NOTE
.
When the ignition switch is turned to
the
“
LOCK
”
/
“
OFF
”
position with the
electronic parking brake applied, the
brake system warning light remains
illuminated for approximately 30 sec-
onds and then turns off.
.
When the electronic parking brake
switch is pressed to apply the electro-
nic parking brake while the ignition
switch is in the
“
LOCK
”
/
“
OFF
”
posi-
tion, the brake system warning light
illuminates, remains illuminated for
approximately 30 seconds and then
turns off.
.
Even if the brake system warning
light flashes, if the warning light beha-
vior is as described in the following
examples, the electronic parking brake
system is not malfunctioning.
–
The warning light turns off when
the electronic parking brake is re-
leased.
–
The warning light turns off when
the ignition switch is turned to the
“
ON
”
position again.
.
The brake system warning light may
flash immediately after the engine is
started. However, it is not malfunction-
ing if the warning light turns off after
the electronic parking brake is re-
leased.
.
The brake system warning light may
flash after the electronic parking brake
is frequently applied and released.
However, the electronic parking brake
system is not malfunctioning if the light
turns off for a short period of time.
This light has the following functions:
!
Parking brake warning
The light illuminates with the parking
brake applied while the ignition switch is
in the
“
ON
”
position. It turns off when the
parking brake is released.
!
Brake fluid level warning
The light illuminates when the brake fluid
level has dropped to near the
“
MIN
”
level
of the brake fluid reservoir with the ignition
switch in the
“
ON
”
position and with the
parking brake released.
If the brake system warning light should
illuminate while driving (with the parking
brake released and with the ignition switch
positioned in
“
ON
”
), it could be an indica-
tion 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. For details,
refer to
“
11-37. If the fluid
level is below the
“
MIN
”
mark in the
reservoir, do not drive the vehicle. We
recommend that you have the vehicle
towed to the nearest SUBARU dealer for
repair. For details, refer to
“
!
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning
The brake system warning light also
illuminates if a malfunction occurs in the
EBD system. In that event, it illuminates
together with the ABS warning light.
The EBD system may be malfunctioning if
the brake system warning light and ABS
warning light illuminate simultaneously
during driving.
Even if the EBD system fails, the conven-
tional braking system will still function.
However, the rear wheels will be more
prone to locking when the brakes are
applied harder than usual and the vehi-
cle
’
s motion may therefore become some-
what harder to control.
If the brake system warning light and ABS
warning light illuminate simultaneously,
take the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe,
flat place.
