&
Oil pressure warning
light
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the engine oil
pressure is low and the lubricating system
is not working properly.
If the light illuminates while driving or does
not turn off after the engine starts, stop the
engine at the first safe opportunity and
check the engine oil level. If the oil level is
low, add oil immediately. If the engine oil is
at the proper level but the light remains
illuminated, we recommend that you con-
tact your nearest SUBARU dealer imme-
diately.
For details about checking the oil level or
adding the engine oil, refer to Engine oil
F11-16.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
oil pressure warning light on. This
may cause serious engine damage.
Instruments and controls/Warning and indicator lights
&
Engine low oil level
warning indicator
(except STI)
This indicator appears when the engine oil
level decreases to the lower limit.
If the indicator appears while driving, park
the vehicle in a safe and level location,
and then check the engine oil level. When
the engine oil level is not within the normal
range, refill with engine oil as soon as
possible. Refer to Engine oil F11-16.
If the indicator does not disappear after
refilling the engine oil, or the indicator
appears even though the engine oil level
is within the normal range, we recommend
that you have the vehicle checked by a
SUBARU dealer.
NOTE
. After replacing or adding engine oil,
if the engine oil level is within the
normal range when restarting the en-
gine on a level surface, the warning
indicator will be off.
. The warning indicator may appear
temporarily in the following conditions
because a low oil level may be detected
as a result of significant oil movement
in the engine.
– when the vehicle is considerably
inclined on an uphill or steep slope
– when the vehicle has continu-
ously accelerated and decelerated
– when the vehicle is continuously
turned
– when the vehicle is driven on a
road that alternates continuously
between uphill and downhill
&
AT OIL TEMP warning
light (CVT models)
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the transmis-
sion fluid temperature is too hot.
If the light illuminates while driving, im-
mediately stop the vehicle in a safe
location and let the engine idle until the
warning light turns off.
! Transmission control system warn-
ing
If the AT OIL TEMP warning light flashes
after the engine has started, it may
indicate that the transmission control
system is not working properly. We re-
commend that you contact your nearest
SUBARU dealer for service immediately.
