SUBARU dealer immediately.

position.

& Brake system warning
light (red)
WARNING
. Driving with the br ake 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:
! Brake fluid level warning
The 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 released.
If the light should illuminate while driving
(with the parking brake 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 near-
est safe place and check the brake fluid
level. For details, refer to Brake fluid
F11-29. If the fluid level is below the
MIN mark in the reservoir, do not drive
the vehicle. We recommend that you have
the vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU
dealer for repair. For details, refer to
Towing F9-23.
! Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning
The brake system warning light also
illuminates if a malfunction occurs in the
EBD system. In that event, it illuminates
together with the ABS warning light.
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.
