11-22 Maintenance and service

& Checking the brake pedal

reserve distance

1) More than 2.16 in (55 mm)

Depress the pedal with a force of approxi-

mately 66 lbf (294 N, 30 kgf) and measure

the distance between the upper surface of

the pedal pad and the floor.

When the measurement is smaller than

the specification, or when the pedal does

not operate smoothly, contact with your

SUBARU dealer.

Replacement of brake pad

and lining

CAUTION

If you continue to drive despite the

scraping noise from the audible

brake pad wear indicator, it will

result in the need for costly brake

rotor repair or replacement.

The front disc brake and the right rear disc

brake have audible wear indicators on the

brake pads. If the brake pads wear close

to their service limit, the wear indicator

makes a very audible scraping noise

when the brake pedal is applied.

If you hear this scraping noise each time

you apply the brake pedal, have the brake

pads serviced by your SUBARU dealer as

soon as possible.

& 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:

! 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.

! Parking brake lining

WARNING

A safe location and situation should

be selected for break-in driving.

CAUTION

Pressing the parking brake pedal

too forcefully may cause the rear

wheels to lock. To avoid this, be

certain to press the pedal slowly

and gently.
