&Vehicle Dynamics Con-
trol warning light/Vehicle
Dynamics Control op-
eration indicator light!Vehicle Dynamics Control warning
light
CAUTION
The Vehicle Dynamics Control sys-
tem 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
also becomes inoperative, causing
the warning light to illuminate.
Though 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 with
this condition, but drive carefully
and have your vehicle checked at a
SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
NOTE.If the electrical circuit of the Vehicle
Dynamics Control system itself mal-
functions, the warning light only illumi-
nates. At this time, the ABS (Anti-lock
Brake System) remains fully opera-
tional.
.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 immedi-
ately.
.The warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”position.
.The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is running.
NOTEIf the warning light behavior is as
described in the following examples,
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system
may be considered normal.
.The warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”
position and turns off approximately 2
seconds after the engine has started.
.The warning light illuminates right
after the engine is started but turns off
immediately, remaining off.
.The warning light illuminates after
the engine has started and turns off
while the vehicle is subsequently being
driven.
.The warning light illuminates while
driving, but it turns off immediately and
remains off.
.The warning light illuminates when
the engine has stalled and continues to
illuminate after the engine has been
restarted. However, it will turn off once
the vehicle starts moving.
