2023 SUBARU BRZ power steering fluid

Warning and Indicator Lights
141
Instruments and Controls3
– CONTINUED –
If the brake system warning light should
illuminate while driving (with the parking
brake fully released and with the ignition
switch positioned in “ON”), it could be an
indication of leaking of brake fluid or worn
brake pads. If this occurs, immediately
stop the vehicle at the nearest safe place
and check the brake fluid level. If the fluid
level is below the “MIN” mark in the reser-
voir, do not drive the vehicle. Have the
vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU
dealer for repair.▼ Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning
If the warning light remains on even
though the parking brake is released, the
brake fluid level may be low or there could
be a problem with the EBD system. Park
the vehicle in a safe place immediately
and contact a SUBARU dealer.
▼ Vacuum pressure system warning
The brake system warning light will illumi-
nate when the vacuum pressure sensor is
malfunctioning or brake booster pressure
is decreasing. If the light continues to illu-
minate for several minutes after starting
the engine, there may be a malfunction in
the vacuum system. In this case, drive the
vehicle carefully and have the system
inspected by a SUBARU dealer.
■ Low Fuel Warning LightThe low fuel warning light illuminates
when the tank is nearly empty approxi-
mately 1.8 US gal (7.0 liters, or 1.5 Imp
gal). It only operates when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.■ Door Open IndicatorWhen any of the doors or the trunk lid is
not fully closed, the door open indicator
appears. This function is effective even if
the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or “ACC”
position.
The open door is indicated by the corre-
sponding part of the door open indicator.
Always make sure this indicator does not
appear before you start to drive.■ Power Steering
Warning LightWhile the engine is running, a warning
light illuminates and a buzzer sounds if a malfunction is detected in the electric

power steering system.
NOTEIf the steering wheel is operated in the
following ways, the power steering
control system may temporarily limit
the power assist in order to prevent
the system components, such as the
control computer and drive motor,
from overheating.
 The steering wheel is operated
frequently and turned sharply while the
vehicle is maneuvered at extremely low
speeds, such as while frequently
turning the steering wheel during
parallel parking.
 The steering wheel remains in the
fully turned position for a long period
of time.
At this time, there will be more resis-
tance when steering. However this is
not a malfunction. Normal steering
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light illu-
minates. Engine misfires as a result
of an empty tank could cause dam-
age to the engine.
CAUTION
When the power steering warning
light is illuminated, there may be
more resistance when the steering
wheel is operated. Drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and
have the vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.

4) Brake fluid pressure
5) Steering amount
This screen displays lateral G-forces on

the vehicle
Also displays, around the periphery of the
G-force display, the left and right steering
amount, accelerator pedal input, and
brake fluid pressure
This display is intended for use as a guide-
line. Depending on factors such as the
road surface condition, temperature and
vehicle speed, the display may not show
the actual condition of the vehicle.
Press and hold to reset the record of
maximum G-forces.▼ Power and torque curve1) Power output

from overheating.
 The steering wheel is operated

 The steering wheel remains in the
fully turned position for a long period

At this time, there will be more resis-
tance when steering. However this is
not a malfunction. Normal steering
force will be restored after the steering
wheel is not operated for a while and the power steering control system has

an opportunity to cool down. However,
if the power steering is operated in a
non-standard way which causes
power assist limitation to occur too
frequently, this may result in a mal-
function of the power steering control
system.
7-10. Braking■ Braking Tips▼ When the brakes get wet
When driving in rain or after washing the
vehicle, the brakes may get wet. As a
result, brake stopping distance will be
longer. To dry the brakes, drive the
vehicle at a safe speed while lightly
depressing the brake pedal to heat up the
brakes.
▼ Use of engine brakingRemember to make use of engine braking
in addition to foot braking. When
descending a grade, if only the foot brake
is used, the brakes may start working
improperly because of brake fluid over-
heating, caused by overheated brake
pads. To help prevent this, shift into a
lower gear to get stronger engine braking.
CAUTION
While the power steering warning
light is illuminated, there may be
more resistance when the steering
wheel is operated. Drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and
have the vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.
WARNING
Never rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. This can cause
dangerous overheating of the
brakes and needless wear on the
brake pads.
