INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
illuminated , the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended . TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons , including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly . Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly .
Should the warning light illuminate steadily after blinking for approximately one minute , have the system inspected by your nearest SUBARU dealer as soon as possible .
WARNING
If this light does not illuminate briefly after the ignition switch is turned on or the light illuminates steadily after blinking 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 ” FP459 .
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 .
CAUTION
The tire pressure monitoring system is NOT a substitute for manually checking tire pressure . The tire pressure should be checked periodically ( at least monthly ) using a tire gauge . After any change to tire pressure ( s ), the tire pressure monitoring system will not recheck tire inflation pressures until the vehicle is first driven more than 25 mph ( 40 km / h ). After adjusting the tire pressures , increase the vehicle speed to at least 25 mph ( 40 km / h ) to start the TPMS re-checking of the tire inflation pressures . If the tire pressures are now above the severe low pressure threshold , the low tire pressure warning light should turn off a few minutes later . Therefore , be sure to install the specified size for the front and rear tires .
