WARNING

. Never tow a trailer when the temporary spare tire is used . The temporary spare tire is not designed 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 .
. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel rim is replaced without the original pressure sensor / transmitter being transferred , the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate steadily after blinking for approximately one minute . This indicates the tire pressure monitoring system ( TPMS ) is unable to monitor all four road wheels . Contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible for tire and sensor replacement and / or system resetting .

CAUTION
Never use any temporary spare tire other than the original . Using other sizes may result in severe mechanical damage to the drivetrain of your vehicle .
The temporary spare tire is smaller and lighter than a conventional tire and is designed for emergency use only . Remove the temporary spare tire and reinstall the conventional tire as soon as possible because the spare tire is designed only for temporary use .
Check the inflation pressure of the temporary spare tire periodically to keep the tire ready for use . For the correct tire pressure , refer to “ Temporary spare tires ” FP527 .
When using the temporary spare tire , note the following .
. Drive with caution when the temporary spare tire is installed . Avoid hard acceleration and braking , or fast cornering , as control of the vehicle may be lost .
. Do not exceed 50 mph ( 80 km / h ).
. Do not put a tire chain on the temporary spare tire . Because of the smaller tire size , a tire chain will not fit properly .
