example, by nails or similar objects with
less than 0.2 in (4 mm). However, depend-
ing on the type and extent of tire damage,
some tires can only be partially sealed or
not sealed at all, and this condition may
cause a loss of tire pressure. A loss of tire
pressure can affect vehicle handling,
leading to the loss of vehicle control.
After sealing the flat tire temporarily,
change the tires with new ones as soon
as possible. We recommend that you have
the sealed tire changed by your nearest
SUBARU dealer. You may reuse the wheel
if the attached sealant is wiped off, but the
valve of the wheel must be replaced with a
new one. If you reuse the wheel without
replacing the valve, air may leak from the
valve. For tire replacement, refer to “Tire
Replacement” �P444.
