Drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer and
have the system inspected.

minated 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. Drive carefully to the
nearest SUBARU dealer and have the system inspect-
ed.
6. If the brake fluid level is below the “MIN” mark, DO
NOT drive the vehicle. Instead, have the vehicle towed
to the nearest SUBARU dealer for repair.
y Driving with the brake system warning light
on is dangerous. This indicates your brake sys-

SUBARU dealer immediately.

operating properly, do not drive the vehicle.
Have your vehicle towed to the nearest
SUBARU dealer for repair.
