ered and icy roads. However winter tires do not

have adequate performance compared with sum-

mer tires and all season tires on roads other than

snow-covered and icy roads.

J 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.

NOTE

D 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 other rough surface. 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 curbs

when you park the vehicle.

D 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 dam-

aged. Drive slowly to the nearest authorized

SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected.

J Tire pressures and wear

Maintaining the correct tire pressures helps to maxi-

mize the tires’ service lives and is essential for good

running performance. Check and, if necessary, ad-

just the pressure of each tire (including the spare) at

least once a month (for example, during a fuel stop)

and before any long journey.

Check the tire pressures when the tires are cold.

Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to

the values shown on the tire placard. The tire plac-

ard is located on the door pillar on the driver’s side.
