Warning and indicator
& Engine low oil level
warning light
This light illuminates when the engine oil
level decreases to the lower limit.
If the warning light illuminates, check the
engine oil level on a level surface. When
the engine oil level is not within the normal
range, refill with engine oil. Refer to
"Engine oil" FP426. If the warning light
does not turn off after refilling the engine
oil, or the warning light illuminates even
though the engine oil level is within the
normal range, have the vehicle checked by
a SUBARU dealer.
NOTE
. The oil level will be detected by the
system just after turning the ignition
switch to the "ON" position, and the low
oil level warning light will turn on when
the oil level is below the lower limit. The
warning light will turn off when the
ignition switch is turned to the "OFF"
position.
. In the following cases, the low oil
level warning light may not illuminate
even if the oil level is below the lower
limit to avoid the erroneous lighting.
– The car is parked on a steep
slope.
– Rapid acceleration, hard braking
or rapid steering occurred during
EV driving.
– The engine was restarted within a
few hours.
& Windshield washer
fluid warning light
This light illuminates when the fluid level in
the windshield washer fluid tank de-
creases to the lower limit (approximately
0.6 US qt (0.6 liters, 0.5 Imp qt)).
& Low tire pressure
warning light (U.S.-
spec. models)
When the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will illuminate for approximately 2
seconds to check that the tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) is functioning
properly. If there is no problem and all tires
are properly inflated, the light will turn off.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
