Recommended Fluid; Brake Fluid; Checking The Fluid Level - Subaru Impreza 2016 Manual

2. Check the fluid level of the reservoir
tank.
When the fluid is hot after the vehicle has
been run: Check that the oil level is
between HOT MIN and HOT MAX on
the surface of the reservoir tank.
When the fluid is cool before the vehicle is
run: Check that the oil level is between
COLD MIN and COLD MAX on the
surface of the reservoir tank.
3. If the fluid level is lower than the
applicable MIN line, add the recom-
mended fluid as necessary to bring the
level between the MIN and MAX line.
If the fluid level is extremely low, it may
indicate possible leakage. We recom-
mend that you consult your SUBARU
dealer for an inspection.
WARNING
Be careful not to burn yourself
because the fluid may be hot.
CAUTION
. When power steering fluid is
being added, use only clean fluid,
and be careful not to allow any
dirt into the tank. And never use
different brands together.
. Be careful not to spill power
steering fluid when adding it. If
power steering fluid touches the
exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If
power steering fluid gets on the
exhaust pipe, be sure to wipe it
off.
& Recommended fluid

& Checking the fluid level
1) MAX level line
2) The fluid level must be checked in this
area.

Check the fluid level monthly.
Check the fluid level on the outside of the

for the brake system at the front part of
the reservoir (shaded area in the illustra-
tion). For MT models, this reservoir is
used for both the brake pedal and clutch
systems and has chambers for each
system. If the level is below MIN , add
the recommended brake fluid to MAX .
Use only brake fluid from a sealed
container.
