OM-H0163
The disc brake pad wear warning indicators on the
disc brakes give a warning noise when the brake
pads are worn.
If a squeaking or scraping noise is heard from the
disc brakes while braking, immediately have your
vehicle checked by your SUBARU dealer.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
The ABS system prevents the lock-up of wheels
which may occur during sudden braking or braking
on slippery road surfaces. This helps prevent the
loss of steering control and directional stability
caused by wheel lock-up.
When the ABS system is operating, you may hear a
chattering noise or feel a slight vibration in the brake
pedal. This is normal when the ABS operates.
The ABS system will not operate when the vehicle
speed is below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
WARNING
Always use the utmost care in driving – over-
confidence because you are driving with an
ABS equipped vehicle could easily lead to a
serious accident.
