Replacement of brake pad and lining
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 replacement.
OM-H0163
The front disc brake has an audible wear indicator on the brake pads.
For RS models, the right side rear disc brake also has a audible wear
indicator. If the brake pads wear close to their service limit, the wear indi-
cator makes a very audible scraping noise when the brake pedal is ap-
plied.
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 pos-
sible.

parts. After replacement, the new parts must be broken in as follows:

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.
