3-16 Instruments and controls

When the warning light illuminates,

the ABS function shuts down; how-

ever, the conventional brake system

continues to operate normally.

. The warning light does not illu-

minate when the ignition switch

is turned to the “ON” position.

. The warning light illuminates

when the ignition switch is

turned to the “ON” position, but

it does not turn off even when the

vehicle speed exceeds approxi-

mately 8 mph (12 km/h).

. The warning light illuminates dur-

ing driving.

If any of these conditions occur,

have the ABS system repaired at

the first available opportunity by

your SUBARU dealer.

The ABS warning light illuminates to-

gether with the brake system warning light

if the EBD system becomes malfunction-

ing. For further details of the EBD system

malfunction warning, refer to “Brake sys-

tem warning light”.

NOTE

If the warning light behavior is as

described in the following, the ABS

system may be considered normal.

. The warning light illuminates right

after the engine is started but turns off

immediately, remaining off.

. The warning light remains illumi-

nated after the engine has been started,

but it turns off when the vehicle speed

reaches approximately 8 mph (12

km/h).

. The warning light illuminates during

driving, but it turns off immediately and

remains off.

When driving with an insufficient battery

voltage such as when the engine is jump

started, the ABS warning light may illumi-

nate. This is due to the low battery voltage

and does not indicate a malfunction.

When the battery becomes fully charged,

the light will turn off.

& Brake system

warning light

WARNING

. Driving with the brake system

warning light illuminated is dan-

gerous. This indicates your brake

system may not be working

properly. If the light remains

illuminated, have the brakes in-

spected by a SUBARU dealer

immediately.

. If at all in doubt about whether

the brakes are operating prop-

erly, do not drive the vehicle.

Have your vehicle towed to the

nearest SUBARU dealer for re-

pair.

This light has the following three functions:

! Parking brake warning

The light illuminates with the parking

brake applied while the ignition switch is

in the “ON” position. It turns off when the

parking brake is fully released.

! Brake fluid level warning

This light illuminates 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

illuminate 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. Have

the vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU
