! Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning
S03AE1003
The EBD system may be malfunctioning if
the brake system warning light and ABS
warning light illuminate simultaneously
during driving.
Even if the EBD system fails, the conven-
tional braking system will still function.
However, the rear wheels will be more
prone to locking when the brakes are
applied harder than usual and the vehi-
cles motion may therefore become some-
what harder to control.
If the brake system warning light and ABS
warni ng light illuminate simultaneously,
take the following steps.
1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe,
flat place.
2. Shut down t he engine, apply the
parking brake, and then restart it.
3. Release the parking brake. If both
warning lights turn off, the EBD system
may be malfunctioning.
We recommend that you drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the
system inspected.
4. If both warning lights illuminate again
and stay illuminated after the engine has
been restarted, shut down the en gine
again, apply the parking brake, and check
the brake fluid level.
5. If the brake fluid level is not below the
MIN mark, the EBD system may be
malfunctioning. We recommend that you
drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU
dealer and have the system inspected.
6. If the brake fluid level is below the
MIN mark, DO NOT drive the vehicle.
Instead, we recommend that you have the
vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU
dealer for repair.
& Fuel filter warning light
(diesel engine models)
S03AE54
This warning light illuminates when the
amount of accumulated water in the fuel
filter has reached the specified level. If this
warning light illuminates, we recommend
that you have your vehicle checked at a
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Never drive the vehicle when the
warning light is illuminated. Conti-
nuing to drive while w ater has
accumulated in the fuel filter will
damage the fuel injection pump.
& Low fuel warning light
S03AE11
The low fuel warning light illuminates
when the tank is nearly empty (approxi-
mately 9.0 liters (2.3 US gal, or 1.9 Imp
gal)). It only operates when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. When this
light illuminates, fill the fuel tank immedi-
ately.
NOTE
This light does not turn off unless the
tank is replenished up to an internal
fuel quantity of approximately 14 liters
(3.7 US gal, 3.1 Imp gal).
CAUTION
Turbo models only:
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light
illuminates. Engine misfires as a
result of an empty tank could cause
damage to the engine.
& Hill start assist warning
light (MT models)
S03AE47
While the engine is rotating, if any
malfunction is detected in the hill start
assist system control, the warning light will
illuminate.
