New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1600 km [1000 miles])
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you
handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions
during the first 1600 km (1000 miles):
●
Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4000 rpm except in an emer-
gency.
●
Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time,
either fast or slow.
●
Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
●
Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled
engine, newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake linings are
replaced with new ones.
■
Replacement of brake pad and lining
The front disc brake and the 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.
■
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 50 to 65 km/h (30 to 40 mph), step on the
brake pedal lightly. Repeat this five or more times.
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.
