Maintenance and care
ground, place the tire so that the
wheel design faces up to avoid
scratching the wheel surface.
WARNING
■ Replacing a flat tire
● Do not touch the disc wheels or
the area around the brakes
immediately after the vehicle
has been driven.
After the vehicle has been
driven the disc wheels and the
area around the brakes will be
extremely hot. Touching these
areas with hands, feet or other
body parts while changing a tire,
etc. may result in burns.
● Failure to follow these precau-
tions could cause the wheel
bolts to loosen and the tire to fall
off, resulting in death or serious
injury.
• Never apply oil or grease to the
wheel bolts or their contact sur-
face on the wheel .
Doing so may cause the wheel
bolts to be tightened exces-
sively, leading to damage to the
wheel bolts, the threaded por-
tion the wheel bolts install to ,
or the wheel.
Also, the wheel bolts may come
loose, possibly leading to the
wheel coming off, causing a
serious accident.
If oil or grease is attached to
either of these parts, remove it.
● When installing a wheel, use the
same wheel bolts that were
removed with the wheel. Also,
do not use any wheel bolts
other than SUBARU Genuine
wheel bolts.
• If a wheel bolt hole in a wheel or
the threads of a wheel bolt or
the wheel hub are deformed,
cracked, rusty or otherwise
damaged, have the vehicle
inspected by your SUBARU
dealer.
