7-26 Starting and operating

! Vehicle Dynamics Control warning

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 key 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 A BS 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 have an authorized

SUBARU dealer carry out an inspection of

those systems at the first available oppor-

tunity.

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 remains off.

. The warning light illuminates when

the vehicle is being driven; it then turns

off and remains off.

! Traction Control system OFF indica-

tor light

This light illuminates to indicate that the

Traction Control system is in non-opera-

tion mode. This does not constitute failure

of the Vehicle Dynamics Control system.

NOTE

. The indicator light may remain illu-

minated for a while after the engine has

been started, especially in cold weath-

er. This occurs because the engine has

not yet warmed up and is completely

normal. The light will turn off when the

engine has reached a suitable operat-

ing temperature.

. When an engine problem occurs

and the malfunction indicator lamp

illuminates, the indicator light will also

illuminate.

The following two situations could indicate

malfunction of the Vehicle Dynamics

Control system; if either should occur,

have an authorized SUBARU dealer carry

out an inspection of that system at the first

available opportunity.

. The indicator light does not illuminate

when the ignition key is turned to the ON

position.

. The indicator light fails to turn off after

the engine is started, even when several

minutes have passed to allow the engine
