Engine low oil level
warning light
This light illuminates when the engine oil
level decreases to the lower limit.
If the warning light illuminates 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" F11-15.
If the warning light does not turn off after
refilling the engine oil, or the light illumi-
nates even though the engine oil level is
within the normal range, we recommend
that you have the vehicle checked by a
SUBARU dealer.
Instruments and controls/Warning and indicator lights
! Tips
For models with Auto Start Stop system:
. The engine low oil level warning light
will not turn off immediately even if you
replace or add engine oil. It will turn off
after the vehicle starts to move. Depend-
ing on the driving conditions and environ-
ment where the vehicle is driven, it may
take a period of approximately 10 minutes
for the light to turn off. If the light has still
not turned off after 15 minutes have
elapsed, we recommend that you contact
your SUBARU dealer.
. The engine low oil level warning light
may illuminate 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 continuously
accelerated and decelerated
– when the vehicle is continuously
turned
– when the vehicle is driven on a road
that alternates continuously between
uphill and downhill
For models without Auto Start Stop
system:
. The engine low oil level warning light
turns off when the ignition switch is turned
to the "LOCK"/"OFF" position. However,
after the next time you turn on the engine,
if the engine oil level has decreased to the
lower limit, the warning light illuminates
frequently while the engine is running.
. When the vehicle is considerably in-
clined on an uphill or steep slope, the
warning light may illuminate temporarily
due to the movement of engine oil in the
engine.
&
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.
