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.
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealant, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not oper-
ate properly. If a liquid sealant is
used, contact your nearest SUBARU
dealer or other qualified service
shop as soon as possible. Make
sure to replace the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter when
replacing the tire. You may reuse the
wheel if there is no damage to it and
if the sealant residue is properly
cleaned off.
If the light illuminates steadily after
blinking for approximately one min-
ute, promptly contact a SUBARU
dealer to have the system inspected.
