“ON” position. It turns off when the parking
brake is fully released.

When you release the electronic
parking brake while the engine is
running, the electronic parking
brake indicator light will turn off.
However, if the light still illuminates,
stop the vehicle in a safe
place immediately and have the
system inspected by a SUBARU
dealer...
Other information:
Using an electronic chirp, the system will
give you an audible signal when the doors
lock and unlock. If desired, you may turn
the audible signal off.
Perform the following steps to deactivate
the audible signal. You can also use the
same steps to restore the function...
If you believe that your vehicle has a
defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to
notifying Subaru of America, Inc.

it may open an investigation,
and if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of vehicles,
it may order a recall and remedy
campaign...
