light/coolant temperature high warning
light has the following three functions.
.Illumination inBLUEindicates insuffi-
cient warming up of the engine
.Blinking inREDindicates that the
engine is close to overheating
.Illumination inREDindicates overheat-
ing condition of the engine

switch is turned to the“ON”position. After
that, this indicator light/warning light
changes toBLUEand maintains illumina-
tion inBLUE. ThisBLUEilluminated light
turns off when the engine is warmed up
sufficiently.
If the engine coolant temperature in-creases over the specified range, the
indicator light/warning light blinks inRED.
At this time, the engine is close to over-
heating.
If the engine coolant temperature in-
creases further, the indicator light/warning
light illuminates inREDcontinuously. At
this time, the engine may be overheating.
When the indicator light/warning light
blinks inREDor illuminates inRED, safely
stop the vehicle as soon as possible, and
refer to the emergency steps to take in the
case of engine overheating. Refer to
“Engine overheating”F9-12. After that,

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,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
immediately.&Oil pressure warning
lightIf 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.

battery fluid level or periodically refill with
distilled water.
However, if the battery fluid level is below
the lower level, remove the cap. Fill to the
upper level with distilled water.
CAUTION
Never use more than 10 amperes
when charging the battery because
it will shorten battery life.
Fuses
CAUTION
Never replace a fuse with one having
a higher rating or with material other
than a fuse because serious damage
or a fire could result.
The fuses are designed to melt during an
overload to prevent damage to the wiring
harness and electrical equipment. The
fuses are located in two fuse boxes.One is located under the instrument panel
behind the fuse box cover on the driver’s
seat side. To remove the cover, pull it out.
1) Spare fusesThe other one (main fuse box) is housed in
the engine compartment. Also, the spare
fuses are stored in the fuse box cover.The fuse puller is stored in the main fuse
