function can be changed by your
SUBARU dealer. Contact your SUBARU
dealer for details.
3-6. Warning and Indicator LightsSeveral of the warning and indicator lights
illuminate momentarily and then go out
when the ignition switch is initially turned
to the “ON” position. This permits
checking the operation of the bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the igni-
tion switch to the “ON” position. For the
system check, the following lights illumi-
nate and turn off after several seconds or
after the engine has started:
: Seatbelt warning light (The seatbeltwarning light turns off only when the
driver fastens the seatbelt.)
: Front passenger’s seatbelt warning light (The seatbelt warning light turns
off only when the front seat passenger
fastens the seatbelt.)

If this light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly. Instead, per-
form the following procedure. Oth-
erwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.1) Keep driving straight ahead whilegradually reducing speed.2) Slowly pull off the road to a safeplace.If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may have significant
damage and a fast leak that causes
the tire to lose air rapidly. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the Low tire pres-
sure warning light will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble for tire and sensor replacement
and/or system resetting. If the light
illuminates steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute,
promptly contact a SUBARU dealer
to have the system inspected.
CAUTION
The tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem is NOT a substitute for manu-
ally checking tire pressure. The tire
pressure should be checked period-
ically (at least monthly) using a tire
gauge. After any change to tire
pressure(s), the tire pressure moni-
toring system will not re-check tire
inflation pressures until the vehicle
is first driven mo re than 25 mph (40
km/h). After adjusting the tire pres-
sures, increase the vehicle speed to
at least 25 mph (40 km/h) to start the
TPMS re-checking of the tire infla-
tion pressures. If the tire pressures
are now above the severe low pres-
sure threshold, the low tire pres-
sure warning light should turn off a
few minutes later. Therefore, be
sure to install the specified size for
the front and rear tires.

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 System
Warning Light
This light has the following functions.
▼
Parking brake warning
The light illuminates with the parking
brake applied while the ignition switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” position. It turns off
when the parking brake is fully released.
▼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
SUBARU dealer for repair.

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.

wheel is not operated for a while and
the power steering control system has
an opportunity to cool down. However,
if the power steering is operated in a
non-standard way which causes
power assist limitation to occur too
frequently, that may result in a mal-
function of the power steering control
system.■
TRAC OFF Indicator
Light
This light illuminates when the TRAC
system is off. For details, refer to "Vehicle
Stability Control ( VSC)/TRAC System"

ation Indicator Light
▼
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
warning light
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.
