Checking the Fluid Level
CAUTION
Using a differential gear oil other

eyes because brake fluid can be
harmful to your eyes. If brake
fluid gets in your eyes, immedi-
ately flush them thoroughly with
clean water. Fo r safety, when
performing this work, wearing
eye protection is advisable. Brake fluid absorbs moisture
from the air. Any absorbed mois-
ture can cause a dangerous loss
of braking performance.If the vehicle requires frequent
refilling, there may be a leak. If
you suspect a problem, have the
vehicle checked at your SUBARU
dealer.
CAUTION
When adding brake fluid, be
careful not to allow any dirt into
the reservoir.Never splash the brake fluid over
painted surfaces or rubber parts.
Alcohol contained in the brake
fluid may damage them.
