In case of emergency

CONTINUED

When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel rim is

replaced without the original pressure sensor/

transmitter being transferred, the low tire pres-

sure warning light will flash. This indicates the

TPMS is unable to monitor all four road wheels.

Contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-

ble for tire and sensor replacement and/or sys-

tem resetting.

Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire seal-

ant into the tires, as this may cause a malfunc-

tion of the tire pressure sensors.

If the light flashes, promptly contact a SUBARU

dealer to have the system inspected.

Jump starting

"

Battery fluid is SULFURIC ACID. Do not let it

come in contact with the eyes, skin, clothing or

the vehicle.

If battery fluid gets on you, thoroughly flush the

exposed area with water immediately. Get med-

ical help if the fluid has entered your eyes.

If battery fluid is accidentally swallowed, imme-

diately drink a large amount of milk or water,

and obtain immediate medical help.

Keep everyone including children away from

the battery.
"

The gas generated by a battery explodes if a

flame or spark is brought near it. Do not smoke

or light a match while jump starting.
"

Never attempt jump starting if the discharged

battery is frozen. It could cause the battery to

burst or explode.
"

Whenever working on or around a battery, al-

ways wear suitable eye protectors, and remove

metal objects such as rings, bands or other

metal jewelry.
"

Be sure the jumper cables and clamps on

them do not have loose or missing insulation.
