Instruments and Controls3
– CONTINUED –
NOTEWhen the control dial is turned fully
upward, the illumination brightness
becomes the maximum and the auto-
matic dimming function does not work
at all.
The brightness setting is not
canceled even when the ignition switch
is turned to th e “OFF” position.■Auto Dimmer Cancel Func -
tionWhen the ambient light is bright, the illumi-
nation brightness is set to the maximum
regardless of the position of the control
dial. In this case, you cannot adjust the
illumination brightness by using the
control dial. When the ambient light is
dark, you can dim the illumination bright-
ness as described above.
The operational/non-operational setting
and sensitivity of the auto dimmer cancel
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 seatbelt
warning 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.)
: Rear passenger’s seatbelt warning
light (The seatbelt warning light turns
off only when the rear seat
passenger fastens the seatbelt.)
: SRS airbag system warning light
: Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON
indicator light
: Front passenger’s frontal airbag OFF
indicator light
/ : CHECK ENGINE warning light/ Malfunction indicator light : Coolant temperature high warning
light (red)
: Charge warning light : Oil pressure warning light
/ :ABS warning light
: Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
warning light/Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC) operation indicator
light
: Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) OFF
indicator light
: TRAC OFF indicator light / :Brake system warning light (red)
:Power steering warning light
: Low tire pressure warning light (if
equipped)
: Low fuel warning light :Master warning light
If any lights fail to i lluminate, it indicates a
burned-out bulb or a malfunction of the
corresponding system.
Consult your authorized SUBARU dealer
for repair.
■ Seatbelt Warning Light
and ChimeYour vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt
warning device at the driver’s and
passenger’s seats, as required by current

Warning and Indicator Lights
140■ABS Warning LightThe 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 LightThis 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 warningThis 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 (Anti-Lock Brake
System) repaired at the first avail-
able 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.

Warning and Indicator Lights
142force will be restored after the steering
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
LightThis light illuminates when the TRAC
system is off. For detai ls, refer to "Vehicle
Stability Control ( VSC)/TRAC System"
P247.
■ Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC)
Warning Light/Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC) Oper -
ation Indicator Light▼ Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
warning light
NOTEIf 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.
