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 .
& Breaking-In of New Brake Pads ( CVT Models ) s11at02
