Subaru Forester: Brake system warning light (red) / Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) system warning
If the warning light remains on even though
the parking brake is released, the brake
fluid level may be low or there could be a
problem with the EBD system. Park the
vehicle in a safe place immediately and
contact a SUBARU dealer.
The brake system warning light
will
illuminate when the vacuum pressure
sensor is malfunctioning or brake booster
pressure is decreasing.
If the brake warning light continues to
illuminate for several minutes after starting
the engine, there may be a malfunction in
the vacuum system...
Other information:
CAUTION
Be extremely careful not to catch
fingers or other objects when
closing the engine hood.
Do not push the hood forcibly to
close it. It could deform the metal.
Be extremely careful opening the
engine hood when the wind is
strong. The engine hood could
close suddenly, possibly causing
injuries from slamming...
To ensure safety, the engine will not be
automatically restarted if the engine hood
is opened when the Auto Start Stop
system is in operation, even if the brake
pedal is released. In this case, check the
surrounding area and restart the engine by
normal operation...
