This coolant temperature low indicator
light/coolant temperature high warning
light has the following three functions.
Illumination in BLUE indicates insuffi-
cient warming up of the engine
 Blinking in RED indicates that the
engine is close to overheating
 Illumination in RED indicates over-
heating condition of the engine
For the system check, this indicator light/
warning light illuminates in RED for
approximately 2 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position.
After that, this indicator light/warning light
changes to BLUE and maintains illumina- tion in BLUE
. This BLUE illuminated light
turns off when the engine is warmed up
sufficiently.
If the engine coolant temperature
increases over the specified range, the
indicator light/warning light blinks in RED.
At this time, the engine is close to over-
heating.
If the engine coolant temperature
increases further, the indicator light/
warning light illuminates in RED continu-
ously. At this time, the engine may be
overheating.
When the indicator light/warning light
blinks in RED or illuminates in RED, safely
stop the vehicle as soon as possible, and
refer to the emergency steps for the
engine overheating. Refer to "Engine
Overheating" P319. After that, have the
system checked by your nearest
SUBARU dealer.
Also, if the indicator light/warning light
often blinks in RED, the electrical system
may be malfunctioning. Contact your
SUBARU dealer for an inspection.
NOTEIf the engine is restarted after a certain
driving condition, this indicator light/
warning light may illuminate in RED.
However, this is not a malfunction if the indicator light/warning light turns
off after a short time.

AT OIL TEMP Warning
Light (AT 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, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place and
let the engine idle until the warning light
turns off.■
Low Tire Pressure
Warning Light (If
Equipped)
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the low tire pressure
warning light will illuminate for approxi-
mately 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 go out.
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
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi-
nates 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 TP MS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion 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 no t operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure tell-
tale. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
Should the warning light illuminate
steadily after blinking for approximately
one minute, have the system inspected by
your nearest SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
If this light does not illuminate
briefly after the ig
nition switch is
turned ON or the light illuminates
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute, you should have
your Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem checked at a SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible.

ABS Warning Light
The ABS warning light illuminates
together with the brake system warning
light if the EBD system malfunctions. For
further details of the EBD system malfunc-tion warning, refe
r to "Brake System
Warning Light" P140.
NOTEIf the warning light behavior is as
described in the following conditions,
the ABS may be considered normal.
 The warning light illuminates right
after the engine is started but turns off
immediately, remaining off.
 The warning light remains illumi-
nated after the engine has been
started, but it turns off while driving.
 The warning light illuminates during
driving, but it turns off immediately and
remains off.
When driving with an insufficient battery
voltage such as when the engine is jump
started, the ABS warn ing light may illumi-
nate. This is due to the low battery voltage
and does not indicate a malfunction.
When the battery becomes fully charged,
the light will turn off.

▼Brake fluid level warning
This light illuminates when the brake fluid
level has dropped to near the “MIN” level
of the brake fluid reservoir with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and with the
parking brake fully released.
CAUTION
 If any of the following conditions
occur, we recommend that you
have the ABS repaired at the first
available opportunity by your
SUBARU dealer.
- The warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON”
position.- The warning light illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position,
but it does no t turn off even
after starting the vehicle.- The warning light illuminates during driving.
When the warning light is on (and
brake system warning light is off),
the ABS function shuts down;
however, the conventional brake
system continues to operate
normally.
WARNING
 Driving with the brake system
warning light on is dangerous.
This indicates your brake system
may not be working properly. If
the light remains illuminated,
have the brakes inspected by a
SUBARU dealer immediately.If at all in doubt about whether the
brakes are operating properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have your
vehicle towed to the nearest

– CONTINUED –
If the brake system warning light should
illuminate while driving (with the parking
brake fully released and with the ignition
switch positioned in “ON”), it could be an
indication of leaking of brake fluid or worn
brake pads. If this occurs, immediately
stop the vehicle at the nearest safe place
and check the brake fluid level. If the fluid
level is below the “MIN” mark in the reser-
voir, do not drive the vehicle. Have the
vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU
dealer for repair.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning
If the warning light remains on even
though the parking brake is released, the
brake fluid level may be low or there could
be a problem with the EBD system. Park
the vehicle in a safe place immediately
and contact a SUBARU dealer.
▼Vacuum pressure system warning
The brake system warning light will illumi-
nate when the vacuum pressure sensor is
malfunctioning or brake booster pressure
is decreasing. If the light continues to illu-
minate for several minutes after starting
the engine, there may be a malfunction in
the vacuum system. In this case, drive the
vehicle carefully and have the system
inspected by a SUBARU dealer.

Low Fuel Warning Light
The low fuel warning light illuminates
when the tank is nearly empty approxi-
mately 1.8 US gal (7.0 liters, or 1.5 Imp
gal). It only operates when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.■
Door Open Indicator
When any of the doors or the trunk lid is
not fully closed, the door open indicator
appears. This function is effective even if
the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or “ACC”
position.
The open door is indicated by the corre-
sponding part of the door open indicator.
Always make sure this indicator does not
appear before you start to drive.■
Power Steering
Warning Light
While the engine is running, a warning
light illuminates and a buzzer sounds if a malfunction is detected in the electric
power steering system.
NOTEIf the steering wheel is operated in the
following ways, the power steering
control system may temporarily limit
the power assist in order to prevent
the system components, such as the
control computer and drive motor,
from overheating.

The steering wheel is operated
frequently and turned sharply while the
vehicle is maneuvered at extremely low
speeds, such as while frequently
turning the steering wheel during
parallel parking.
 The steering wheel remains in the
fully turned position for a long period
of time.
At this time, there will be more resis-
tance when steering. However this is
not a malfunction. Normal steering
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light illu-
minates. Engine misfires as a result
of an empty tank could cause dam-
age to the engine.

NOTE If the electrical circuit of the Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC) system itself
malfunctions, the warning light only
illuminates. At this time, the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) remains fully oper-
ational.
 The warning light illuminates when
the electronic control system of the
ABS/Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system malfunctions.
The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system is probably inoperative under any
of the following conditions. Have your
vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer
immediately.
 The warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
 The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is running.NOTEIf the warning light behavior is as
described in the following examples,
the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) sys-
tem may be considered normal.
 The warning light illuminates right
after the engine is started but turns off
immediately and remains off.
 The warning light illuminates after
the engine has started and turns off
CAUTION
The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
system provides its ABS control
through the electrica l circuit of the
ABS. Accordingly, if the ABS is
inoperative, the Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) system becomes
unable to provide ABS control. As a
result, the Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) system becomes inoperative,
causing the warning light to illumi-
nate. Although both the Vehicle Sta-
bility Control (VSC) and ABS are
inoperative in this case, the ordi-
nary functions of the brake system
are still available. You will be safe
while driving in this condition, but
drive carefully and have your vehi-
cle checked at a SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible.
