Maintenance and service
– CONTINUED –
Aluminum wheels (If equipped)
Aluminum wheels can be scratched and damaged
easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their appear-
ance, performance, and safety.
" When any of the wheels is removed and replaced
for tire rotation or to change a flat, 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.
"
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, be sure to replace them with genuine
SUBARU parts designed for aluminum wheels.
Intercooler water spray
Add water to the intercooler water spray tank when the
intercooler water spray warning light in the combina-
tion meter comes on. The warning light comes on
when the water in the tank has decreased to approxi-
mately 0.4 liters (0.4 US qt, 0.4 Imp qt).
