Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF indicator light

The light illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position


The light illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and turns off after approximately 2 seconds. The light illuminates when the Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch is pressed to deactivate the Vehicle Dynamics Control system.

The following two situations could indicate a malfunction of the Vehicle Dynamics Control system. If either should occur, have an authorized SUBARU dealer carry out an inspection of that system at the first available opportunity.

● The indicator light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

● The indicator light does not turn off approximately 2 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned to the ON position.
