2022 SUBARU BRZ parking brake

Towing
324holes, return the plugs to their original
places.■
Using a Flat-Bed Truck
This is the best way to transport your
vehicle. Use the following procedures to
ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the select lever into the “P” posi-
tion for AT models. Shift the shift lever into
the “1st” position for MT models.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier
properly with safety chains. Each safety
chain should be equally tightened and
care must be taken not to pull the chains
so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.
■
Towing with All Wheels on
the Ground
WARNING
Use the rear tie-down holes only for
downward anchoring. If they are
used to anchor the vehicle in any
other direction, cables may slip out
of the holes, possibly causing a
dangerous situation.

CAUTION
Transport by flat-bed truck may
cause the headlights to become
misaligned. In such a case, have the
headlight alignment checked by a
SUBARU dealer after transporting
the vehicle by flat-bed truck.
WARNING
 Never turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position while the
vehicle is being towed because
the steering wheel and the direc-
tion of the wheels will be locked.Remember that the brake booster
and power steering do not func-
tion when the engine is not
running. Because the engine is
turned off, it w ill take greater
effort to operate the brake pedal
and steering wheel.

In Case of Emergency9
– CONTINUED –
1. Release the parking brake and put the
transmission in neutral.
2. The ignition switch should be in the
“ON” position while the vehicle is being
towed.
3. Take up slack in the towline slowly to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
9-7. Access Key Fob – If
Access Key Fob Does Not Operate ProperlyThe following functions may be inoperable
because of strong radio signals in the
surrounding area or a low battery condi-
tion of the access key fob.
Locking/unlocking doors including
trunk
 Switching power status
 Starting engine
In such cases, perform the following
procedure. When the battery of the
access key fob is discharged, replace it
with a new one. Refer to "Replacing
Battery of Access Key Fob" P376.
CAUTION
 If transmission failure occurs,
transport your vehicle on a flat-
bed truck.Sometime damaged vehicles
cannot be towed because of their
damaged condition. In that case,
use a flat-bed truck for transpor-
tation.The traveling speed must be
limited to less than 20 mph (32
km/h) and the traveling distance
to less than 19 miles (30 km). For
greater speeds and distances,
transport your vehicle on a flat-
bed truck.Use a flat-bed truck if there are
long distance downgrades or
steep slopes. However, do not
apply the brake pedal for a long
time because the engine braking
will not work while towing. Doing
so could overheat the brake.Drive carefully and do not make
an impact on the towing rope by
suddenly starting.
Use a specific towing rope for
towing. If wire ropes and metal
chains are needed to be used for
towing, wrap the contact portion
of the bumper with cloth to
protect it from damage.
CAUTION
Keep metallic objects, magnetic
sources and signal transmitters
away from the area between the
access key fob and the push-button
ignition switch. They may interfere
with the communication between
the access key fob and the push-
button ignition switch.

Corrosion Protection
334Do not use detergent on the wheels
when they are hot, such as after driving or
parking in hot weather.■
Alloy Wheels (Vehicles with
Matte P ainted Wheels)
As matte painted wheels require different
cleaning methods than conventional alloy
wheels, be sure to observe the following.
For details, consult your SUBARU dealer.
Remove dirt using water. If the wheels
are excessively dirty, use a sponge or soft
cloth dampened with a diluted neutral
detergent to remove the dirt.
 To prevent the matte paint from being
damaged, make sure to observe the
following precautions:
- Do not scrub or polish the wheels
using a brush or dry cloth.
- Do not use any wheel coatings or
abrasive detergents.
10-2. Corrosion ProtectionYour SUBARU has been designed and
built to resist corrosi on. Special materials
and protective finishes have been used on
most parts of the vehicle to help maintain
fine appearance, strength, and reliable
operation.■
Most Common Causes of
Corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
are:
 The accumulation of moisture retaining
dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas.
 Damage to paint and other protective
coatings caused by gravel and stone
chips or minor accidents.
Corrosion is accelera ted on the vehicle
when:
 It is exposed to road salt or dust control
chemicals, or used in coastal areas where
there is more salt in the air, or in areas
where there is considerable industrial
pollution.
 It is driven in areas of high humidity,
especially when temperatures range just
above freezing.
 Dampness in certain parts of the
vehicle remains for a long time, even though other parts of the vehicle may be
dry.

High temperatures will cause corrosion
to parts of the vehicle which cannot dry
quickly due to lack of proper ventilation.
■
To Help Prevent Corrosion
Wash the vehicle regularly to prevent
corrosion of the body and suspension
components. Also, wash the vehicle
promptly after driving on any of the
following surfaces.
 Roads that have been salted to prevent
them from freezing in winter
 Mud, sand, or gravel
 Coastal roads
After the winter has ended, it is recom-
mended that the underbody be given a
very thorough washing.
Before the beginning of winter, check the
condition of underbody components, such
as the exhaust system, fuel and brake
lines, brake cables, suspension, steering
system, floor pan, and fenders. If any of
them are found to be rusted, they should
be given an appropriate rust prevention
treatment or should be replaced. Contact
your SUBARU dealer to perform this kind
of maintenance and treatment if you need
assistance.
Repair chips and scratches in the paint as
soon as you find them.

Maintenance Precautions
340NOTESUBARU does not endorse the use of
non-SUBARU approved flushing sys-
tems and strongly advises against per-
forming these services on a SUBARU
vehicle. Non-SUBARU approved flush-
ing systems use chemicals and/or sol-
vents which have not been tested or
approved by SUBARU. SUBARU war-
ranties do not cover any part of the
vehicle which is damaged by adding or
applying chemicals and/or solvents
other than those approved or recom-
mended by SUBARU.

Before Checking or
Servicing in the Engine
Compartment
■
When Checking or Servicing
in the Engine Compartment
Do not tamper wi th the wiring of
the SRS airbag system or seatbelt
pretensioner system, or attempt
to take its connectors apart, as
that may activate the system or it
can render it inoperative. NEVER
use a circuit tester for these
wiring. If your SRS airbag or
seatbelt pretensioner needs
service, consult your nearest
SUBARU dealer. Check the inside of the engine
compartment to see if there are
any cloths and tools left. If they
are left inside, they may be a
cause of malfunction and fire.
WARNING
Always stop the engine and apply
the parking brake to prevent the
vehicle from moving.Always let the engine cool down.
Engine parts become very hot
when the engine is running and
remain hot for some time after the
engine is stopped.Do not spill engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid or any other
fluid on hot engine components.
This may cause a fire.When the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position, the cooling fan
may operate suddenly even when
the engine is stopped. If your
body or clothes come into
contact with a rotating fan, that
could result in serious injury. To
avoid risk of injury, always turn
the push-button i gnition switch to
the “OFF” position and confirm
that the operation indicator on
the switch is turn ed off. Then take
the access key fob out from the
vehicle.
 Before performing any servicing
on a vehicle equipped with a
remote engine start system
temporarily place that system in
the service mode to prevent it
from unexpectedly starting the
engine.

Maintenance and Service11
The disc brakes have audible wear indica-
tors 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 and Linings
When replacing the brake pad or lining,
use only genuine SUBARU parts. After
replacement, the new parts must be
broken in as follows.
▼
Brake pad and lining
While maintaining a speed of 30 to 40 mph
(50 to 65 km/h), step on the brake pedal
lightly. Repeat this five or more times.
▼Parking brake lining
1. Drive the vehicle at a speed of approx-
imately 22 mph (35 km/h).
2. With the parking brake release button
pushed in, pull the parking brake lever
SLOWLY and GENTLY (pulling with a
force of approximately 33.7 lbf [150 N,
15.3 kgf]). 3. Drive the vehicle for approximately
220 yards (200 meters) in this condition.
4. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the parking
brake to cool down. Repeat this proce-
dure.
5. Check the parking brake lever travel. If
the parking brake lever travel is out of the
