2-1. Driving procedures
WARNING
■
When driving on slippery road surfaces
●
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
●
Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
●
After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in
an accident.
■
When shifting the select lever or shift lever
●
On vehicles with an automatic transmission, be careful not to shift the
select lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. Shifting the select lever
to a gear other than P or N may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of
the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious
injury.
●
Do not place items in the select lever's or shift lever's surrounding area. It
may cause incorrect operation.
●
If the select lever's or shift lever's boot is pulled out during cleaning, return
it to its previous position. If the select lever's or shift lever's boot is left
pulled out, the select lever or shift lever may become difficult to operate.
■
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by any authorized SUBARU
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as
soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads
and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded. (→P. 155)
■
Breaking-in of new brake pads and linings
A safe location and situation should be selected for break-in driving.
