PROCEDURE TO ADJUST THE CONCENTRATION OF THE COOLANT

To adjust the concentration of coolant according to temperature, find the proper fluid concentration in the above diagram and replace the necessary amount of coolant with an undiluted solution of SUBARU genuine coolant (concentration 50%). The amount of engine coolant that should be replaced can be determined using the diagram.

[Example]

Assume that the engine coolant concentration must be increased from 25% to 40%. Find point A, where the 25% line of engine coolant concentration intersects with the 40% curve of the necessary engine coolant concentration, and read the scale on the vertical axis of the graph at height A. The quantity of coolant to be drained is 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt). Drain 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt) of coolant from the cooling system and add 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 Imp qt) of the undiluted solution of SUBARU coolant.

If a coolant concentration of 50% is needed, drain all the coolant and refill with the undiluted solution only.

1. Push the release lever to retract the push rod of the operating cylinder and check if the fluid level in the clutch reservoir tank rises or not. see scheme 65: Identifying Release Lever, Push Rod And Operating Cylinder
2. If the fluid level rises, pedal free play is correct.
3. If the fluid level does not rise, or the push rod cannot be retracted, adjust the clutch pedal. CLUTCH PEDAL. >
4. Check the fluid level using the scale on the outside of the clutch reservoir tank (A). If the level is below "MIN" (B), inspect the clutch master cylinder, operating cylinder and hydraulic line for fluid leaks. If fluid leaks are found, repair or replace. If fluid leaks are not found, add clutch fluid to bring it up to "MAX" (C) of clutch reservoir tank. Recommended clutch fluid: FMVSS No. 116, New part DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid CAUTION: Prevent the clutch fluid from being splashed over vehicle body. If the clutch fluid is splashed over vehicle body, flush it, and then wipe it up. Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid to prevent degradation of the fluid. Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the reservoir tank. (Scheme 7): Identifying Clutch Fluid Level

Scheme 10

1. Drain the gear oil by removing drain plug. CAUTION: Before starting work, cool off the transmission gear oil well. If transmission gear oil adheres to the exhaust pipe, wipe it off completely. (Scheme 8): Identifying Drain Plug
2. Replace the gasket with new one, and then tighten the drain plug to specified torque. Tightening torque: 70 N.m (7.1 kgf-m, 51.6 ft-lb)
3. Fill the transmission gear oil through the oil level gauge hole up to the upper point of level gauge.

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

1. Move the hill-holder up an inclination of more than 3° to confirm the stopping and starting functions.

Scheme 12

1. When the vehicle does not stop: Tighten the PHV cable adjustment nuts.
2. When the vehicle does not start: A: When the hill-holder is released later than engagement of clutch (engine tends to stall): Loosen the adjusting nut gradually until smooth starting is enabled. B: When the hill-holder is released earlier than engagement to clutch (vehicle slips down slightly): Tighten the adjusting nut so that hill-holder is released later than engagement of clutch (status in A). Then make adjustment the same as in A. CAUTION: When turning the adjusting nuts, use a pliers to hold the inner cable to prevent over-turning. Replace the pressure hold valve (PHV) or PHV cable with new ones if there is a problem or damage. (Scheme 10): Identifying Pressure Hold Valve And Lock Nut

WHEEL ALIGNMENT OF FRONT SUSPENSION

1. Check the alignment of front suspension to make sure the following items are within tolerance. Toe-in Camber Caster Steering angle WHEEL ALIGNMENT . >
2. When the caster angle does not conform to the reference value obviously, visually inspect the following components and replace deformed parts. Suspension components [Strut assembly, cross-member, transverse link, etc.] Parts connecting suspension and body
3. When the toe-in and camber are out of tolerance value, adjust them so that they conform to tolerance value.
4. If steering is not within the specified value, adjust it to standard value.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT OF REAR SUSPENSION

1. Check the alignment of rear suspension to make sure the following items are within tolerance. Toe-in Camber Thrust angle WHEEL ALIGNMENT . >
2. When the camber is out of the tolerance value, visually inspect the following components and replace deformed parts. Suspension components [Shock absorber, front lateral link, rear lateral link, and trailing link] Parts connecting suspension and body
3. When the toe-in and thrust angle are out of tolerance value, adjust them so that they conform to tolerance value.
