11-14 . Replacement of brake pad |
S11AT
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 , 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 indicator , it will result in the need for costly brake rotor repair or replacement .
& Breaking-in of new brake pads
S11AT01

S11AV
& Types of tires
S11AV01
You should be familiar with the type of tires present on your vehicle .
! All season tires
S11AV0101
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
S11AV0102
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 .
