worn in center)
Rolling resistance is high, so fuel consumption is also higher.
Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire magnifies the effects of road-surface bumps and dips, possibly resulting in vehicle damage.
If the tire placard shows tire pressures for the ve- hicle when fully loaded and for the vehicle when towing a trailer, adjust the tire pressures to the val- ues that match current loading conditions.
11-44
WARNING
Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires to deform severely and to rapidly become hot. A sharp increase in temperature could cause tread separation, and destruction of the tires. The resulting loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident.
J Wheel balance Each wheel was correctly balanced when your ve- hicle was new, but the wheels will become unbal- anced 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 ab- normal tire wear. If you suspect that the wheels are not correctly balanced, have them checked and ad- justed by your SUBARU dealer. Also have them ad- justed after tire repairs and after tire rotation. NOTE Loss of correct wheel alignment* causes the tires to wear on one side and reduces the ve- hicle’s running stability. Contact your SUBARU

dealer if you notice abnormal tire wear. * : The 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.

be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread.
J Tire rotation
WARNING
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 high speeds in wet weather can cause the vehicle to hydro- plane. The resulting loss of vehicle control can lead to an accident.
NOTE For safety, inspect tire tread regularly and re- place the tires before their tread wear indicators become visible.
11-46
Tire wear varies from wheel to wheel. To maximize the life of each tire and ensure that the tires wear uniformly, it is best to rotate the tires every 7,500
miles (12,500 km). Rotating the tires involves switch- ing the front and rear tires on the right-hand side of the vehicle and similarly switching the front and rear tires on the left-hand side of the vehicle. (Each tire must be kept on its original side of the vehicle.) Replace any damaged or unevenly worn tire at the time of rotation. After tire rotation, adjust the tire pressures and make sure the wheel nuts are cor- rectly tightened.After driving approximately 600 miles (1,000 km), check the wheel nuts again and retighten any nut that has become loose.
J 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 optimally matched to the characteris- tics of the vehicle and were selected to give the best possible combination of running performance, ride comfort, and service life. It is essential for every tire to have a size and construction matching those shown on the tire placard and to have a speed sym- bol and load index matching those shown on the tire placard. Using tires of a non-specified size detracts from controllability, ride comfort, braking performance, speedometer accuracy and odometer accuracy. It also creates incorrect body-to-tire clearances and inappropriately changes the vehicle’s ground clear- ance. All four tires must be the same in terms of manufac- turer, 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. NOTE
Unidirectional tires: Some tires have a specified direction of rotation. A tire of this type has an ar- row or other mark on its side wall to indicate the direction of rotation. Install it so that the direc- tion of rotation is correct when the vehicle is driven forward.

Maintenance and service
WARNING
D All four tires must be the same in terms of manufacturer, brand (tread pattern), construc- tion, degree of wear, speed symbol, load index and size. Mixing tires of different types, sizes or degrees of wear can result in damage to ve- hicle’s power train. Use of different types or sizes of tires can also dangerously reduce controllability and braking performance and can lead to an accident. D Use only radial tires. Do not use radial tires together with belted bias tires and/or bias-ply tires. Doing so can dangerously reduce con- trollability, resulting in an accident.
J Wheel replacement When replacing wheels due, for example, to dam- age, make sure the replacement wheels match the specifications of the wheels that are fitted as stan- dard equipment. Replacement wheels are available from SUBARU dealers.
WARNING
Use only those wheels that are specified for your vehicle. Wheels not meeting specifica- tions 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 acci- dent.

Aluminum wheels can be scratched and damaged easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their ap- pearance, performance, and safety. D 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 approxi- mately 600 miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to the specified torque. D Never apply oil to the threaded parts, wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the wheel. D Never let the wheel rub against sharp protrusions or curbs. D Be sure to fit tire chains on uniformly and com- pletely around the tire, otherwise the chains may scratch the wheel. D When wheel nuts, balance weights, or the center cap is replaced, be sure to replace them with genu- ine SUBARU parts designed for aluminum wheels.

Replacement of windshield wiper blades
Grease, wax, insects, or other material on the wind- shield or the wiper blade results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you cannot remove the streaks after operating the windshield washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield (or rear window) and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water. The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield with water.
CAUTION
Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after fol- lowing this method, replace the wiper blades using the following procedures: 1. Raise the wiper arm off the windshield.

J Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under con- trolled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative perfor- mance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road character- istics and climate.
J Traction AA, A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under con- trolled conditions on specified government test sur- faces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
For U.S.A. The following information has been compiled ac- cording to Code of Federal Regulations “Title 49, Part 575”.
Uniform tire quality grading standards
This information indicates the relative performance of passenger car tires in the area of treadwear, trac- tion, and temperature resistance. This is to aid the consumer in making an informed choice in the pur- chase of tires. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maxi- mum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A The quality grades apply to new pneumatic tires for use on passenger cars. However, they do not apply to deep tread, winter type snow tires, space-saver or temporary use spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of 12 inches or less, or to some limited production tires. All passenger car tires must confirm to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.

WARNING
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab- lished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla- tion, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cor- nering, hydroplaning, or peak traction charac- teristics.
J Temperature A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the genera- tion of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified in- door laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tempera- ture 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 Standards No. 109. Grades B and A repre- sent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
