Subaru Outback - Video tutorial

Model: Subaru Outback BM, BR, MK 4 - Years 2009-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Checking the brake fluid of the Subaru Outback

In this tutorial we see how simple it is to check the brake system oil of our Subaru Outback. First we open the engine hood and fix it to its bracket. Now, let's identify our tank which is located on your right near the passenger compartment bulkhead and is characterized by the yellow cap with disc brakes on it. On the side of the tray we will notice that there are references that indicate the minimum and maximum oil level. If it is necessary to add oil, all you have to do is unscrew the cap and add a quantity of oil that never exceeds the maximum level. As for the type of oil to add, check the use and maintenance manual and you will find it with the relative DOTs indicated. Be careful not to spill the brake oil on the bodywork of your car, as it is very corrosive!

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
