WARNING
.
Driving with the brake system
warning light illuminated is dan-
gerous. This indicates your brake
system may not be working
properly. If the light remains
illuminated, have the brakes in-
spected by a SUBARU dealer
immediately.
.
If at all in doubt about whether
the brakes are operating prop-
erly, do not drive the vehicle.
Have your vehicle towed to the
nearest SUBARU dealer for re-
pair.
This light has the following three 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 fully released.
!
Brake fluid level warning
This 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 fully released.
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
reservoir, do not drive the vehicle. Have
