Maintenance and service
Aluminum wheels (if
equipped)
Aluminum wheels can be scratched and
damaged easily. Handle them carefully to
maintain their appearance, performance,
and safety.
. When any of the wheels are removed
and replaced for tire rotation or to change
a flat, always check the tightness of the
wheel nuts after driving approximately
1,000 km (600 miles). If any nut is loose,
tighten it to the specified torque.
. Never apply oil to the threaded parts,
wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the
wheel.
. Never let the wheel rub against sharp
protrusions or curbs.
. Be sure to fit tire chains on uniformly
and completely around the tire, otherwise
the chains may scratch the wheel.
. When wheel nuts, balance weights, or
the center cap is replaced, we recommend
that you replace them with genuine
SUBARU parts designed for aluminum
wheels.

Windshield washer fluid

If you spray washer fluid on the windshield
but the supply of washer fluid appears to
diminish, check the level of washer fluid in
the tank.
To check the fluid level, perform the
following procedure.
1. Remove the washer tank filler cap.
2. Pull up the washer tank filler cap with
the center of the cap pressed with your
finger.
