J Disc brake pad wear warning indicators 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. J ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) (if equipped) WARNING Always use the utmost care in driving - overconfidence because you are driving with an ABS equipped vehicle could easily lead to a serious accident. D The ABS system cannot always decrease stopping distance. Therefore always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. D When driving on badly surfaced roads, gravel roads, icy roads, or over deep newly fallen snow, stopping distances may be longer for a vehicle with the ABS system than one without. When driving under these conditions, therefore, reduce your speed and leave ample distance from other vehicles. CAUTION 7-30
