Replace any bulb only with a new bulb of the specified wattage. Using a bulb of different wattage could re- sult in a fire.

(cid:132) Headlight

Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare hands or greasy gloves, finger prints or grease on the bulb surface develop into hot spots, causing the bulb to break. If there are finger prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them away with a soft cloth moist- ened with alcohol. NOTE (cid:121) If headlight aiming is required, con- sult your SUBARU dealer for proper adjustment of the headlight aim. (cid:121) It may be difficult to replace the bulbs. Have your SUBARU dealer re- place the bulbs if necessary.

13-2 Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

For U.S.A. The following information has been com- piled according to Code of Federal Regu- lations “Title 49, Part 575”.

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

Tire information

(cid:132) Tire labeling Many markings (e.g. Tire size, Tire Identification Number or TIN) are placed on the sidewall of a tire by tire manufacturers. These markings can provide you with useful information on the tire. (cid:84) Tire size Your vehicle comes equipped with P- Metric tire size. It is important to un- derstand the sizing system in select- ing the proper tire for your vehicle. Here is a brief review of the tire sizing system with a breakdown of its indi- vidual elements. (cid:86) P Metric With the P-Metric system, Section Width is measured in millimeters. To convert millimeters into inches, divide by 25.4. The Aspect Ratio (Section Height divided by Section Width) helps provide more dimensional infor- mation about the tire size.

Example: P 255 / 55 R 18
(1) (5)

(3)

(4)

(2)

(1) P = Certain tire type used on light duty vehicles such as passenger cars (2) Section Width in millimeters (3) Aspect Ratio (= section height ÷ section width). (4) R = Radial Construction (5) Rim diameter in inches (cid:86) Load and Speed Rating Descrip-

tions

The load and speed rating descrip- tions will appear following the size designation. They provide two important facts about the tire. First, the number des- ignation is its load index. Second, the letter designation indicates the tire’s speed rating. Example: P 255 / 55 R 18 104 H (7)

Size designation

(6)

(6) Load Index: A numerical code

A3120BE-B.book 3 ページ ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分

Consumer information and Reporting safety defects 13-3

which specifies the maximum load a tire can carry at the speed indicated by its speed symbol, at maximum in- flation pressure. For example, “104” means 1,984 lbs (900 kg), “100” means 1,764 lbs (800
kg), “90” means 1,323 lbs (600 kg).

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 predeter- mined speeds. For example, “H” means 130 mph (210 km/h).

(cid:121) Speed ratings apply only to the tire, not to the vehicle. Put- ting a speed rated tire on any vehicle does not mean the ve- hicle can be operated at the tire’s rated speed.

(cid:121) The speed rating is void if the tires are worn out, damaged, repaired, retreaded, or other- wise altered from their original condition. If tires are repaired, retreaded, or otherwise al- tered, they may not be suitable for original equipment tire de- signed loads and speeds.

Identification

(1) Manufacturer’s 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 represent the year. For example, 0101 means the 1st week of 2001. (cid:84) Other markings The placed on the sidewall. (cid:86) Maximum permissible inflation

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 per- missible weight load for this tire. For example, “MAX. LOAD 730 kg (1609
LBS) @ 300 kPa (44 PSI) MAX. PRESS.”

Maximum load rating applies only to the tire, not to the vehi- cle. Putting a load rated tire on any vehicle does not mean the vehicle can be loaded up to the tire’s rated load.

For example, “TUBELESS STEEL BELTED RADIAL” (cid:86) Construction The generic name of each cord mate- rial used in the plies (both sidewall and tread area) of this tire. For example, “PLIES: TREAD 2

The vehicle placard shows original tire size, recommended cold tire infla- tion pressure on each tire at maxi- mum loaded vehicle weight, seating capacity and loading information. (cid:84) Adverse safety consequences

of under-inflation

Driving at high speeds with exces- sively low tire pressures can cause the tires to flex severely and to rapidly become hot. A sharp increase in tem- perature could cause tread separa- tion, and failure of the tire(s). Possible 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 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 pressures. Also, the tire pressures

are affected by the outside tempera- ture. It is best to check tire pressure outdoors before driving the vehicle. When a tire becomes warm, the air in- side it expands, causing the tire pres- sure to increase. Be careful not to mistakenly release air from a warm tire to reduce its pressure.

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 becomes visible, the tire is worn beyond the ac- ceptable limit and must be replaced immediately. With a tire in this condi- tion, driving at even low speeds in wet weather can cause the vehicle to hy- droplane. Possible resulting loss of vehicle control can lead to an acci- dent. (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 ve- hicle 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.) Re- place any damaged or unevenly worn tire at the time of rotation. After tire ro- tation, adjust the tire pressures and make sure the wheel nuts are correct- ly tightened. A tightening torque spec- ification and a tightening sequence specification for the wheel nuts can be found “Flat tires” in chapter 9.

(cid:132) Vehicle load limit – how to de-

termine

The load capacity of your vehicle is determined by weight, not by avail- able cargo space. The load limit of your vehicle is shown on the vehicle placard attached to the driver’s side B-pillar. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard. The vehicle placard also shows seat- ing capacity of your vehicle. The total load capacity includes the total weight of driver and all passen- gers and their belongings, 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 capacity can be cal- culated by the following method. Cargo capacity = Load limit – (total weight of occupants + total weight of optional equipment + tongue load of a trailer (if applicable)) For towing capacity information and weight limits, refer to “Trailer towing” in chapter 8.

(cid:84) Calculating total and load capac- ities varying seating configura- tions

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

D00101

Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle is 1,157 lbs (525 kg), which is indicat- ed on the vehicle placard with the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 525 kg or 1,157 lbs”. For example, if the vehicle has one occupant weighing 154 lbs (70 kg) plus cargo weighing 1,212 lbs (550
kg).

1. Calculate the total weight.

Total weight = 154 lbs (70 kg) + 882 lbs (400 kg)

(Occupant)

= 1,036 lbs (470 kg)

(Cargo)

2. Calculate the available load capac- ity by subtracting the total weight from the vehicle capacity weight of 800 lbs (363 kg).

Available Load Capacity

–

1,157 lbs (525 kg) (Vehicle

For example, if a person weighing 176
lbs (80 kg) now enters the same vehi- cle (bringing the number of occupants to two), the calculations are as fol- lows: 1. Calculate the total weight.

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

(Occupant)

Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle is 1,157 lbs (525 kg), which is indicat- ed on the vehicle placard with the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 525 kg or 1,157 lbs”. For example, the vehicle has one oc- cupant weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) plus cargo weighing 705 lbs (320 kg). In addition, the vehicle is fitted with a trailer hitch weighing 22 lbs (10 kg), to which is attached a trailer weighing 1,764 lbs (800 kg). 10% of the trailer weight is applied to the trailer tongue (i.e. Tongue load = 176 lbs (80 kg)). 1. Calculate the total weight.

Total weight = 165 lbs (75 kg) + 705 lbs (320 kg)

(Occupant)

(Cargo)

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

(cid:132) Determining compatibility of tire and vehicle load capaci- ties

The sum of four tires’ maximum load ratings must exceed the maximum loaded vehicle weight (“GVWR”). In addition, sum of the maximum 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

(1,400 – 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs). 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safe- ly exceed the available cargo and lug- gage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trail- er, load from your trailer will be trans- ferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduc- es the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

maximum loaded capacity is referred to Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The GVWR and each axle’s GAWR are shown on the vehicle cer- tification label affixed to the driver’s door. The GVWR and front and rear GAWRs are determined by not only the maximum load rating of tires but also loaded capacities of the vehicle’s suspension, axles and other parts of the body. 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 consequenc- es of overloading on handling and stopping and on tires

Overloading could affect vehicle han- dling, stopping distance, vehicle and tire as shown in the following. 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 increase the risk of rollover. (cid:121) Stopping distance will increase.

(cid:121) Brakes could overheat and fail. (cid:121) Suspension, bearings, axles and other parts of the body 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 Cor-

rect Load Limit

1. Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds” on your vehicle’s placard. 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 lug- gage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five- 150 lbs (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs

Uniform tire quality grading standards

This information indicates the relative performance of passenger car tires in the area of treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. This is to aid the consumer in making an informed choice in the purchase of tires. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall be- tween tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Tem- perature A The quality grades apply to new pneu- matic 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 pro- duction tires. All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.

(cid:132) Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled con- ditions 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 ac- tual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving hab- its, 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 measured under controlled conditions on speci- fied government test surfaces of as- phalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight- ahead braking traction tests, and does not include accelera- tion, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

(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 condi- tions on a specified indoor 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 corre- sponds 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 represent higher levels of per- formance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor ve- hicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.

The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not over- loaded. Excessive speed, under- inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combina- tion, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
