! Braking when a tire is punctured

Do not depress the brake pedal suddenly

when a tire is punctured. This could cause

a loss of control of the vehicle. Keep

driving s traight ahead while gradually

reducing speed. Then slowly pull off the

road to a safe place.

& Brake system

! Two separate circuits

Your vehicle has two separate circuit

brake systems. Each circuit works diag-

onally across the vehicle. If one circuit of

the brake system should fail, the other half

of the system still works. If one circuit fails,

the brake pedal will go down much closer

to the floor than usual and you will need to

press it down much harder. And a much

longer distance will be needed to stop the

vehicle.

! Brake booster

The brake booster uses engine manifold

vacuum to assist braking force. Do not

turn off the engine while driving because

that will turn off the brake booster, result-

ing in poor braking power.

The brakes will continue to work even

when the brake booster completely stops

functioning. If this happens, however, you

will have to push the pedal much harder

than normal and the braking distance will

increase.

& Disc brake pad wear warning

indicators

The disc brake pad wear warning indica-

tors on the disc brakes give a warning

noise when the brake pads are worn.

If a squeaking or scraping noise is heard

from the disc brakes while braking, im-

mediately have your vehicle checked by

your SUBARU dealer.

ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-

tem)

The ABS system prevents the lock-up of

wheels which may occur during sudden

braking or braking on slippery road sur-

faces. This helps prevent the loss of

steering control and directional stability

caused by wheel lock-up.

When the ABS system is operating, you

may hear a chattering noise or feel a slight

vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal

when the ABS operates.

The ABS system will not operate when the

vehicle speed is below approximately 6

mph (10 km/h).

WARNING

Always use the utmost care in

driving – overconfidence because

you are driving with an ABS

equipped vehicle could easily lead

to a serious accident.

CAUTION

. The ABS system does not always

decrease stopping distance. You

should always maintain a safe

following distance from other
