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.

may cause the rear wheels to lock. To avoid
this, be certain to pull the lever up slowly and
gently.
