BAJA U.S.A..A2310BE–A

11-40

D Abnormally high tire pressure (tread worn in center)

HSB013AA

Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire magnifies the effects of road-surface
bumps and dips, possibly resulting in vehicle damage.

If the tire placard shows tire pressures for the vehicle when fully loaded
and for the vehicle when towing a trailer, adjust the tire pressures to the
values that match current loading conditions.

WARNING

Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can
cause the tires to deform severely and to rapidly become hot. A
sharp increase in temperature could cause tread separation, and
destruction of the tires. The resulting loss of vehicle control
could lead to an accident.

J Wheel balance

Each wheel was correctly balanced when your vehicle was new, but the
wheels will become unbalanced as the tires become worn during use.
Wheel imbalance causes the steering wheel to vibrate slightly at certain
vehicle speeds and detracts from the vehicle’s straight-line stability. It
can also cause steering and suspension system problems and abnormal
tire wear. If you suspect that the wheels are not correctly balanced, have
them checked and adjusted by your SUBARU dealer. Also have them
adjusted after tire repairs and after tire rotation.
