&
Door open warning
light
The door open warning light illuminates if
any door or the rear gate is not fully
closed.
Always make sure this light is out before
you start to drive.
&
All-Wheel Drive warn-
ing light (AT vehicles)
The All-Wheel Drive warning light illumi-
nates when the ignition switch is turned to
the "ON" position and turns off after the
engine has started.
This light illuminates when All-Wheel
Drive is disengaged and the drive me-
chanism is switched to Front Wheel Drive
for maintenance or similar purposes.
It flashes if the vehicle is driven with tires
of differing diameters fitted on the wheels
or with an excessively low air pressure in
any of the tires.
CAUTION
Continuing to drive with the AWD
warning light flashing can damage
the powertrain. If the AWD warning
light starts to flash, promptly park in
a safe place and check whether the
tires have differing diameters and
whether any of the tires has an
excessively low inflation pressure.
&
Power steering warn-
ing light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates when the
ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position and turns off after the engine
has started. This indicates that the warn-
ing system is working properly.
While the engine is running, this warning
light illuminates when a malfunction has
been detected in the electric power steer-
ing system.
CAUTION
When the power steering warning
light is illuminated, there may be
more resistance when the steering
wheel is operated. We recommend
that you drive carefully to the near-
est SUBARU dealer and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
NOTE
If the steering wheel is operated fre-
quently while the vehicle is stopped,
the power steering control system may
temporarily limit the power assist in
Instruments and controls
order to prevent the system from over-
heating. At this time, there will be more
resistance when steering. However this
is not a malfunction. The normal steer-
ing force will be restored after a short
time.
&
Automatic headlight
beam leveler warning
light (vehicles with HID
headlights)
The automatic headlight beam leveler
warning light illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position and
turns off after approximately 3 seconds.
This light illuminates when the automatic
headlight beam leveler does not operate
normally.
If this light illuminates while driving or does
not turn off approximately 3 seconds after
turning the ignition switch to the "ON"
position, we recommend that you have
your vehicle inspected at your SUBARU
dealer.
