Subaru Forester: Tires and wheels / Tire inspection
Check on a daily basis that the tires
are free from serious damage,
nails, and stones. At the same time,
check the tires for abnormal wear.
Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately
if you find any problems.
NOTE
- When the wheels and tires
strike curbs or are subjected to
harsh treatment as when the
vehicle is driven on a rough
surface, they can suffer damage
that cannot be seen with the
naked eye. This type of damage
does not become evident until
time has passed. Try not to drive
over curbs, potholes or on other
rough surfaces. If doing so is
unavoidable, keep the vehicle’s
speed down to a walking pace or
less, and approach the curbs as
squarely as possible. Also, make
sure the tires are not pressed
against the curb when you 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.
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 and the spare (if
equipped) at least once a month
and before any long journey...

Replacing lost transmitters.
If you lose a transmitter or want to
purchase additional transmitters (up to
four can be programmed), your transmitters
should be reprogrammed for security
reasons. For details, contact your
SUBARU dealer and have the transmitters
programmed into the remote keyless entry
system...
