A8110BE.book 31 ページ Maintenance and service 11-31 park the vehicle. If you feel unusual vibration while driving or find it difficult to steer the vehicle in a straight line, one of the tires and/or wheels may be damaged. Drive slowly to the nearest authorized SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected. Check the tire pressures when the tires are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the values shown on the tire placard. The tire placard is located on the door pillar on the driver's side. Driving even a short distance warms up the tires and increases the tire pressures. Also, the tire pressures are affected by the outside temperature. It is best to check tire pressure outdoors before driving the vehicle. When a tire becomes warm, the air inside it expands, causing the tire pressure to increase. Be careful not to mistakenly release air from a warm tire to reduce its pressure. Incorrect tire pressures detract from controllability and ride comfort, and they cause the tires to wear abnormally. Correct tire pressure (tread worn evenly) Tire pressures and wear Maintaining the correct tire pressures helps to maximize the tires' service lives and is essential for good running performance. Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure of each tire (including the spare) at least once a month (for example, during a fuel stop) and before any long journey. NOTE The air pressure in a tire increases by approximately 4.3 psi (30 kPa, 0.3 kgf/cm2) when the tire becomes warm. The tires are considered cold when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or has been driven less than one mile (1.6 km). B00050 Roadholding is good, and steering is responsive. Rolling resistance is low, so fuel consumption is also lower. 11 800221 Do not let air out of warm tires to adjust pressure. Doing so will result in low tire pressure. - CONTINUED -
