2-1. Driving procedures

When driving
■New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1000 miles [1600 km])
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you
handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions
during the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
●Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4000 rpm except in an emer-
gency.
●Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time,
either fast or slow.
●Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
●Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled engine,
newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake linings are replaced
with new ones.
■Replacement of brake pad and lining
The front disc brake and the rear disc brake 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.
■Breaking-in of new brake pads and linings
When replacing the brake pad or li ning, 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. 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.

4-2. Maintenance
Emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs
Some states have vehicle emission inspection programs which
include OBD (On Board Diagnostics) checks. The OBD system moni-
tors the operation of the emission control system.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on
The OBD system determines that a problem exists somewhere
in the emission control system. Your vehicle may not pass the I/
M test and may need to be repaired. Contact your SUBARU
dealer to service the vehicle.
■Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test: ● When the battery is disconnected or discharged
Readiness codes that are set during ordinary driving are
erased.
Also, depending on your driving habits, the readiness codes
may not be completely set.
● When the fuel tank cap is loose
The malfunction indicator lamp comes on as a temporary mal-
function and your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.
■When the malfunction indicator lamp goes off after several
driving trips
The error code in the OBD system will not be cleared unless the
vehicle is driven 40 or more times.
■If your vehicle does not pass the I/M test
Contact your SUBARU dealer to prepare the vehicle for re-test-
ing.

fuel containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be
adversely affected.

this happens, contact your SUBARU dealer for service.

mum of 10% ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline
that could contain more than 10% etha-
nol, including from any pump labeled
E15, E30, E50, E85 (which are only
