CAUTION
■
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot holes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire air pressure, reducing the cush-
ioning ability of the tires. In addition driving on rough roads may cause dam-
age to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle's wheels and body.
■
Low profile tires and wheels (vehicles with 17-inch tires)
Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the wheel when
receiving impact from the road surface. Therefore pay attention to the follow-
ing:
●
Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they
may be damaged more severely.
●
Avoid pot holes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards. Failure
to do so can lead to severe tire and wheel damage.
■
If tire pressures become low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
■
Wheel balance
Loss of correct wheel alignment causes the tires to wear on one side and
reduces the vehicle's running stability. We recommend that you contact your
SUBARU dealer if you notice abnormal tire wear.
