7-28 Starting and operating

WARNING

If the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates w hile driving, never

brake suddenly and keep driving

straight ahead while gradually redu-

cing speed. Then slowly pull off the

road to a safe place. Otherwise an

accident involving serious vehicle

damage and serious personal injury

could occur.

Check the pressure for all four tires

and adjust the pressure to the COLD

tire pressure shown on the tire

placard on the door pillar on the

driver’s side.

Even when the vehicle is driven a

very short distance, the tires get

warm and their pressures increase

accordingly. Be sure to let the tires

cool thoroughly before adjusting

their pressures to the standard

values shown on the tire placard.

(Refer to the “Tires and wheels”

section in chapter 11.) The tire

pressure monitoring system does

not functi on when the vehicle is

stationary. After adjusting the tire

pressures, increase the vehicle

speed to at least 20 mph (32 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.

If this light still illuminates while

driving after adjusting the tire pres-

sure, a tire may have significant

damage and a fast leak that causes

the tire to lose air rapidly. If you have

a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire

as soon as possible.

When a spare tire is mounted or a

wheel rim is replaced without the

original pressure sensor/transmitter

being transferred, the low tire pres-

sure warning light will illuminate

steadily after blinking for approxi-

mately 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.

Do not inject any tire liquid or

aerosol tire sealant into the tires,

as this may cause a malfunction of

the tire pressure sensors. If the light

illuminates steadily after blinking for

approximately one minute, promptly

contact a SUBARU dealer to have

the system inspected.

CAUTION

Do not place metal film or any metal

parts under the driver’s seat. This

may cause poor reception of the

signals from the tire pressure sen-

sors, and the tire pressure monitor-

ing system will not function prop-

erly.
