If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the charging
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 alternator belt. If the belt is
loose, broken or if the belt is in good
condition but the light remains illuminated,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
immediately.

engine at the first safe opportunity and
check the engine oil level. If the oil level is

at the proper level but the light remains
illuminated, contact your nearest
SUBARU dealer immediately.

oil, if the engine oil level is within the
normal range when restarting the en-
gine on a level surface, the warning
indicator will disappear.
