NOTEEven if the REV alarm system is not set,
the REV indicator light will flash when-
ever the engine speed enters the red
zone of the tachometer.
To change the REV indicator settings,
perform the procedures described in
“REV settings (STI)”F3-43.
Warning and indicator lightsSeveral of the warning and indicator lights
illuminate when you initially turn the igni-
tion switch to the“ON”position. This
permits checking the operation of the
bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the
ignition switch to the“ON”position. For
the system check, the following lights
illuminate and then turn off after several
seconds or after the engine has started.: Seatbelt warning light
(The seatbelt warning light turns off
only when the driver fastens the seat-
belt.): Front passenger’s seatbelt warning
light
(The seatbelt warning light turns off
only when the front seat passenger

NOTEThis light also illuminates when the fuel
filler cap is not tightened until it clicks.
If you have recently refueled your vehicle,
the cause of the CHECK ENGINE warning
light/malfunction indicator light illuminating
could be a loose or missing fuel filler cap.
Remove the cap and retighten it until it
clicks. Make sure nothing is interfering with
the sealing of the cap. Tightening the cap
will not make the CHECK ENGINE warn-
ing light/malfunction indicator light turn off
immediately. It may take several driving
trips. If the light does not turn off, take your
vehicle to your authorized SUBARU dealer
immediately.
!If the light is blinking
If the light is blinking while driving, an
engine misfire condition has been de-
tected which may damage the emission
control system.
To prevent serious damage to the emis-
sion control system, you should do the
following.
.Reduce vehicle speed.
.Avoid hard acceleration.
.Avoid steep uphill grades.
.Reduce the amount of cargo, if possi-
ble.The CHECK ENGINE warning light may
stop blinking and illuminate steadily after
several driving trips. You should have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
SUBARU dealer immediately.
&Charge warning lightIf 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,
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.
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 remainsilluminated, contact your nearest
SUBARU dealer immediately.
For details about checking the engine oil
level or adding the engine oil, refer to
“Engine oil”F11-13.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
oil pressure warning light on. This
may cause serious engine damage.&Engine low oil level
warning indicator
(except STI)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 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. Refer to“Engine oil”F11-13.
If the warning indicator does not disappear
after refilling the engine oil, or the warning
indicator appears even though the engine
oil level is within the normal range, have
the vehicle checked by a SUBARU dealer.

DefrostingPerform either of the following operations
to defrost or to dehumidify the windshield
and front door windows.
.Select the“
”mode by pressing the
defroster button (both types A and B)
.Select the“”mode by turning the
airflow mode selection dial (type A)
.Select the“”mode by pressing the
airflow mode selection button (type B)
NOTEWhen the“
”or“
”mode is se-
lected, the air conditioner compressor
operates automatically regardless of
the position of the air conditioner
button to defrost the windshield more
quickly. However the indicator on the
air conditioner button will not illumi-
nate. At the same time, the air inlet
selection is automatically set to the
outside air mode. After defrosting the
windshield by pressing the defroster
button“
”, pressing the button again
returns the system to the setting that
had been selected before the defroster
was activated.
Operating tips for heater and
air conditioner&Cleaning ventilation grille1) Front ventilation inlet grilleAlways keep the front ventilation inlet grille
free of snow, leaves, or other obstructions
to ensure efficient heating and defrosting.
Since the condenser is located in front of
the radiator, this area should be kept clean
because cooling performance is impaired
by any accumulation of insects and leaves
on the condenser.
&Efficient cooling after parking
in direct sunlightAfter parking in direct sunlight, drive with
the windows open for a few minutes to
allow outside air to circulate into the
heated interior. This results in quicker
cooling by the air conditioner. Keep the
windows closed during the operation of the
air conditioner for maximum cooling effi-
ciency.&Lubrication oil circulation in
the refrigerant circuitOperate the air conditioner compressor at
a low engine speed (at idle or low driving
speeds) a few minutes each month during
the off-season to circulate its oil.&Checking air conditioning
system before summer sea-
sonCheck the air conditioner unit for refriger-
ant leaks, hose conditions, and proper
operation each spring. Have the air con-
ditioning system checked by your
SUBARU dealer.
