Stop Light Switch: Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

While pulling up the brake pedal (c) toward you, insert the switch - stop light (a) until it reaches the stopper (b).
Install the switch - stop light by turning it clockwise.
CAUTION: Turn the stop light switch clockwise when installing so that it can return backward by approximately 1 mm (0.04 in) and clearance is automatically adjusted.
Insert until it contacts the stopper, and make sure that clearance (A) of the end of stop light switch and the stopper is 1 mm - 2 mm (0.04 in - 0.08 in).
