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.

flashes, the electronic parking
brake system may be malfunctioning. Immediately stop your
vehicle in a safe location, use
