Maintenance Tools - Subaru Outback 2015 Manual

CAUTION
. Never use any temporary spare
tire other than the original. Using
other sizes may result in severe
mechanical damage to the drive
train of your vehicle.
. Always conform to the following
instructions when using the tem-
porary spare tire. Otherwise, a
seriously dangerous situation
may occur.
The temporary spare tire is smaller and
lighter than a conventional tire and is
designed for emergency use only. Re-
move the temporary spare tire and re-
install the conventional tire as soon as
possible because the spare tire is de-
signed only for temporary use.
Check the inflation pressure of the tem-
porary spare tire periodically to keep the
tire ready for use. For the correct pres-
sure, refer to "Tires" F12-12.
When using the temporary spare tire, note
the following.
. Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
. Do not put a tire chain on the temporary
spare tire. Because of the smaller tire size,
a tire chain will not fit properly.
. Do not use two or more temporary
spare tires at the same time.
. Do not drive over obstacles. This tire
has a smaller diameter, so road clearance
is reduced.
1) Tread wear indicator bar
2) Indicator location mark
. When the wear indicator appears on
the tread, replace the tire.
. The temporary spare tire must be used
only on a rear wheel. If a front wheel tire
gets punctured, replace the wheel with a
rear wheel and install the temporary spare
tire in place of the removed rear wheel.
