increase in temperature could cause tread

separation, and destruction of the tires. The

resulting loss of vehicle control could lead to

an accident.

J Wheel balance

Each wheel was correctly balanced when your ve-

hicle was new, but the wheels will become unbal-

anced 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 systems problems and ab-

normal tire wear. If you suspect that the wheels are

not correctly balanced, have them checked and ad-

justed by your SUBARU dealer. Also have them ad-

justed after tire repairs and after tire rotation.

NOTE

Loss of correct wheel alignment* causes the

tires to wear on one side and reduces the ve-

hicle’s running stability. Contact your SUBARU

dealer if you notice abnormal tire wear.

* : The suspension system is designed to hold each wheel

at a certain alignment (relative to the other wheels and to

the road) for optimum straight-line stability and cornering

performance.

J Wear indicators

Each tire incorporates a tread wear indicator, which

becomes visible when the depth of the tread

grooves decreases to 0.063 in. (1.6 mm). A tire must

be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears

as a solid band across the tread.
