3-22 Instruments and controls
The EBD system may be malfunctioning if
the brake system warning light and ABS
warning light illuminate simultaneousl y
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 il luminate simultaneously,
take the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe,
flat place.
2. Sh ut down the 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 faulty.
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 engine
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
faulty. 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.
& Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light il luminates
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 vehicles)
When the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, the Hill start assist warning
light illuminates. After the engine starts it
will turn off. While the engine is rotating, if
any malfunction is detected in the hill start
assist system control, the warning light will
illuminate.
WARNING
When the Hill start assist warning
light illuminates, we recommend
that you have the vehicle inspected
immediately at an authorized
SUBARU dealer.
