Replacement of brake pad
CAUTION
.
If you continue to drive despite
the scraping noise from the audi-
ble brake pad wear indicator, it
will result in the need for costly
brake rotor repair or replace-
ment.
.
It is recommended that you dis-
connect the vehicle battery be-
fore replacing the brake pad.
However, it is dangerous to dis-
connect the vehicle battery. We
recommend that you have your
SUBARU dealer replace the
brake pad.
The disc brakes 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, we recommend
that you have the brake pads serviced by
your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
&
Breaking-in of new brake
pads
When replacing the brake pad, we re-
commend that you use only genuine
SUBARU parts. After replacement, the
new parts must be broken in as follows.
!
Brake pad
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.
Tires and wheels
&
Types of tires
You should be familiar with type of tires
present on your vehicle.
!
All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide
an adequate measure of traction, handling
and braking performance in year-round
driving including snowy and icy road
conditions. However all season tires do
not offer as much traction performance as
winter (snow) tires in heavy or loose snow
or on icy roads.
All season tires are identified by
“
ALL
SEASON
”
and/or
“
M+S
”
(Mud & Snow) on
the tire sidewall.
!
Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed capability
tires best suited for highway driving under
dry conditions.
Summer tires are inadequate for driving
on slippery roads such as on snow-
covered or icy roads.
If you drive your vehicle on snow-covered
or icy roads, we strongly recommend the
use of winter (snow) tires.
When installing winter tires, be sure to
replace all four tires.
