Brake Test
2022 Subaru Impreza Base, 4D Sedan, Automatic CVT TransSECTION Brake Test
- Full-time AWD MT model
- Perform this test after driving the vehicle for 2 - 3 km (1.24 - 1.86 miles) on road in order to stabilize the viscous torque of viscous coupling.
- Keep the front or rear wheels on the ground for this test.NOTE:
Effect of the viscous torque on braking force will be added approx. 25 kg compared with FWD model.
- When the brake dragging force is large
- Check the dragging of brake pad or brake shoe.
- Since it may be affected by the viscosity of viscous coupling, jack up either of the front or rear two wheels to check the each wheel rotation condition with the viscous coupling affection removed.
- Full-time AWD CVT model
- Keep the front or rear wheels on the ground during measurement.
- When the brake dragging force is large
- Check the dragging of brake pad or brake shoe.
Judgment standards:
Braking force Rear wheel total 10% or more of load on front or rear wheels Difference between right and left wheels 8% or less of load on front or rear wheels Grand total 50% or more of vehicle weight at the time of test - When measurement is difficult to carry out because both of front wheels are locked, brake force measurement in this condition conforms to standard grand total.
- Check the dragging of brake pad or brake shoe.
- Keep the front or rear wheels on the ground during measurement.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
