ATF
16.ATF
A: INSPECTION
CAUTION:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature.
Pay attention to the fluid temperature when
checking ATF level.
1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor.
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Make sure the vehicle is level.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1),
set the select lever in “P” range. Measure the ATF
level with the engine idling for one or two minutes.
4) Make sure that ATF level is above the center of
upper and lower level.
NOTE:
When the transmission is hot, the level should be
above the center of upper and lower marks, and
when it is cold, the level should be found below the
center of these two marks.
5) If the ATF level is below the center between up-
per and lower marks, add the recommended ATF
until the ATF level is found above the center be-
tween upper and lower marks.
CAUTION:
Use care not to exceed the upper limit level.
Remember that the addition of ATF to the up-
per limit mark when the transmission is cold
will result in overfilling of ATF, causing a trans-
mission failure.
6) Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature
to 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F) by running the vehicle
or by idling the engine again.7) Check the ATF for leaks.
Check for leaks in the transmission. If there are
leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace gasket, oil
seals, plugs or other parts.
B: REPLACEMENT
1. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
1) Drain the ATF by removing drain plug.
NOTE:
Before starting work, cool off ATF well.
2) Replace the gasket with a new one, and then
tighten the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
3) Fill ATF up to the middle of the “COLD” side on
level gauge by using the gauge hole.

Brake Fluid
19.Brake Fluid
A: REPLACEMENT
1) Lift-up the vehicle.
2) Remove both front and rear wheels.
3) Draw out the brake fluid from master cylinder
with syringe.
4) Refill the reservoir tank with recommended
brake fluid.
Recommended brake fluid:
FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or DOT4 brake
fluid
CAUTION:
Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid
to prevent degrading the quality of the fluid.
Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into
the reservoir tank.
Bleeding sequence (1) → (2) → (3) → (4)
5) Install one end of a vinyl tube onto the air bleeder
and insert the other end of the tube into a container
to collect the brake fluid.
CAUTION:
Cover the bleeder with waste cloth, when
loosening it, to prevent brake fluid from being
splashed over surrounding parts. During the bleeding operation, keep the
brake reservoir tank filled with brake fluid to
eliminate entry of air.
The brake pedal operating must be very slow.
For convenience and safety, two people
should do the work.
NOTE:
The amount of brake fluid required is approx. 500
m2 (16.9 US fl oz, 17.6 Imp fl oz) for total brake
system.
6) Instruct your co-worker to depress the brake
pedal slowly two or three times and then hold it de-
pressed.
7) Loosen the bleeder screw approx. 1/4 turn until a
small amount of brake fluid drains into container,
and then quickly tighten the screw.
8) Repeat steps 6) and 7) above until there are no
air bubbles in the drained brake fluid and new fluid
flows through vinyl tube.
NOTE:
Add brake fluid as necessary while performing the
air bleed operation, in order to prevent the tank
from running short of brake fluid.
9) After completing the bleeding operation, hold
brake pedal depressed and tighten the bleeder
screw and install bleeder cap.
Tightening torque:
8 N·m (0.8 kgf-m, 5.8 ft-lb)
10) Bleed air from each wheel cylinder by following
the previous 5 steps.
11) Depress the brake pedal with a force of approx.
294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) and hold it there for approx. 20
seconds. At this time check the pedal to see if it
makes any unusual movement. Visually inspect the
bleeder screws and brake pipe joints to make sure
that there is no fluid leakage.
12) Install the wheels, and drive the vehicle for a
short distance between 2 to 3 km (1 to 2 miles) to
make sure that brakes are operating properly.

6. OIL LEAKAGE OF STRUT
Visually inspect the front strut and rear strut for oil
leakage as instructed. If oil leakage reaches under
spring seat lower portion, replace the front strut and
rear strut.
7. TIGHTNESS OF BOLTS AND NUTS
Check the bolts and nuts shown in the figure for
looseness. Retighten the bolts and nuts to speci-
fied torque. If the self-lock nuts and bolts are re-
moved, replace them with new ones.

Rear suspension:
8. DAMAGE TO SUSPENSION PARTS
Check the following parts and the fastening portion
of the vehicle body for deformation or excessive
rusting which impairs the suspension. Remove the
contaminations on spring seat lower portion with
care because dirt, sand, etc. tend to accumulate on
it. If necessary, replace the damaged parts with
new ones. If minor rust formation, pitting, etc. are
noted, remove the rust and apply remedial anti-cor-
rosion measures.

In the district where salt is sprayed to melt snow
on a road in winter, check suspension parts for
damage caused by rust every 12 months after
lapse of 60 months. Take rust prevention measure
as required.

Steering System (Power Steering)
26.Steering System (Power
Steering)
A: INSPECTION
1. STEERING WHEEL
1) Set the steering wheel in a straight-ahead posi-
tion, and check the wheel spokes to make sure
they are correctly set in their specified positions.
2) Lightly turn the steering wheel to the right and
left to determine the point where front wheels start
to move.
Measure the distance of the movement of steering
wheel at the outer periphery of wheel.
Steering wheel free play:
0 — 17 mm (0 — 0.67 in)
Move the steering wheel vertically toward the shaft
to ascertain if there is play in the direction.
Maximum permissible play:
0.5 mm (0.020 in)
3) Drive the vehicle and check the following items.
(1) Steering force:
The effort required for steering should be
smooth and even at all points, and should not
vary.
(2) Pull to one side:
Steering wheel should not be pulled to either
side while driving on a level surface.
(3) Wheel runout:
Steering wheel should not be runout.
(4) Return factor:
Steering wheel should return to its original posi-
tion after it has been turned and then released.
2. STEERING SHAFT JOINT
When the steering wheel free play is excessive,
disconnect the universal joint of steering shaft and
check it for any play and yawing torque (at the point
of the crossing direction). Also inspect for any dam-
age to sealing or worn serrations. If the joint is
loose, retighten the mounting bolts to the specified
torque.
Tightening torque:
24 N·m (2.4 kgf-m, 17.4 ft-lb)
3. GEARBOX
1) With wheels placed in the direction of straight
ahead, turn the steering wheel 90° in both the right
and left directions.
While the steering wheel is being rotated, check for
looseness in gearbox.
Tightening torque:
59 N·m (6.0 kgf-m, 43.4 ft-lb)
2) Check the boot for damage, cracks or deteriora-
tion.
3) With the vehicle on a level surface, quickly turn
the steering wheel to the right and left.
While the steering wheel is being rotated, check the
gear backlash. If any unusual noise is noticed, ad-
just the gear backlash in the following manner.
(1) Tighten the adjusting screw to 7.4 N·m (0.75
kgf-m, 5.4 ft-lb) and then loosen. Repeat this op-
eration twice.
