427
WARNING
lUnlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the vehicle stationary for an extended period
of time. Do not attempt to use hill-start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as
doing so may lead to an accident.
n When the TRAC / ABS / VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes.
Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident.
Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
n When the TRAC / VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road conditions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do not turn the TRAC / VSC systems off unless necessary.
n Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In
addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if
different tires are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your SUBARU retailer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
n Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension
will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to
malfunction. n Secondary Collision Brake( Secondary collision reduction at the time of a frontal collision)
Do not rely solely upon the Secondary Collision Brake( Secondary collision reduction at the time
of a frontal collision). This system
is designed to help reduce the possibility of further damage due
to a secondary collision, however,
that effect changes according to various conditions. Overly relying
on the system may result in death or serious injury.
