The ABS warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-

have the ABS system repaired at the
first available opportunity by your
SUBARU dealer.

may not be working properly. If
the light remains on, have the
brakes inspected by a SUBARU
dealer immediately.
y If at all in doubt about whether the
brakes are operating properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have your
vehicle towed to the nearest
SUBARU dealer for repair.
