! 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” FP574.
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 unavoidable, keep the vehicle’ s speed down to a walking pace or less, and approach the curbs as squarely as possible. Also, make sure the tires are not pressed against the curb when you park the vehicle.
. If you feel unusual vibration while driving or find it difficult to steer the vehicle in a straight line, one of the tires and / or wheels may be damaged. Drive slowly to the nearest authorized SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected.
& Tire Pressures and Wear s11av04
Maintaining the correct tire pressures helps to maximize the tires’ service lives and is essential for good running performance. Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure of each tire and the spare( if equipped) at least once a month and before any long journey.
