Starting and operating
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. Drive carefully to the near-
est 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. Drive carefully to the nearest
SUBARU dealer and have the system in-
spected.
6. If the brake fluid level is below the
"MIN" mark, DO NOT drive the vehicle. In-
stead, we recommend that you have the
vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU
dealer for repair.
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 in-
spected by a SUBARU dealer im-
mediately.
If at all in doubt about whether the
brakes are operating properly, do
not drive the vehicle. We recom-
mend that you have your vehicle
towed to the nearest SUBARU
dealer for repair.
Vehicle Dynamics Control
system (if equipped)
Always use the utmost care in driv-
ing – overconfidence because you
are driving with a Vehicle Dynamics
Control system equipped vehicle
could easily lead to a serious acci-
dent.
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with Vehicle Dynamics Control,
winter tires or snow
should be used when driving on
snow-covered or icy roads; in ad-
dition, vehicle speed should be re-
duced considerably.
having a Vehicle Dynamics Con-
trol system does not guarantee
that the vehicle will be able to
avoid accidents in any situation.
