Warning and Indicator Lights
141
Instruments and Controls3
– 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.
CAUTION
When the power steering warning
light is illuminated, there may be
more resistance when the steering
wheel is operated. Drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and
have the vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.

7-2. State Emission Testing (U.S. Only)California and a number of federal states
have Inspection/Maintenance programs
to inspect your vehicle’s emission control
system. If your vehicle does not pass this
test, some states may deny renewal of
your vehicle’s registration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a computer
that monitors the performance of the
engine’s emission control system. Certi-
fied emission inspectors will inspect the
On-Board Diagnostic (OBDII) system as
part of the state emission inspection
process. The OBDII system is designed to
detect engine and transmission problems
that might cause the vehicle emissions to
exceed allowable limits. OBDII inspec-
tions apply to all 1996 model year and
newer passenger cars and trucks. Over
30 states plus the District of Columbia

Immediately put fuel in the tank
whenever the low fuel warning
light illuminates. Engine misfires
as a result of an empty tank could
cause damage to the engine.
Continuing to operate your
vehicle at an extremely low fuel
level may result in a reduction of
engine performance.

Preparing to Drive
228have implemented emission inspection of
the OBDII system.
The inspection of the OBDII system
consists of a visual operational check of
the “ CHECK ENGINE ” warning light/
malfunction indicator light (MIL) and an
examination of the OBDII system with an
electronic scan tool.
 A vehicle passes
the OBDII system
inspection if proper operation of the
“ CHECK ENGINE ” warning light is
observed, there are no stored diagnostic
trouble codes, and the OBDII readiness
monitors are all complete.
 A vehicle fails
the OBDII inspection if
the “ CHECK ENGINE ” warning light is not
properly operating (light is illuminated or is
not working due to a burned out bulb) or
there is one or more diagnostic trouble
codes stored in the vehicle’s computer.
 A state emission inspection may reject
(not pass or fail) a vehicle if the number of
OBDII system readiness monitors “ NOT
READY ” is greater than one. If the
vehicle’s battery has been recently
replaced or disconnected, the OBDII
system inspection may indicate that the
vehicle is not ready for the emission test.
Under this condition, the vehicle driver
should be instructed to drive his/her
vehicle for a few days to reset the readi-
ness monitors and return for an emission
re-inspection. 
Owners of rejected or failing vehicles
should contact their SUBARU Dealer for
service.
7-3. Preparing to DriveYou should perform the following checks
and adjustments every day before you
start driving.
1. Check that all windows, mirrors, and
lights are clean and unobstructed.
2. Check the appearance and condition
of the tires. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
3. Look under the vehicle for any sign of
leaks.
4. Check that no small animals enter the
engine compartment.
5. Check that the hood and trunk are fully
closed.
6. Check the adjustment of the seat.
7. Check the adjustment of the inside
and outside mirrors.
8. Fasten your seatbelt. Check that your
passengers have fastened their seatbelts.
9. Check the operation of the warning
and indicator lights when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position.
10. Check the gauges, indicator and
warning lights after starting the engine.

Catalytic Converter
291
Driving Tips8
NOTEDue to the expansion and contraction
of the metals used in the manufacture
of the exhaust system, you may hear a
crackling sound coming from the
exhaust system for a short time after
the engine has been shut off. This
sound is normal.
8-4. Catalytic ConverterThe catalytic converter is installed in the
exhaust system. It serves as catalyst to
reduce HC, CO and NOx in exhaust
gases, thus providing cleaner exhaust. To avoid damage to the catalytic
converter:

Use only unleaded gasoline. Even a
small amount of leaded gasoline will
damage the catalytic converter.
 Never start the engine by pushing or
pulling the vehicle.
 Avoid racing the engine.
 Never turn off the ig nition switch while
the vehicle is moving.
 Keep your engine tuned-up. If you feel
the engine running rough (misfiring, back-
firing or incomplete combustion), have
your vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized SUBARU dealer.
 Do not apply undercoating or rust
prevention treatment to the heat shield of
catalytic converter and the exhaust
system.
 Do not drive with an extremely low fuel
level.
 If at any time you suspect that
exhaust fumes are entering the
vehicle, have the problem
checked and corrected as soon
as possible. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive
only with all windows fully open.Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving to prevent exhaust gas
from entering the vehicle.
WARNING
Avoid fire hazards. Do not drive
or park the vehicle anywhere near
flammable materi als (e.g. grass,
paper, rags or leaves), because
the catalytic converter operates
at very high temperatures. Keep everyone and flammable
materials away from the exhaust
pipe while the engine is running.
The exhaust gas is very hot.
