& Brake system warning
light
S03AE10
WARNING
. Driving with th e brake system
warning light on is dangerous.
This indicates your brake system
may not be working properly. If
the light remains illuminated, we
recommend that you have the
brakes inspected by a SUBARU
dealer immediately.
. If at all in doubt about whether
the brakes are operating prop-
erly, do not drive the vehicle. We
recommend that you have your
vehicle towed to the nearest
SUBARU dealer for repair.
This light has the following functions:
! Parking brake warning
S03AE1001
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.
! Brake fluid level warning
S03AE1002
This light illuminates when the brake fluid
level has dropped to near the “MIN” level
of the brake fluid reservoir with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and with the
parking brake fully released.
If the brake system warning light should
illuminate while driving (with the parking
brake fully released and with the ignition
switch positioned in “ON”), it could be an
indication of leaking of brake fluid or worn
brake pads. If this occurs, immediately
stop the vehicle at the nearest safe place
and check the brake fluid level. If the fluid
level is below the “MIN” mark in th e
reservoir, do not drive the vehicle. We
recommend that you have the vehicle
towed to the nearest SUBARU dealer for
repair.
