This single light has the function of

Dynamics Control system and the function
of indicating that the Vehicle Dynamics
Control system is not operating. It comes
on in the event of a malfunction in the
system and is illuminated whenever the
system is not operating.
! Vehicle Dynamics Control warning
The warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position and goes 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
Black plate (286,1)
Control system; if any should occur, have
an authorized SUBARU dealer carry out
an inspection of the system at the first
available opportunity.
. The warning light does not turn on
when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
. The warning light turns on while the
vehicle is being driven.
. When a malfunction has occurred in
the Vehicle Dynamics Control electrical
system, only the warning light will turn on.
In such an event, the ABS will still be
operating normally.
. The warning light will also turn on when
a problem occurs with the ABS or Vehicle
Dynamics Control electronic control sys-
tems.
Because the Vehicle Dynamics Control
system controls each brake through the
ABS, whenever the ABS stops operating
due to a malfunction in that electrical
S07AN010201 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 turns on. 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
