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 ill uminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road w heels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible
for tire and sensor replacement and/
or system resetting.
Do no t inject any tir e liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
If the light illuminates steadily after
blinking for approximately one min-
ute, promptly contact a SUBARU
dealer to have the system inspected.
