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:
Before entering the vehicle, remove any
snow or ice from your shoes because that
could make the pedals slippery and driving
dangerous.
While warming up the vehicle before
driving, check that the accelerator pedal,
brake pedal, and all other controls operate
smoothly...
Assist grip
The assist grip is to be held to support the
body of the passengers when they are in
the seat and the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
Do not hold the assist grip when
getting up from the seat. Holding
and pulling the assist grip in the
wrong way could break the grip and
possibly cause injury...
