Disc Brake Pad Wear Warning Indicators - Subaru FORESTER Manual

! Brake assist system
WARNING
Do not be overconfident about the
brake assist. It is not a system that
brings more braking ability to the
vehicle beyond its braking capabil-
ity. Always use the utmost care
when driving regarding vehicle
speed and safe distance.
CAUTION
When you need to brake suddenly,
continue depressing the brake pedal
strongly to bring the effect of the
brake assist.
Brake assist is a driver assistance system.
It assists the brake power when the driver
cannot depress the brake pedal strongly
and the brake power is insufficient.
Brake assist generates the brake power
according to the speed at which the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
NOTE
When you depress the brake pedal
strongly or suddenly, the following
phenomena occur. However, even
though these occur, they do not indi-
cate any malfunctions, and the brake
assist system is operating properly.
. You might feel that the brake pedal
is applied by lighter force and gener-
ates a greater braking force.
. You might hear clicking (knocking)
sounds around brake pedal.
& Disc brake pad wear warning
indicators
The disc brake pad wear warning indica-
tors on the front right and rear right disc
brakes give a warning noise when the
brake pads are worn.
If a squeaking or scraping noise is heard
from the disc brakes while braking, we
recommend that you immediately have
your vehicle checked by your SUBARU
Starting and operating
