STEP 3 Drive the vehicle for approximately 220 yards (200 meters) in this
condition.
STEP 4 Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the parking brake to cool down. Repeat this

High friction brake pads (if equipped)
The brake pads and discs are designed for use under high load conditions.
Therefore, brake noise may be generated depending on the vehicle speed,
braking force and vehicle environment (temperature, humidity, etc.).

Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your
SUBARU dealer perform the bedding down. ( P. 160)
