Can I drive Forester with CEL on, CC flashing, stability light on

Asked by NewbieAussie Nov 01, 2019 at 07:41 AM about the 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5 X

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a check engine light on, cruise control flashing and the stability light
thingy on. I desperately need my car tomorrow. Is it safe to drive or should I
take straight to mechanic??
(I understand something is wrong and it needs to be attneded to, but can it
wait until Monday?)

Probably safe to drive but not for any extended miles until you have those codes and indicators checked out. The ones you cited will not prevent you from driving it for the three days.
