Subaru Forester: Parking your vehicle / Electronic parking brake system warning
CAUTION
If the brake system warning light
turns on, the electronic parking
brake system may be malfunctioning.
Immediately stop your vehicle in
the nearest safe location and contact
your SUBARU dealer.
If a malfunction occurs in the electronic
parking brake system, the brake system
warning light turns on. Refer to “Electronic
parking brake light”.
When parking your vehicle, always perform
the following items.
Apply the parking brake firmly.
Put the select lever in the “P” position.
Never rely on the mechanical friction of the
transmission alone to hold the vehicle...
Other information:
The 4 sonar sensors are located in the rear
bumper. To ensure the proper operation of
the Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system, observe the following precautions.
Do not affix any stickers or other items
on the sonar sensor or the bumper surface
near the sonar sensors...
WARNING
Adequate size trailer brakes are
required when the trailer and its
cargo exceed 1,000 lbs (453 kg)
total weight.
Do not directly connect your
trailer’s hydraulic brake system
to the hydraulic brake system in
your vehicle. Direct connection
would cause the vehicle’s brake
performance to deteriorate and
could lead to an accident...
