How to Change kPa to PSI in a Subaru Impreza

At Conley Subaru in Bradenton, FL, we believe in empowering our customers to get the most out of their Subaru vehicles, including understanding and controlling important vehicle settings. One setting that many drivers may want to adjust is the tire pressure unit, switching from kPa (kilopascals) to psi (pounds per square inch) for easier monitoring.

If you drive a Subaru Impreza, here’s a simple, step-by-step guide on how to change the tire pressure units from kPa to psi.

Step-by-Step Guide to Change Tire Pressure Units in Your Subaru Impreza Premium

1. Locate the Buttons

Start by looking for the three buttons to the left of your steering wheel. These buttons include:

• Two arrows (up and down)

• The middle button labeled “I Set”.

2. Access the Tire Pressure Menu

Press and hold the “I Set” button until the screen on your centered display changes. You’ll need to hold the button until the screen shows a prompt that says: “Pull and hold I Set switch for menu.” Once you see that, release the I Set button.

3. Navigate to Tire Pressure Settings

The first screen you’ll see is Screen Settings. Use the arrows to navigate to “Tire Pressure Units.” To get there, pull the I Set button quickly. The display will show “kPa” as the current setting.

4. Switch to psi

Now, use the down arrow button to change the units. Press it once to switch from kPa to psi. Then, pull the I Set button once more. You should now see the message “Setting Complete” on the display screen.

Why Change Tire Pressure Units?

The default unit for tire pressure in many Subaru models is kPa. However, psi is often preferred, especially in the U.S., as it’s a more commonly used unit for tire pressure measurement. By switching the display to psi, you can quickly assess the health of your tires in a format that’s more familiar and easy to read.

Conclusion

Changing your tire pressure units from kPa to psi in your Subaru Impreza is quick and easy with just a few button presses.
