vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible.
.

Brake system warning
light
WARNING
.
Driving with the brake system
warning light on is dangerous.
This indicates your brake system
may not be working properly. If
the light remains on, we recom-
mend that you have the brakes
inspected by a SUBARU dealer
immediately.
.
If at all in doubt about whether
the brakes are operating prop-
erly, do not drive the vehicle. We
recommend that you have your
vehicle towed to the nearest
SUBARU dealer for repair.
This light has the following three functions:
!
Parking brake warning
The light comes on with the parking brake
applied while the ignition switch is in the
“
ON
”
position. It goes out when the
parking brake is fully released.
!
Brake fluid level warning
This light comes on 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
come on 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. We
recommend that you have the vehicle
towed to the nearest SUBARU dealer for
repair.
!
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 comes on
together with the ABS warning light.
The EBD system may be faulty 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.
2. Shut down the engine, then restart it.
3. Release the parking brake. If both
warning lights go out, the EBD system
may be faulty.
We recommend that you drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the
system inspected.
4. If both warning lights come on again
and stay illuminated after the engine has
been restarted, shut down the engine
again, apply the parking brake, and check
the brake fluid level.
5. If the brake fluid level is not below the
“
MIN
”
mark, the EBD system may be
faulty. We recommend that you drive
