when driving the vehicle in such
a condition.
.
Activation of the Vehicle Dy-
namics Control system is an
indication that the road being
travelled on has a slippery sur-
face; since having Vehicle Dy-
namics Control is no guarantee
that full vehicle control will be
maintained at all times and under
all conditions, its activation
should be seen as a sign that
the speed of the vehicle should
be reduced considerably.
.
Whenever suspension compo-
nents, steering components, or
an axle are removed from a
vehicle, we recommend that you
have an inspection of that sys-
tem performed by an authorized
SUBARU dealer.
.
The following precautions should
be observed in order to ensure
that the Vehicle Dynamics Con-
trol system is operating properly:
–
All four wheels should be
fitted with tires of the same
size, type, and brand. Further-
more, the amount of wear
should be the same for all
four tires.
–
Keep the tire pressure at the
proper level as shown on the
label attached to the vehicle
’
s
door pillar.
–
Use only the special tempor-
ary spare tire to replace a flat
tire. With a temporary spare
tire, the effectiveness of the
Vehicle Dynamics Control
system is reduced and this
should be taken into account
when driving the vehicle in
such a condition.
.
If non-matching tires are used,
the Vehicle Dynamics Control
system may not operate cor-
rectly.
.
The Vehicle Dynamics Control
system helps prevent unstable
vehicle motion such as skidding
using control of the brakes and
engine power. Do not turn off the
Vehicle Dynamics Control sys-
tem unless it is absolutely ne-
cessary. If you must turn off the
Vehicle Dynamics Control sys-
tem, drive very carefully accord-
ing to the road surface condition.
In the event of wheelspin and/or skidding
on a slippery road surface and/or during
cornering and/or an evasive maneuver,
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system
adjusts the engine
’
s output and the
wheels
’
respective braking forces to help
maintain traction and directional control.
.
Traction Control Function
The traction control function is designed to
prevent spinning of the driving wheels on
slippery road surfaces, thereby helping to
maintain traction and directional control.
Activation of this function is shown by
steady illumination of the Vehicle Dy-
namics Control operation indicator light.
.
Skid Suppression Function
The skid suppression function is designed
to help maintain directional stability by
suppressing the wheels
’
tendency to slide
sideways during steering operations. Acti-
vation of this function is shown by flashing
of the Vehicle Dynamics Control operation
indicator light.
NOTE
.
The Vehicle Dynamics Control sys-
tem may be considered normal when
the following conditions occur.
–
Slight twitching of the brake
pedal is felt.
–
The vehicle or steering wheel
shakes to a small degree.
–
An operating sound from the
engine compartment is heard
