Subaru Forester: Electronic parking brake light / Parking brake indicator
The light illuminates with the parking brake
applied while the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position. It turns off when the parking
brake is fully released.
WARNING
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...

Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”/
“OFF” position...
Two separate circuits
Your vehicle has two separate circuit brake
systems. Each circuit works diagonally
across the vehicle. If one circuit of the
brake system should fail, the other half of
the system still works. If one circuit fails,
the brake pedal will go down much closer
to the floor than usual and you will need to
press it down much harder...
