Control system becomes unable to
provide ABS control. As a result, the
Vehicle Dynamics Control system
becomes inoperative, causing the
warning light to illuminate. Although
both the Vehicle Dynamics Control
and ABS systems are inoperative in
this case, the ordinary functions of
the brake system are still available.
You will be safe while driving with
this condition, but drive carefully
and we recommend that you have
your vehicle checked at a SUBARU
dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE
.
If the electrical circuit of the Vehicle
Dynamics Control system itself mal-
functions, the warning light only illumi-
nates. At this time, the ABS (Anti-lock
Brake System) remains fully opera-
tional.
.
The warning light illuminates when
the electronic control system of the
ABS/Vehicle Dynamics Control system
malfunctions.
The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is
probably inoperative under any of the
following conditions. We recommend that
you have your vehicle checked at a
SUBARU dealer immediately.
.
The warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“
ON
”
position.
.
The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is running.
NOTE
If the warning light behavior is as
described in the following examples,
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system
may be considered normal.
.
The warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the
“
ON
”
position and turns off approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the engine has
started.

after the engine is started but turns off
immediately and remains off.
.
The warning light illuminates after
the engine has started and turns off
while the vehicle is subsequently being
driven.
.
The warning light illuminates during
driving, but turns off immediately and
remains off.
.
The warning light illuminates when
the engine has stalled and continues to
illuminate after the engine has been
restarted. However, it will turn off once

!
Vehicle Dynamics Control opera-
tion indicator light
The indicator light flashes during activa-
tion of the skid suppression function and
during activation of the traction control
function.
NOTE
.
The light may remain illuminated for
a short period of time after the engine
has been started, especially in cold
weather. This does not indicate the
existence of a problem. The light
should turn off as soon as the engine
has warmed up.
.
The indicator light illuminates when
the engine has developed a malfunc-
tion and the malfunction indicator light/
CHECK ENGINE warning light is on.
The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is
probably malfunctioning under the follow-
ing condition. We recommend that you
have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU
dealer as soon as possible.
.
The light does not turn off even after
the lapse of several minutes (the engine
has warmed up) after the engine has
