1) 0.02–0.08 in (0.5–2.0 mm)
Stop the engine and firmly depress thebrake pedal several times. Lightly pull thebrake pedal up with one finger to checkthe free play with a force of less than 2 lbf(10 N, 1 kgf).
If the free play is not within properspecification, contact your SUBARU deal-er.
&Checking the brake pedal
reserve distance
1) More than 2.16 in (55 mm)
Depress the pedal with a force of approxi-mately 66 lbf (294 N, 30 kgf) and measurethe distance between the upper surface ofthe pedal pad and the floor.
When the measurement is smaller thanthe specification, or when the pedal doesnot operate smoothly, contact with yourSUBARU dealer.

Windshield washer fluid
CAUTION
Never use engine coolant as washerfluid because it could cause paintdamage.
If you spray washer fluid on the windshieldbut thewindshield washer fluid warninglight illuminates or the supply of washerfluid appears to diminish, add washer fluidin the tank.
Remove the washer tank filler cap, thenadd washer fluid until it reaches the“FULL”mark on the tank.
After adding washer fluid, make sure thewindshieldwasher fluid warning light hasturned off.
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshieldwasher fluid is unavailable use cleanwater.
In areas where water freezes in winter,use an anti-freeze type windshield washerfluid. SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluidcontains 58.5% methyl alcohol and 41.5%surfactant, by volume. Its freezing tem-perature varies according to how much itis diluted, as indicated in the followingtable.
Washer FluidConcentrationFreezingTemperature
30%10.48F(!128C)
50%!48F(!208C)
100%!498F(!458C)
CAUTION
Never use engine coolant as washerfluid because it could cause paintdamage.
In order to prevent freezing of washerfluid, check the freezing temperatures inthe table above when adjusting the fluidconcentration to the outside temperature.
If you fill the reservoir tank with a fluid witha different concentration from the oneused previously, purge the old fluid fromthe piping between the reservoir tank andwasher nozzles by operating the washerfor a certain period of time. Otherwise, ifthe concentration of the fluid remaining inthe piping is too low for the outsidetemperature, it may freeze and block thenozzles.

The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on thetemperature and other factors..In choosing an oil, you want the proper quality and viscosity, as well as one that will enhance fuel economy. Oils of lowerviscosity provide better fuel economy. However, in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is required to properly lubricate theengine. The following table lists the recommended viscosities and applicable temperatures..When adding oil, different brands may be used togetheras long as they are the same API classification and SAE viscosityas those recommended by SUBARU.

Oil gradeSAE viscosity No. andapplicable temperatureEngine oil capacity
API classification SM or SN withthe words“ENERGY CONSERVING”or“RESOURCE CONSERVING”
or
ILSAC GF-4 or GF-5, which canbe identified with the ILSACcertification mark (Starburstmark)
Your vehicle is designed to use 5W-30conventional motor oil, however 5W-30synthetic may be used for optimumengine performance.
