Warning and indicator lights

Several of the warning and indicator lights come on momentarily and
then go out when the ignition switch is initially turned to the "ON" posi-
tion. This permits checking the operation of the bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
The following lights come on:
Seat belt warning light

SRS airbag system warning light

Charge warning light

Oil pressure warning light

Brake system warning light

CHECK ENGINE warning light/Malfunction indicator lamp

ABS warning light (if equipped)
AT OIL TEMP warning light (automatic transmission vehicles)
If any lights fail to come on, it indicates a burned-out bulb or a malfunc-
tion of the corresponding system.
Consult your authorized SUBARU dealer for repair.
J Seat belt warning light and chime
When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, the seat belt
warning light will come on and the reminder chime will sound to remind
driver to fasten the seat belt.
The seat belt warning light remains on for about six seconds and turns
off automatically after six seconds.
The seat belt reminder chime will turn off when the driver's side seat belt
is buckled or it will turn off automatically after about six seconds.
J SRS airbag system warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, the SRS airbag
system warning light will come on for about six seconds and go out. This
shows the SRS airbag system is in normal operation.
If this light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine
starts, it may indicate that the SRS airbag system is not working properly.
Contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.
