Engine Low Oil Level Warning Indicator; At Oil Temp Warning Light (Cvt Models); Low Tire Pressure Warning Light (If Equipped) - Subaru Outback 2016 Manual

&
Engine low oil level
warning indicator
This indicator appears when the engine oil
level decreases to the lower limit.
If the engine low oil level warning indicator
appears while driving, park the vehicle at 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" F11-16.
If the warning light does not disappear
after refilling with engine oil or the warning
indicator appears even though the engine
oil level is within the normal range, we
recommend that you have the system
checked by a SUBARU dealer.
NOTE
. After replacing or adding the engine
oil, if the engine oil level is within the
normal range when restarting the en-
gine on a level surface, the warning
indicator will be off.
. The warning indicator may appear
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
Instruments and controls/Warning and indicator lights
– when the vehicle has continu-
ously accelerated and decelerated
– when the vehicle is continuously
turned
– when the vehicle is driven on a
road that alternates continuously
between uphill and downhill

AT OIL TEMP warning
light (CVT models)
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the transmis-
sion fluid temperature is too hot.
If the light illuminates while driving, im-
mediately stop the vehicle in a safe place
and let the engine idle until the warning
light turns off.
! Transmission control system warn-
ing
If the "AT OIL TEMP" warning light flashes
after the engine has started, it may
indicate that the transmission control
system is not working properly. We re-
commend that you contact your nearest
SUBARU dealer for service immediately.

Low tire pressure
warning light (if
equipped)
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 the system functions normally
and the tire pressure of all four wheels is
appropriate for the selected TPMS mode,
the warning light will turn off. The TPMS
mode should be changed according to the
specified pressure shown on the tire
inflation pressure label. For how to change
a mode and information about the mode to
be selected, refer to "TPMS mode setting"
F7-44.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure 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
