Tires and Wheels
ing for approximately one minute, you should have your Tire Pressure Monitoring System checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
If this 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. If the light illuminates steadily after blinking for approximately one minute, promptly contact a SUBARU dealer to have the system inspected.
! TPMS valve self-registration s11av0201
When the wheels are replaced( such as when installing snow tires) or when a new TPMS valve is mounted on a new installed wheel, you will need to perform TPMS valve self-registration. Refer to the following procedure to perform TPMS valve selfregistration.
1. Install the wheels with TPMS valves on the vehicle.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified value. For information about the specified value of the tire pressure, refer to“ Tires” FP510.
3. Drive at speeds above 25 mph( 40 km / h) for at least 4 miles( 6 km) or until the low tire pressure warning light turns off.
NOTE
. When installing TPMS valves, use only genuine SUBARU parts.
. Registration of TPMS valves can also be done at a SUBARU dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer.
& Tire Inspection s11av03
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.
Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately if you find any problem.
NOTE
. When the wheels and tires strike curbs or are subjected to harsh treatment as when the vehicle is driven on a rough surface, they can suffer damage that cannot be seen with the naked eye. This type of damage does not become evident until time has passed. Try not to drive over curbs, potholes or on other rough surfaces. If doing so is unavoid-
