Brake fluid
&
Checking fluid level
Check the fluid level monthly.
Check the fluid level on the outside of the
reservoir. If the level is below
“
MIN
”
, add
the recommended brake fluid to
“
MAX
”
.
Use only brake fluid from a sealed
container.
WARNING
.
Never let brake fluid contact your
eyes because brake fluid can be
harmful to your eyes. If brake
fluid gets in your eyes, immedi-
ately flush them thoroughly with
clean water. For safety, when
performing this work, wearing
eye protection is advisable.
.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture
from the air. Any absorbed moist-
ure can cause a dangerous loss
of braking performance.
.
If the vehicle requires frequent
refilling, there may be a leak. If
you suspect a problem, we re-
commend that you have the
vehicle checked at your SUBARU
dealer.
CAUTION
.
Never use different brands of
brake fluid together. Also, avoid
mixing DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake
fluids even if they are of the same
brand.
.
When adding brake fluid, be care-
ful not to allow any dirt into the
reservoir.
.
Never splash the brake fluid over
painted surfaces or rubber parts.
Alcohol contained in the brake
fluid may damage them.
.
Be careful not to spill brake fluid
when adding it. If fluid comes
into contact with the exhaust
pipe, it may cause a bad smell,
smoke, and/or a fire. If fluid gets
on the exhaust pipe, be sure to
wipe it off.
