3-18
Instruments and controls/Warning and indicator lights
sufficiently.
If the engine coolant temperature in-
creases over the specified range, the
indicator light/warning light blinks in
RED. At this time, the engine is close to
overheating.
If the engine coolant temperature in-
creases further, the indicator light/warning
light illuminates in RED continuously. At
this time, the engine may be overheating.
When the indicator light/warning light
blinks in RED or illuminates in RED, safely
stop the vehicle as soon as possible, and
refer to the emergency steps for the
engine overheating. Refer to "Engine
overheating" F9-11. Afterward, we recom-
mend that you have the system checked
by your nearest SUBARU dealer.
Also, if the indicator light/warning light
often blinks in RED, the electrical system
may be malfunctioning. We recommend
that you contact your SUBARU dealer for
an inspection.
NOTE
If the engine is restarted after a certain
driving condition, this indicator light/
warning light may illuminate in RED.
However, this is not a malfunction if the
indicator light/warning light turns off
after a short time.

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"
F11-15.
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 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 light does not turn off after refilling
the engine oil, or the light illuminates even
though the engine oil level is within the
normal range, we recommend that you
have the vehicle checked by a SUBARU
dealer.
