Starting and operating
through the ABS, whenever the ABS
stops operating due to a malfunction in that electrical 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 illuminates.
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 Control system and the
ABS do not adversely affect operation of the vehicle in any way when
they are inoperable. However
should such a situation occur, drive
with care and have an authorized
SUBARU dealer carry out an inspection of those systems at the first
available opportunity.
NOTE
. When a malfunction has occurred in
the Vehicle Dynamics Control electrical
system, only the warning light will
illuminate. In such an event, the ABS
will still be operating normally.
. The warning light will also illuminate
when a problem occurs with the ABS or
Vehicle Dynamics Control electronic
control systems.
The warning light illuminates when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position and turns off several seconds
after the engine has started. This lighting
pattern indicates that the Vehicle Dynamics Control system is operating normally.
The following situations could indicate a
malfunction of the Vehicle Dynamics
Control system. If any of these situations
occur, have an authorized SUBARU dealer carry out an inspection of the system at
the first available opportunity.
. The warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
. The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven.
NOTE
When the warning light turns on and off
in the following way, it indicates that
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system
is operating normally.
