(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 cal- endar year; the second two figures represent the year. For example, 0101 means the 1st week of 2001. (cid:84) Other markings The following makings are also placed on the sidewall. (cid:86) Maximum permissible inflation pressure The maximum cold inflation pressure to which this tire may be inflated. For example, “300 kpa (44 PSI) MAX. PRESS” (cid:86) 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.”

The vehicle placard shows original tire size, rec- ommended cold tire inflation pressure on each tire at maximum loaded vehicle weight, seating capacity and loading information. (cid:84) Adverse safety consequences of under-in-

flation

Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires to flex severely and to rapidly become hot. A sharp increase in temperature could cause tread separation, and failure of the tire(s). Possible resulting loss of ve-

hicle control could lead to an accident. (cid:84) Measuring and adjusting air pressure to

achieve proper inflation

Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure of each tire (including the spare) at least once a month and before any long journey. Check the tire pressures when the tires are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the specific values. Driving even a short distance warms up the tires and increases the tire pres- sures. Also, the tire pressures are affected by the ambient temperature. It is best to check tire pres- sure outdoors before driving the vehicle. When a tire becomes warm, the air inside it expands, causing the tire pressure to increase. Be careful not to mistakenly release air from a warm tire to reduce its pressure.

(cid:132) Tire care – maintenance and safety

practices

(cid:121) 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. (cid:121) Inspect the tire tread regularly and replace the tires before their tread wear indicators become visible. When a tire’s tread wear indicator be- comes visible, the tire is worn beyond the ac- ceptable 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 hydroplane. Possible resulting loss of vehicle control can lead to an accident. (cid:121) 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 switching 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 pres- sures and make sure the wheel nuts are correct- ly tightened. A tightening torque specification and a tightening sequence specification for the wheel nuts can be found “Flat tires” in Chapter 9.

(cid:132) Vehicle load limit – how to determine The load capacity of your vehicle is determined by weight, not by available cargo space. The load limit of your vehicle is shown on the vehicle placard attached to the driver’s side B-pillar. Lo- cate the statement “The combined weight of oc- cupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard. The vehicle placard also shows seating capacity of your vehicle. The total load capacity includes the total weight of driver and all passengers and their belong- ings, any cargo, any optional equipment such as a trailer hitch, roof rack or bike carrier, etc., and the tongue load of a trailer. Therefore cargo ca-

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

pacity can be calculated by the following method. Cargo capacity = Load limit – (total weight of oc- cupants + total weight of optional equipment + tongue load of a trailer (if applicable)) For towing capacity information and weight lim- its, refer to “Trailer towing” in Chapter 8. (cid:84) Calculating total and load capacities vary-

ing seating configurations

Calculate the available load capacity as shown in the following examples: Example 1A

UBD009BA

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle is 800 lbs (363 kg), which is indicated on the vehicle plac- ard with the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 363
kg or 800 lbs”. For example, if the vehicle has one occupant weighing 154 lbs (70 kg) plus cargo weighing 551 lbs (250 kg). 1. Calculate the total weight.

Total weight = 154 lbs (70 kg) + 551 lbs (250 kg)

(Occupant)

(Cargo)

= 705 lbs (320 kg) 2. Calculate the available load capacity by sub- tracting the total weight from the vehicle capacity weight of 800 lbs (363 kg).

13-10

Available Load Capacity = 800 lbs (363 kg) – 705 lbs (320 kg)

(Vehicle

capacity weight)

(Total weight)

= 95 lbs (43 kg) 3. The result of step 2 shows that a further 95 lbs (43 kg) of cargo can be carried. Example 1B

For example, if a person weighing 176 lbs (80
kg) now enters the same vehicle (bringing the

number of occupants to two), the calculations are as follows: 1. Calculate the total weight.

Example 2A

Total weight = 154 lbs (70 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg)

(Occupant)

+ 551 lbs (250 kg)

(Cargo)

= 881 lbs (400 kg)

2. Calculate the available load capacity.

Available Load Capacity = 800 lbs (363 kg) – 881 lbs (400 kg)

(Vehicle

capacity weight)

(Total weight)

= – 81 lbs (–37 kg) 3. The total weight now exceeds the capacity weight by 81 lbs (37 kg), so the cargo weight must be reduced by 81 lbs (37 kg) or more.

UBD011BA

Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle is 800 lbs (363 kg), which is indicated on the vehicle plac- ard with the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 363
kg or 800 lbs”. For example, the vehicle has one occupant weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) plus cargo weighing 265 lbs (120 kg). In addition, the vehicle is fitted with a trailer hitch weighing 22 lbs (10 kg), to which is attached a trailer weighing 1764 lbs (800kg). 10% of the trailer weight is applied to – CONTINUED – 13-11

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

the trailer tongue (i.e. Tongue load = 176 lbs (80
kg)). 1. Calculate the total weight.

Example 2B

Total weight = 165 lbs (75 kg) + 265 lbs (120 kg)

(Occupant)

(Cargo)

+ 22 lbs (10 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg)

(Trailer hitch)

(Tongue load)

= 628 lbs (285 kg) 2. Calculate the available load capacity.

Available Load Capacity = 800 lbs (363 kg) – 628 lbs (285 kg)

(Vehicle

capacity weight) = 172 lbs (78 kg)

(Total weight)

3. The result of step 2 shows that a further 172
lbs (78 kg) of cargo can be carried.

UBD010BA

For example, if a person weighing 143 lbs (65
kg) and a child weighing 40 lbs (18 kg) now enter the same vehicle (bringing the number of occu- pants to three), and a child restraint system weighing 11 lbs (5 kg) is installed in the vehicle for the child to use, the calculations are as fol- lows: 1. Calculate the total weight.

Total weight = 165 lbs (75 kg) + 143 lbs (65 kg) + 40 lbs (18 kg)

(Occupant)

+ 11 lbs (5 kg) + 265 lbs (120 kg)

(Child restraint)

(Cargo)

+ 22 lbs (10 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg)

(Trailer hitch)

(Tongue load)

= 822 lbs (373 kg)

2. Calculate the available load capacity.

Available Load Capacity = 800 lbs (363 kg) – 882 lbs (373 kg)

(Vehicle

capacity weight)

(Total weight)

= – 22 lbs (–10 kg) 3. The total weight now exceeds the capacity weight by 22 lbs (10 kg), so the cargo weight must be reduced by 22 lbs (10kg) or more.

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

(cid:132) Determining compatibility of tire and

vehicle load capacities

The sum of four tires’ maximum load ratings must exceed the maximum loaded vehicle weight (“GVWR”). In addition, sum of the maxi- mum load ratings of two front tires and of two rear tires must exceed each axle’s maximum loaded capacity (“GAWR”). Original equipment tires are designed to fulfill those conditions. The maximum loaded vehicle weight is referred to Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). And each axle’s maximum loaded capacity is referred to Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The GVWR and each axle’s GAWR are shown on the vehicle certification label affixed to the driver’s door. The GVWR and front and rear GAWRs are de- termined by not only the maximum load rating of tires but also loaded capacities of the vehicle’s suspension, axles and other body parts. Therefore, this means that the vehicle cannot necessarily be loaded up to the tire’s maximum load rating on the tire sidewall.

(cid:132) Adverse safety consequences of over- loading on handling and stopping and on tires

Overloading could affect vehicle handling, stop- ping distance, vehicle and tire as shown bellow. This could lead to an accident and possibly result in severe personal injury. (cid:121) Vehicle stability will deteriorate. (cid:121) Heavy and/or high-mounted loads could in- crease the risk of rollover. (cid:121) Stopping distance will increase. (cid:121) Brakes could overheat and fail. (cid:121) Suspension, bearings, axles and other body parts could break or experience accelerated wear that will shorten vehicle life. (cid:121) Tires could fail. (cid:121) Tread separation could occur. (cid:121) Tire could separate from its rim.

(cid:132) Steps for Determining Correct Load

Limit

1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds” on your vehicle’s placard.

13-14

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635kg). and there will be five- 150 lbs (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail- able cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 – 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available car- go and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehi- cle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Uniform tire quality grading stan- dards This information indicates the relative perfor- mance of passenger car tires in the area of treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. This is to aid the consumer in making an in- formed choice in the purchase of tires. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum 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.

(cid:132) Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov- ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1-1/2) times as well on the govern- ment course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance 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 characteristics and climate.

(cid:132) 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 mea- sured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and con- crete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction – CONTINUED – 13-15

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

and not overloaded. Excessive speed, un- derinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

(cid:132) 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 conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and exces- sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of perfor- mance 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 performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

The temperature grade for this tire is es- tablished for a tire that is properly inflated

Reporting safety defects (USA) If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause in- jury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin- istration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Subaru of America, Inc. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, 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 con- tact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393
(or 366-0123 in the Washington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Safety precautions when driving (cid:132) Seatbelt and SRS airbag

(cid:121) All persons in the vehicle should fasten their seatbelts BEFORE the vehicle starts to move. Otherwise, the possibility of serious injury be- comes greater in the event of a sudden stop or accident. (cid:121) To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seatbelts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS (Supplemental Re- straint System) airbag does not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. In combination with the seatbelts, it offers the best combined protection in case of a serious accident. Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of severe injury or death in a crash even when the car has the SRS airbag. (cid:121) The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force. Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for deploy-

ment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintaining full ve- hicle control and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well back in the seat.

Carefully read the sections “Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags” in chapter 1 of this owner’s manual for in- structions and precautions concerning the seatbelt system and SRS airbag system.

(cid:132) Child safety

(cid:121) Never hold a child on your lap or in your arms while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a colli- sion, because the child will be caught between the passenger and objects inside the vehicle. (cid:121) While riding in the vehicle, infants and small children should always be placed in the REAR seat in an infant or child restraint system which is appropriate for the child’s age, height and weight. If a child is too big for a child restraint

system, the child should sit in the REAR seat and be restrained using the seatbelts. Accord- ing to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating po- sitions than in the front seating positions. Nev- er allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat. (cid:121) Put children aged 12 and under in the REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a child restraint device or in a seatbelt. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children, especially if they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or improperly restrained. Because children are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk being injured from deployment is greater. (cid:121) NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG. (cid:121) Always use the child safety locks whenever a child rides in the rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally opened the door and fell out. Refer to the “Door locks” section in chapter 2. (cid:121) Always lock the passenger’s windows using

– CONTINUED –

the lock switch when children are riding in the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could result in injury to a child operating the power window. Refer to the “Power windows” section in chapter 2. (cid:121) Never leave unattended children in the vehi- cle. They could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, tempera- ture in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to them. (cid:121) Help prevent young children from locking themselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehi- cle, either close all windows and lock all doors or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny days, the temperature in a trunk could quickly become high enough to cause death or serious heat-related injuries including brain damage, particularly for small children.

Carefully read the sections “Child restraint sys- tems”,“*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)”, and “Seatbelts” in chapter 1 of this owner’s manual for instructions and precautions concerning the child restraint system, seatbelt system and SRS

airbag system.

(cid:132) Engine exhaust gas (carbon monox-

ide)

(cid:121) Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine ex- haust gas contains carbon monoxide, a color- less and odorless gas which is dangerous, or even lethal, if inhaled. (cid:121) Always properly maintain the engine exhaust system to prevent engine exhaust gas from en- tering the vehicle. (cid:121) Never run the engine in a closed space, such as a garage, except for the brief time needed to drive the vehicle in or out of it. (cid:121) Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a lengthy time while the engine is running. If that is unavoidable, then use the ventilation fan to force fresh air into the vehicle. (cid:121) Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free from snow, leaves or other obstructions to ensure that the ventilation system always works properly. (cid:121) If at any time you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, have the problem

checked and corrected as soon as possible. If you must drive under these conditions, drive only with all windows fully open. (cid:121) Keep the trunk lid or rear gate closed while driving to prevent exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.

you may have consumed too much alcohol to drive safely even if the level of alcohol in your blood is below the legal limit. The safest thing you can do is never drink and drive. However if you have no choice but to drive, stop drinking and sober up completely before getting behind the wheel.

(cid:132) Drinking and driving

(cid:132) Drugs and driving

Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Alcohol in the bloodstream delays your reac- tion and impairs your perception, judgment and attentiveness. If you drive after drinking – even if you drink just a little – it will increase the risk of being involved in a serious or fatal accident, injuring or killing yourself, your passengers and others. In addition, if you are injured in the accident, alcohol may increase the severity of that injury. Please don’t drink and drive.

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Since alcohol affects all people differently,

There are some drugs (over the counter and prescription) that can delay your reaction time and impair your perception, judgment and at- tentiveness. If you drive after taking them, it may increase your, your passengers’ and other persons’ risk of being involved in a serious or fatal accident.

If you are taking any drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist or read the literature that accompanies the medication to determine if the drug you are taking can impair your driving ability. Do not drive after taking any medications that can make you drowsy or otherwise affect your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. If you have a medical condition that requires you to take

– CONTINUED –

drugs, please consult with your doctor. Never drive if you are under the influence of any illicit mind-altering drugs. For your own health and well-be- ing, we urge you not to take illegal drugs in the first place and to seek treatment if you are addicted to those drugs.

(cid:132) Driving when tired or sleepy

When you are tired or sleepy, your reaction will be delayed and your perception, judgment and attentiveness will be impaired. If you drive when tired or sleepy, your, your passengers’ and other persons’ chances of being involved in a serious accident may increase.

Please do not continue to drive but instead find a safe place to rest if you are tired or sleepy. On long trips, you should make periodic rest stops to refresh your- self before continuing on your journey. When possible, you should share the driving with others.

(cid:132) Car/Mobile phones and driving

Do not use a hand-held phone while driving; it may distract your attention from driving and can lead to an accident. If you use a hand-held phone, pull off the road and park in the safe place before using your phone. In some States/ Provinces, only hands-free phones may legally be used while driving.

(cid:132) Modification of your vehicle

Your vehicle should not be modified. Modifica- tion could affect its performance, safety or du- rability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or perfor- mance problems resulting from modification may not be covered under warranties.

(cid:132) Driving with pets Unrestrained pets can interfere with your driving and distract your attention from driving. In a collision or sudden stop, unrestrained pets or cages can be thrown around inside the vehicle and hurt you or your passengers. Besides, the pets can be hurt under these situations. It is also for their own safety that pets should be properly restrained in your vehicle. Restrain a pet with a special traveling harness which can be se- cured to the rear seat with a seatbelt or use a pet car- rier which can be secured to the rear seat by routing a seatbelt through the carrier’s handle. Never restrain pets or pet carriers in the front passenger’s seat. For further information, consult your veterinarian, local an- imal protection society or pet shop.

(cid:132) Tire pressures

Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires to deform severe- ly 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.

Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure of each tire (including the spare) at least once a month and be- fore any long journey. Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the values shown on the tire placard. Refer to the “Tires and wheels” section in chapter 11
for detailed information.

(cid:132) California proposition 65 warning

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other repro- ductive harm. In addition, certain fluids in vehi- cles and certain components of product wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
