Subaru 2001 Legacy Owner's Manual page 343

D Do not use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts when the
spare tire is installed. This could cause the nuts to become loose
and lead to an accident.
D Never place a tire or tire changing tools in the passenger
compartment after changing wheels. In a sudden stop or colli-
sions, loose equipment could strike occupants and cause injury.
Store the tire and all tools in the proper place.
If you have a flat tire while driving, never brake suddenly; keep driving
straight ahead while gradually reducing speed. Then slowly pull off the
road to a safe place.
1. Park on a hard, level surface, whenever possible, then stop the en-
gine.
2. Set the parking brake securely and shift a manual transmission ve-
hicle in reverse or an automatic transmission vehicle in the "P" (Park)
position.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher and have everyone get out of the
vehicle.
4. Put wheel blocks at the front and rear of the tire diagonally opposite
the flat tire.
