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...
CAUTION
If the CHECK ENGINE warning light/
Malfunction indicator light illuminates
while you are driving, have
your vehicle checked/repaired by
your SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible. Continued vehicle operation
without having the emission
control system checked and repaired
as necessary could cause
serious damage, which may not be
covered by your vehicle’s warranty...
