Aluminum Wheels; Windshield Washer Fluid - Subaru 2012 Forester Owner's Manual

! Installing the wheel cover
Align the valve with the valve hole in the
cover, then fit the cover on the wheel by
tapping your hand evenly around the
circumference of the cover.

Aluminum wheels

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 tire, always check the tightness of
the wheel nuts after driving approximately
600 miles (1,000 km). 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.
. When wheel nuts, balance weights, or
the center cap is replaced, be sure to
replace them with genuine SUBARU parts
designed for aluminum wheels.
