Parking Brake Stroke; Tires And Wheels; Inspection And Rotation - Subaru 1998 Legacy Owner's Manual

Parking brake stroke

Check the parking brake stroke according to the maintenance schedule
in the warranty and maintenance booklet. When the parking brake is
properly adjusted, braking power is fully applied by pulling the lever up
seven to eight notches gently but firmly (about 196 N, 44 lb, 20 kg). If the
parking brake lever stroke is not within the specified range, have the
brake system checked and adjusted at your SUBARU dealer.

J Inspection and rotation
WARNING
D When replacing a tire, make sure you use only the same size,
construction, brand, and load range as the original tires listed on
the tire placard. Using other sizes or construction may result in
severe mechanical damage to the drivetrain of your vehicle and
may affect ride, handling, braking, speedometer/odometer cal-
ibration, and clearance between the body and tires. It also may be
dangerous and lead to loss of vehicle control.
D Do not use a combination of radial, belted bias or bias tires
since it may cause dangerous handling characteristics and lead
to an accident.
