When the parking brake is properly ad-
justed, braking power is fully applied by
pulling the lever up 7 to 8 notches gently
but firmly (approximately 45 lbf [200 N,
20.4 kgf]). If the parking brake lever stroke
is not within the specified range, have the
brake system checked and adjusted at
your SUBARU dealer.

Tires and wheels

& Types of tires
You should be familiar with type of tires
present on your vehicle.
! All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide an
adequate measure of traction, handling
and braking performance in year-round
driving including snowy and icy road
conditions. However, all season tires do
not offer as much traction performance as
winter (snow) tires in heavy or loose snow
or on icy roads.
All season tires are identified by "ALL
SEASON" and/or "M+S" (Mud & Snow) on
the tire sidewall.
! Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed capability
tires best suited for highway driving under
dry conditions.
Summer tires are inadequate for driving on
slippery roads such as on snow-covered or
icy roads.
If you drive your vehicle on snow-covered
or icy roads, we strongly recommend the
use of winter (snow) tires.
When installing winter tires, be sure to
replace all four tires.
