Replacement of brake pad and lining
The front disc brakes and the right rear disc brake
have an 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, have the brake pads serviced by
your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
If you continue to drive despite the scraping
noise from the audible brake pad wear indica-
tor, it will result in the need for costly brake
rotor repair or replacement.

linings

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