Checking Fluid level
Never let brake fluid contact your eyes be-
cause brake fluid can be harmful to your eyes.
If brake fluid gets in your eyes, immediately
flush them thoroughly with clean water. For
safety, when performing this work, wearing eye
protection is advisable.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air.
Any absorbed moisture can cause a dangerous
loss of braking performance.
If the vehicle requires frequent refilling, there
may be a leak. If you suspect a problem, have
the vehicle checked at your SUBARU dealer.
Never use different brands of brake fluid to-
gether. Also, avoid mixing DOT 3 and DOT 4
brake fluids even if they are of the same brand.
When adding brake fluid, be careful not to al-
low any dirt into the reservoir.
