& Power Steering Warning Light s03ae53
While the engine is running , this warning light illuminates when a malfunction has been detected in the electric power steering system .
|
CAUTION |
When the power steering warning light is illuminated , there may be more resistance when the steering wheel is operated . Drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected immediately .
NOTE
If the steering wheel is operated in the following ways , the power steering control system may temporarily limit
|
the power assist in order to prevent the system components , such as the control computer and drive motor , from overheating .
. The steering wheel is operated frequently and turned sharply while the vehicle is maneuvered at extremely low speeds , such as while frequently turning the steering wheel during parallel parking .
. The steering wheel remains in the fully turned position for a long period of time .
At this time , there will be more resistance when steering . However , this is not a malfunction . Normal steering force will be restored after the steering wheel is not operated for a while and the power steering control system has an opportunity to cool down . However , if the power steering is operated in a non-standard way which causes power assist limitation to occur too frequently , that may result in a malfunction of the power steering control system .

! Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light s03ae1401
CAUTION
The Vehicle Dynamics Control system provides its ABS control through the electrical circuit of the ABS . 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 becomes inoperative , causing the warning light to illuminate . Although both the Vehicle Dynamics Control and ABS are inoperative in this case , the ordinary functions of the brake system are still available . You will be safe while driving in this condition , but drive carefully and have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible .
