Subaru Outback (BR): Replacement of brake pad and lining
CAUTION
If you continue to drive despite the scraping noise from the audible brake pad
wear indicator, it will result in the need for costly brake rotor repair or replacement.

The right front disc brake and the right rear disc brake have audible wear indicators
on the brake pads. If the brake pads wear close to their service limit, the wear
indicator makes a very audible scraping noise when the brake pedal is applied.
If you hear this scraping noise each time you apply the brake pedal, have the
brake pads serviced by your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
READ NEXT:
When replacing the brake pad or lining, use only genuine SUBARU parts. After
replacement, the new parts must be broken in as follows:
While maintaining a speed of 30 to 40 mph (50 to 65 km/h), step on the brake
pedal lightly. Repeat this five or more times.
The break-in maintenance for the parking brake linings should be performed at
a SUBARU dealer.
