2Maintenance and service Parking brake stroke Tires and wheels Types of tires You should be familiar with type of tires present on your vehicle. UG7509CA Check the parking brake stroke according to the maintenance schedule in the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”. When the parking brake is properly adjusted, braking power is fully applied by pulling the lever up seven to eight notches gently but firmly (about 44 lbs, 196 N, 20 kg).
2Maintenance and service T Winter (snow) tires Winter tires are best suited for driving on snow-covered and icy roads. However winter tires do not perform as well as summer tires and all season tires on roads other than snow-covered and icy roads. Tire inspection 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.
2Maintenance and service a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the values shown on the tire placard. The tire placard is located on the door pillar on the driver’s side. Incorrect tire pressures detract from controllability and ride comfort, and they cause the tires to wear abnormally. Driving even a short distance warms up the tires and increases the tire pressures. Also, the tire pressures are affected by the ambient temperature.
2Maintenance and service y Abnormally low tire pressure (tread worn at shoulders) HSB053AA Rolling resistance is high, so fuel consumption is also higher. y Abnormally high tire pressure (tread worn in center) HSB054AA Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire magnifies the effects of road-surface bumps and dips, possibly resulting in vehicle damage. Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires to deform severely and to rapidly become hot.
2Maintenance and service of vehicle control could lead to an accident. Wheel balance Each wheel was correctly balanced when your vehicle was new, but the wheels will become unbalanced as the tires become worn during use. Wheel imbalance causes the steering wheel to vibrate slightly at certain vehicle speeds and detracts from the vehicle’s straight-line stability. It can also cause steering and suspension system problems and abnormal tire wear.
2Maintenance and service ible, the tire is worn beyond the acceptable limit and must be replaced immediately. With a tire in this condition, driving at high speeds in wet weather can cause the vehicle to hydroplane. The resulting loss of vehicle control can lead to an accident. NOTE For safety, inspect the tire tread regularly and replace the tires before their tread wear indicators become visible. Tire wear varies from wheel to wheel.
2Maintenance and service shown on the tire placard. Using tires of a non-specified size detracts from controllability, ride comfort, braking performance, speedometer accuracy and odometer accuracy. It also creates incorrect body-to-tire clearances and inappropriately changes the vehicle’s ground clearance. All four tires must be the same in terms of manufacturer, brand (tread pattern), construction, and size.
2Maintenance and service Wheel covers T Installing the wheel cover T Removing the wheel cover UGA013BA UB9032BA Insert the wheel nut wrench into the notch provided, and pry the wheel cover off. Align the valve with the valve hole in the cover, then fit the cover on the wheel by tapping your hand evenly around the circumference of the cover.
2Maintenance and service Aluminum wheels (if equipped) Aluminum wheels can be scratched and damaged easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their appearance, performance, and safety. y 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 approximatly 600 miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to the specified torque. y Never apply oil to the threaded parts, wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the wheel.
