CAUTION

If you continue to drive despite the scraping

noise from the audible brake pad wear indica-

tor, it will result in the need for costly brake

rotor repair or replacement.

J Breaking-in of new brake pads and

linings

When replacing the brake pad or lining, use only

genuine SUBARU parts. After replacement, the new

parts must be broken in as follows:

B Brake pad and lining

While maintaining a speed of 30 to 40 mph (50 to 65

km/h), step on the brake pedal lightly. Repeat this

five or more times.

B Parking brake lining

1. Drive the vehicle at a speed of about 22 mph (35

km/h).

2. With the parking brake release button pushed in,

pull the parking brake lever SLOWLY and GENTLY.

(Pulling with a force of approximately 33 lb [147 N,

15 kg].)

3. Drive the vehicle for about 220 yards (200 me-

ters) in this condition.

4. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the parking brake to cool

down. Repeat this procedure.

5. Check the parking brake stroke. If the parking

brake stroke is out of the specified range, adjust it

by turning the adjusting nut located on the parking

brake lever.

Parking brake stroke:

7 – 8 notches / 44 lb (196 N, 20 kg)

WARNING

A safe location and situation should be se-

lected for break-in driving.

CAUTION

Pulling the parking brake lever too forcefully

may cause the rear wheels to lock. To avoid

this, be certain to pull the lever up slowly and

gently.
