Charge warning light

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,
we recommend that you contact your
nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.

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
F11-14.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
oil pressure warning light on. This
may cause serious engine damage.
&
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 if necessary. Refer to Engine oil F11-
14.
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.
NOTE
The warning light may stay illuminated
when the engine is started straight
after topping up or changing the engine
oil. In such cases, park the vehicle on a
level surface and wait for more than a
minute until the oil level settles, after
which the warning light will turn off.
! 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
