SUBARU dealer.
– The warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
– The warning light illuminates
when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position,
but it does not turn off even
when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h).
– The warning light illuminates
during driving.
. When the warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is
off), the ABS function shuts
down. However, the conventional
brake system continues to operate normally.
The ABS warning light illuminates together with the brake system warning light
if the EBD system malfunctions. For
further details of the EBD system malfunction warning, refer to “Electronic
Brake Force Distribution (EBD) system
warning” F3-19.
NOTE
If the warning light behavior is as
described in the following conditions,
the ABS may be considered normal.
. The warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and turns off approximately 2 seconds after the hybrid
system has started.
. The warning light illuminates right
after the hybrid system is started but
turns off immediately, remaining off.
. The warning light remains illuminated after the hybrid system has been
started, but it turns off when the vehicle
speed reaches approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h).
. The warning light illuminates during
driving, but it turns off immediately and
remains off.
When driving with an insufficient battery
voltage such as when the hybrid system is
jump started, the ABS warning light may
illuminate. This is due to the low battery
voltage and does not indicate a malfunction. When the battery becomes fully
charged, the light will turn off.
& Brake system
warning light (red)
The light illuminates with the parking
brake applied while the ignition switch is
in the “ON” position. It turns off when the
parking brake is fully released.
WARNING
. Driving with the brake system
warning light on is dangerous.
This indicates your brake system
may not be working properly. If
the light remains illuminated,
have the brakes inspected by a
SUBARU dealer immediately.
. If at all in doubt about whether
the brakes are operating properly, do not drive the vehicle.
Have your vehicle towed to the
nearest SUBARU dealer for repair.

following functions.
! Brake fluid level warning
This light illuminates when the brake fluid
level has dropped to near the “MIN” level
