Tire Inspection - Subaru Ascent 2023 Manual

itoring system checked at a
SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
If this light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly and keep
driving straight ahead while gradu-
ally reducing speed. Then slowly
pull off the road to a safe place.
Otherwise, an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.
If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may have significant
damage and a fast leak 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 1 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 sys-
tem resetting. If the light illuminates
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately 1 minute, promptly contact a
SUBARU dealer to have the system
inspected.
! TPMS valve self-registration
When the wheels are replaced (such as
when installing snow tires) or when a new
TPMS valve is mounted on a new installed
wheel, you will need to perform TPMS
valve self-registration. Refer to the follow-
ing procedure to perform TPMS valve self-
registration.
1. Install the wheels with TPMS valves on
the vehicle.
2. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified
value. For information about the spe-
cified value of the tire pressure, refer to
"Tires" �P526.
3. Drive at speeds above 25 mph (40
km/h) for at least 4 miles (6 km) or until
the low tire pressure warning light turns
off.
NOTE
. When installing TPMS valves, use
only genuine SUBARU parts.
. Registration of TPMS valves can
also be done at a SUBARU dealer.
Consult your SUBARU dealer.
Tires and wheels
& Tire inspection
Check on a daily basis that the tires
are free from serious damage,
nails, and stones. At the same time,
check the tires for abnormal wear.
Contact your SUBARU dealer im-
mediately if you find any problems.
NOTE
When the wheels and tires
.
strike curbs or are subjected
to harsh treatment as when the
vehicle is driven on a rough
surface, they can suffer da-
mage that cannot be seen with
the naked eye. This type of
damage does not become evi-
dent until time has passed. Try
not to drive over curbs, pot-
holes or on other rough sur-
faces. If doing so is unavoid-
able, keep the vehicle's speed
down to a walking pace or less,
and approach the curbs as
squarely as possible. Also,
make sure the tires are not
pressed against the curb when
