If the brake booster does not operate as described be-

low, have it checked by your SUBARU dealer.

1. With the engine off, depress the brake pedal sever-

al times, applying the same pedal force each time. The

distance the pedal travels should not vary.

2. With the brake pedal depressed, start the engine.

The pedal should move slightly down to the floor.

3. With the brake pedal depressed, stop the engine

and keep the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. The

pedal height should not change.

4. Start the engine again and run for about one minute

then turn it off. Depress the brake pedal several times

to check the brake booster. Brake booster operates

properly if the pedal stroke decreases with each de-

pression.
