& Tire Pressure Monitoring System ( TPMS ) ( U . S . -Spec . Models ) s09ac02
Low tire pressure warning light
The tire pressure monitoring system provides the driver with the warning message indicated by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed in each wheel when tire pressure is severely low .
The tire pressure monitoring system will activate only when the vehicle is driven . Also , this system may not react immediately to a sudden drop in tire pressure ( for example , a blow-out caused by running over a sharp object ).
WARNING
. If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving , never brake suddenly . Instead , perform the following procedure . Otherwise an accident involving serious vehicle damage and serious personal injury could occur .
( 1 ) Keep driving straight ahead while gradually reducing speed .
( 2 ) Slowly pull off the road to a safe place .
( 3 ) Check the pressure for all four tires and adjust the pressure to the COLD tire pressure shown on the tire inflation pressure label on the door pillar on the driver ’ s side .
If this light still illuminates while driving after adjusting the tire pressure , a tire may have significant damage and a fast leak that causes the tire to lose air rapidly . If you have a flat tire , refer to “ Flat Tires ” FP429 .
. When a replacement 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 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 .
