Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms); (U.s.-Spec. Models) - Subaru Ascent 2023 Manual

WARNING
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.
14. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise
to lower the vehicle.
15. Use the wheel nut wrench to securely
tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque, following the tightening order in
the illustration.
For the wheel nut tightening torque,
refer to "Tires" �P526. Never use your
foot on the wheel nut wrench or a pipe
extension on the wrench because you
may exceed the specified torque. Have
the wheel nut torque checked at the
nearest automotive service facility.
WARNING
Do not use the extension when
turning the wheel nuts. If you did,
you would not be able to achieve
sufficient tightening torque. The
wheel nuts could then come loose,
resulting in a serious accident.
16. Store the flat tire in the spare tire
holder.
Refer to "Removing the spare tire"
�P447 for its location, instructions
and precautions.
17. Store the jack, jack handle and wheel
nut wrench in their storage locations.
Flat tires
WARNING
Never place a tire or tire changing
tools in the passenger compartment
after changing wheels. In a sudden
stop or collision, loose equipment
could strike occupants and cause
injury. Store the tire and all tools in
the proper place.
