NOTE
If the warning light behavior is asdescribed in the following, the ABSsystem may be considered normal.
.The warning light illuminates rightafter the engine is started but turns offimmediately, remaining off..The warning light remains illumi-nated after the engine has been started,but it turns off when the vehicle speedreaches approximately 8 mph (12km/h)..The warning light illuminates duringdriving, but it turns off immediately andremains off.
When driving with an insufficient batteryvoltage such as when the engine is jumpstarted, the ABS warning light may illumi-nate. This is due to the low battery voltageand does not indicate a malfunction.When the battery becomes fully charged,the light will turn off.
&Brake system
warning light
WARNING
.Driving with the brake systemwarning light illuminated is dan-gerous. This indicates your brakesystem may not be workingproperly. If the light remainsilluminated, have the brakes in-spected by a SUBARU dealerimmediately.
.If at all in doubt about whetherthe brakes are operating prop-erly, do not drive the vehicle.Have your vehicle towed to thenearest SUBARU dealer for re-pair.
This light has the following three functions.
!Parking brake warning
The light illuminates with the parkingbrakeapplied while the ignition switch isin the“ON”position. It turns off when theparking brake is fully released.
!Brake fluid level warning
This light illuminateswhen the brake fluidlevel has dropped to near the“MIN”levelof the brake fluid reservoir with the ignitionswitch in the“ON”position and with the
parking brake fully released.
If the brake system warning light shouldilluminate while driving (with the parkingbrake fully released and with the ignitionswitch positioned in“ON”), it could be anindication of leaking of brake fluid or wornbrake pads. If this occurs, immediatelystop the vehicle at the nearest safe placeand check the brake fluid level. If the fluidlevel is below the“MIN”mark in thereservoir, do not drive the vehicle. Havethe vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARUdealer for repair.
!Electronic Brake Force Distribution(EBD) system warning
The brake system warning light alsoilluminates if a malfunction occurs in theEBD system. In that event, it illuminatestogether with the ABS warning light.
The EBD system may be malfunctioning ifthe brakesystem warning light and ABSwarning light illuminate simultaneouslyduring driving.
Even if the EBD system fails, the conven-tional braking system will still function.However, the rear wheels will be moreprone to locking when the brakes areapplied harder than usual and the vehi-cle’s motion may therefore become some-what harder to control.
