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 .
NOTE
. If the electrical circuit of the Vehicle Dynamics Control system itself malfunctions , the warning light only illuminates . At this time , the ABS ( Anti-lock Brake System ) remains fully operational .
. The warning light illuminates when the electronic control system of the ABS / Vehicle Dynamics Control system malfunctions .
The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is probably inoperative under any of the following conditions . Have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer immediately .
