Subaru Forester: Maintenance and service / Alloy wheels
Alloy wheels can be scratched and damaged
easily. Handle them carefully to
maintain their appearance, performance,
and safety.
- When any of the wheels are removed
and replaced for tire rotation or to change a
flat tire, always check the tightness of the
wheel nuts after driving approximately 600
miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose,
tighten it to the specified torque.
- Never apply oil to the threaded parts,
wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the
wheel.
- Never let the wheel rub against sharp
protrusions or curbs.
- When wheel nuts, balance weights, or
the center cap are replaced, be sure to
replace them with genuine SUBARU parts
designed for alloy wheels.
- When stacking and storing removed
tires, place shock-absorbing material between
the tires to protect the wheels from
becoming scratched.

deployment is shorter than the blink of an
eye.
The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated for a while following deployment then
slowly deflates...
