■If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking 
for approximately one minute (if equipped) 
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 
approximately one minute when the push-button ignition switch is turned
to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start sys-
tem) or the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without
a keyless access with push button start system), have it checked your
SUBARU dealer.
WARNING
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on (if equipped) 
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could 
cause loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire 
inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres- 
sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires.
If the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired
by the nearest SUBARU dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, 
you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur (vehicles with a tire 
pressure monitoring system) 
The tire pressure monitoring system may not activate immediately.

may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle checked by your SUBARU

headlights do not turn on, or the horn does not sound. 
One of the following may be the cause of the problem. ● One or both of the battery terminals may be disconnected.
● The battery may be discharged. ( →P. 404)
● There may be a malfunction in the steering lock system. (vehi- 
cles with a keyless access with push button start system)
Contact your SUBARU dealer if the problem cannot be repaired, or if
