2-1. Driving procedures
Parking brake lining
Drive the vehicle at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h).
With the parking brake release button pushed in, pull the parking
brake lever SLOWLY and GENTLY (pulling with a force of approxi-
mately 33.7 lbf [150 N, 15.3 kgf]).
Drive the vehicle for approximately 220 yards (200 meters) in this
condition.
Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the parking brake to cool down. Repeat this
procedure.
Check the parking brake lever travel. If the parking brake lever
travel is out of the specified range, adjust it by turning the adjusting
nut located on the parking brake lever.
Parking brake lever travel: →P. 425
■ Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your
SUBARU dealer perform the bedding down. (→P. 151)
■ After the engine starts
In order to secure a rich exhaust sound when starting the vehicle and envi-
ronmental performance, air intake and exhaust sounds become loud and
vibrations may increase for a little while after the engine starts. This is not a
malfunction.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (→P. 419)
