Maintenance and service/Aluminum wheels
! 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 (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.
