It flashes if the vehicle is driven with tires
of differing diameters fitted on the wheels
or with an excessively low air pressure in
any of the tires.

warning light flashing can damage
the powertrain. If the AWD warning
light starts to flash, promptly park in
a safe place and check whether the
tires have differing diameters and
whether any of the tires has an
excessively low inflation pressure.

indicating malfunctions in the Vehicle
Dynamics Control system and the function
of indicating that the Vehicle Dynamics
Control system has been deactivated or
only the Traction Control system has been
deactivated.
It illuminates in the event of a malfunction
in the system and is on when the Vehicle
Dynamics Control system is not operating
or only the Traction Control system is not
operating.
Except STI
This warning light illuminates for several
seconds when the ignition switch is turned
to the "ON" position. It indicates that the
Vehicle Dynamics Control system is oper-
ating normally.
STI
This warning light illuminates in yellow for
approximately 1 second when the ignition

second, and then turns off. It indicates that
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system is
operating normally.

light (yellow)
CAUTION
The Vehicle Dynamics Control sys-
tem provides its ABS control
through the electrical circuit of the
ABS system. Accordingly, if the ABS
is inoperative, the Vehicle Dynamics
Control system becomes unable to
provide ABS control. As a result, the
Vehicle Dynamics Control system
also becomes inoperative, causing
the warning light to illuminate.
Though both the Vehicle Dynamics
Control and ABS systems are inop-
erative in this case, the ordinary
functions of the brake system are
still available. You will be safe while
driving with this condition, but drive
carefully and have your vehicle
checked at a SUBARU dealer as
