■Brake (vehicles with brembo brake)
●Painted brake calipers
• When using detergent, use neutral detergent. Do not use hard brushes
or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the paint.
• Do not use detergent on the brake calipers when they are hot.
• Wash detergent off immediately after use.
● Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors,
causing them to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed, drive
slowly and apply the brakes several times to dry the parts.
■ CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) part (if equipped)
●Remove any dirt using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard brushes or
abrasive cleaners. Do not use st rong or harsh chemical cleaners.
● As the CFRP parts may change color if they are exposed to ultraviolet
rays for extended periods of time, SUBARU recommends that your vehi-
cle be stored in a place where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
● Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
■ When washing the vehicle
Wear rubber gloves and use a hand brush when washing down underbody,
inner fenders and suspension to effectively remove mud and dirt off.
