Alloy wheels ( if equipped )
S11BM
Alloy wheels can be scratched and damaged easily . Handle them carefully to maintain their appearance , performance , and safety .
. When any of the wheels are removed and replaced for tire rotation or to change a flat tire , 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 .
