Subaru Forester: Warning and indicator / Brake system warning light (red)

This light illuminates with the parking
brake applied while the ignition switch is
in the “ON” position. It turns off when the
parking brake is fully released.
WARNING
- Driving with the brake system
warning light on is dangerous.
This indicates your brake system
may not be working properly. If
the light remains illuminated,
have the brakes inspected by a
SUBARU dealer immediately.
- 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.
The brake system warning light has the
following functions.
This 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 fully released...
Other information:
Park the vehicle on a level surface and
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”/
“OFF” position. If you check the oil level
just after turning the ignition switch to the
“LOCK”/“OFF” position, wait for at least 5
minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil
pan before checking the level...
WARNING
Never adjust the seat while driving,
as personal injury or loss of
vehicle control may occur.
Before adjusting the seat, ensure
nothing is blocking the adjusting
mechanism.
After adjusting the seat, move it
back and forth to ensure the seat
is securely locked...
