Subaru Forester: Parking your vehicle / Emergency brake
CAUTION
Use the emergency brake only in
case of an emergency. If the emergency
brake is excessively used, the
brake parts will wear down faster or
the brake may not work sufficiently
due to brake overheating.
NOTE
While using the emergency brake:
- The electronic parking brake indicator
light and the indicator light on the
parking brake switch illuminate and a
chirp sounds.
- A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment. This is the operating
sound of the brake that is activated
by the Vehicle Dynamics Control
system, and does not indicate a malfunction.
If the foot brake has a malfunction, you can
stop the vehicle by pulling the parking
brake switch continuously.
While applying the emergency brake, the
electronic parking brake indicator light and
the indicator light on the parking brake
switch illuminate and a chirp sounds.
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...
