comes malfunctioning.

The Vehicle Dynamics Control system

provides its AB S contr ol through the

electrical circuit of the ABS system.

Accordingly, if the ABS is inoperative, the

Vehicle Dynamics Control system be-

comes unable to provide ABS control. As

a result, the Vehicle Dynamics Control

system also becomes inoperative, caus-

ing the warning light to illuminate. Though

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 have your

vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer as

soon as possible.

NOTE

If the warning light behavior is as

shown in the following, the Vehicle

Dynamics Control system may be con-

sidered normal.

. The warning light illuminates right

after the engine is started but turns off

immediately, remaining off.

. The warning light illuminates after

engine startup and turns off while the

vehicle is subsequently being driven.

. The warning light illuminates during

driving, but it turns off immediately and

remains off.

! Traction Control system OFF indi-

cator light

. It illuminates when the Traction Control

system OFF switch is pressed.

. It also illuminates when the Traction

Control system is deactivated.

NOTE

. The light may remain illuminated for

a while 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 problem

and the CHECK ENGINE warning light/

Malfunction indicator lamp illuminates.

The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is

probably malfunctioning under the follow-

ing condition. 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

started.

& Security indicator light

portion of the dashboard.

This indicator light shows the status of the

alarm system. It also indicates operation

of the immobilizer system.

status of the alarm system. For detailed

information, refer to the “Alarm system”

section in chapter 2.

! Immobilizer system

This light blinks approximately 60 seconds

after the ignition switch is turned from

“ON” position to the “Acc” or “LOCK”

position or immediately after the key is

pulled out. Refer to the “Door locks”
