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 lmp qt). Drain 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 lmp qt) of coolant from the cooling system and add 2.1 l (2.2 US qt, 1.8 lmp 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. 5MT model (Non-turbo model) 5MT model (Turbo model) 6MT model
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. < Ref. to «CLUTCH PEDAL»(ref-306921-S22802215022008122600000) . >
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: Refer to "RM" section. < Ref. to «FLUID»(ref-306916-S00450311242008122600000) , RECOMMENDED MATERIALS, Recommended Materials . > 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. NOTE: 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.

1. Drain the gear oil by removing drain plug. CAUTION: If the transmission gear oil is spilt over exhaust pipe, wipe it off with cloth to avoid emitting smoke or causing a fire. NOTE: Before starting work, cool off the transmission gear oil well. Drain the gear oil by removing drain plug using TORX® BIT T70. 5MT 6MT
2. Replace the gasket with new part, and then tighten the drain plug to specified torque. Tightening torque: 5MT (Aluminum gasket) 44 N.m (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5 ft-lb) 5MT (Copper gasket) 70 N.m (7.1 kgf-m, 51.6 ft-lb) 6MT (OIL pan side): 44 N.m (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5 ft-lb) 6MT (Clutch housing side): 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. Recommended gear oil: Refer to "RM" section. < Ref. to «LUBRICANTS»(ref-306916-S13819006042008122600000) , RECOMMENDED MATERIALS, Recommended Materials . > NOTE: Each oil manufacturer has its base oil and additives. Thus, do not mix two or more brands. Gear oil capacity: 5MT model: 3.5 l (3.7 US qt, 3.1 lmp qt) 6MT model: 4.1 l (4.3 US qt, 3.6 lmp qt) 5MT (Non-turbo model) 5MT (Turbo model) 6MT

ADJUSTMENT

For rear disc brake, adjust the parking brake after bleeding air.

1. Remove the rear cover (rubber) installed at back plate.
2. Turn the adjuster toward arrow mark (upward) until it is locked slightly, by using flat-tip screwdriver as shown in the figure.
3. Turn back (downward) the adjuster 3 to 4 notches.
4. Install the cover (rubber) in original position correctly.

1. Jack-up the vehicle until front wheels are off ground.
2. Grasp the bottom of tire and move it in and out along the shaft. If relative movement (B) is observed between the brake disc cover (A) and the end of front arm (D), ball joint (C) may be excessively worn.
3. Grasp the end of front arm and move it up and down. Relative movement (A) between the housing (D) and front arm (C) boss indicates ball joint (B) may be excessively worn.
4. If relative movement is observed in the step 2 ), 3 ), remove and inspect the ball joint. If the free play exceeds standard value, replace the ball joint. < Ref. to «FRONT BALL JOINT»(ref-287691-S10337855452008061600000) . >
5. Damage of dust seal Visually inspect the ball joint dust seal. If it is damaged, remove the front arm. < Ref. to «FRONT ARM»(ref-287691-S19184685092008061600000) . > Also, measure the free play of the ball joint. < Ref. to «FRONT BALL JOINT»(ref-287691-S10337855452008061600000) . > If the free play exceeds standard value, replace the ball joint. If the dust seal is damaged, replace with a new ball joint. NOTE: When the front arm ball joint has been removed or replaced, check the toe-in of front wheel. If the front wheel toe-in is not at specified value, adjust the toe-in. < Ref. to «WHEEL ALIGNMENT»(ref-287691-S21648381852008061600000) . >

2. When the caster angle does not conform to reference obviously, visually inspect the following components and replace deformed parts. Suspension components [Strut assembly, cross-member, front arm, etc.] Parts connecting suspension and body
3. When the toe-in and camber are out of standard value, adjust them so that they conform to standard value.
4. When the right-and-left turning angles of tire are out of standard, adjust to standard value.
