CAUTION

If the warning light behaves as follows, the ABS system may not work properly.

When the warning light illuminates, the ABS function shuts down; however, the conventional brake system continues to operate normally.

• The warning light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.

• The warning light illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, but it does not turn off even when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 8 mph (12 km/h).

• The warning light illuminates during driving.

If any of these conditions occur, have the ABS system repaired at the first available opportunity by your SUBARU dealer.

The ABS warning light illuminates together with the brake system warning light if the EBD system becomes malfunctioning.

For further details of the EBD system malfunction warning, refer to “Brake system warning light”.

NOTE

If the warning light behavior is as described in the following, the ABS system may be considered normal.

• The warning light illuminates right after the engine is started but turns off immediately, remaining off.

• The warning light remains illuminated after the engine has been started, but it turns off when the vehicle speed reaches approximately 8 mph (12 km/h).

• The warning light illuminates during driving, but it turns off immediately and remains off.

When driving with an insufficient battery voltage such as when the engine is jump started, the ABS warning light may illuminate.

This is due to the low battery voltage and does not indicate a malfunction.

When the battery becomes fully charged, the light will turn off.
