MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
11-17. ALLOY WHEELS s11bm
Alloy wheels can be scratched and damaged easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their appearance, performance, and safety.
. When any of the wheels is removed and replaced for tire rotation or to change a flat, always check the tightness of the wheel nuts after driving approximately 600 miles( 1,000 km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to the specified torque.
. Never apply oil to the threaded parts, wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the wheel.
. Never let the wheel rub against sharp protrusions or curbs.
. When wheel nuts, balance weights, or the center cap is replaced, be sure to replace them with genuine SUBARU parts designed for alloy wheels.
. When stacking and storing removed tires, place shock-absorbing material between the tires to protect the wheels from becoming scratched.
