light/Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF
indicator light
This single light has the function of

of indicating that the Vehicle Dynamics

Vehicle Dynamics Control warning
light
The warning light illuminates when the
ignition switch is turned to the
“
ON
”
position and turns off several seconds
after engine startup. This lighting pattern
indicates that the Vehicle Dynamics Con-
trol system is operating normally.
The following situations could indicate a
malfunction of the Vehicle Dynamics
Control system; if any should occur, we
recommend that you have an authorized
SUBARU dealer carry out an inspection of
the system at the first available opportu-
nity.
.
The warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“
ON
”
position.
.
The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven.
.
When a malfunction has occurred in
the Vehicle Dynamics Control electrical
system, only the warning light will illumi-
nate. In such an event, the ABS will still be
operating normally.
.
The warning light will also illuminate
when a problem occurs with the ABS or
Vehicle Dynamics Control electronic con-
trol systems.
Because the Vehicle Dynamics Control
system controls each brake through the
ABS, whenever the ABS stops operating
due to a malfunction in that electrical
system, the Vehicle Dynamics Control will
also become unable to control all four
brakes. Thus Vehicle Dynamics Control
system operation halts and the warning
light illuminates. Although both the Vehicle
Dynamics Control system and the ABS
will be inoperable in this situation, it will
still be possible to stop the vehicle using
normal braking. The Vehicle Dynamics
Control system and the ABS do not
adversely affect operation of the vehicle
in any way when they are inoperable;
however should such a situation occur,
drive with care and we recommend that
you have an authorized SUBARU dealer
carry out an inspection of those systems
at the first available opportunity.
NOTE
When the warning light illuminates and
turns off in the following way, it in-
dicates that the Vehicle Dynamics
Control system is operating normally.
.
Although illuminating after the en-
gine has been started, the warning light
quickly turns off and stays off.
.
The warning light illuminates when
the vehicle is being driven; it then turns
off and stays off.
