Consult your authorized SUBARU dealer for repair.

Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt warning device at the driver’s and front passenger’s seat, as required by current safety standards.

With the ignition switch turned to the “ON” position, this device reminds the driver and front passenger to fasten their seatbelts by illuminating the warning lights in the loca- tions indicated in the following illustration and sounding a chime.

Driver’s warning light

Front passenger’s warning light

! Operation

If the driver and/or front passenger have/ has not yet fastened the seatbelt(s) when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the seatbelt warning light(s) will illuminate for several seconds, to warn that the seatbelt(s) is/are unfastened. If the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened, a chime will also sound simultaneously.

If the driver’s and/or front passen- ger’s seatbelt(s) are/is still not fastened several seconds later, the seatbelt warning device operates as follows according to the vehicle speed.

At speeds lower than approxi- mately 9 mph (15 km/h)

The warning light(s) for unfastened seatbelt(s) will alternate between steady illumination and flashing at 15-second intervals. The chime will not sound.

At speeds higher than approxi- mately 9 mph (15 km/h)

The warning light(s) for unfastened seatbelt(s) will alternate between flashing and steady illumination at 15-second intervals and the chime will sound while the warning light(s) is/are flashing.

It is possible to cancel the warning operation that follows the short warn- ing after turning ON the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned ON next time, however, the complete se- quence of the warning operation re- sumes. For further details about can- celing the warning operation, please contact your SUBARU dealer.

If there is no passenger on the front passenger’s seat, the seatbelt warning device for the front passenger’s seat will be deactivated. The front passenger’s occupant detection system monitors whether or not there is a passenger on the front passenger’s seat.

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the device from functioning correctly or cause the device to fail.

Do not install any accessory such as a table or TV onto the seatback.

Do not store a heavy load in the seatback pocket.

Do not allow the rear seat occupant to place his/her hands or legs on the front passenger’s seatback, or allow him/her to pull the seatback.

Do not use front seats with their back- ward-forward position and seatback not being locked into place securely. If any of

them are not locked securely, adjust them again. For adjusting procedure, refer to “Manual seat”  1-5.

If the seatbelt warning device for the front passenger’s seat does not function cor- rectly (e.g., it is activated even when the front passenger’s seat is empty or it is deactivated even when the front passen- ger has not fastened his/her seatbelt), take the following actions.

Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than a child restraint system and its child occupant, although we strongly recommend that all children sit in the rear seat properly restrained.

Ensure that there is no article left in the seatback pocket.

Ensure that the backward-forward po- sition and seatback of front passenger’s seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back and forth.

If still the seatbelt warning device for front passenger’s seat does not function cor- rectly after taking relevant corrective ac- tions described above, immediately con- tact your SUBARU dealer for an inspec- tion.

SRS airbag system warning light

For details about the components mon- itored by the warning light, refer to “SRS airbag system monitors”  1-68.

Front passenger’s frontal air- bag ON and OFF indicators

ON : Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator

: Front passenger’s frontal airbag OFF indicator

The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag.

The indicator is displayed near the map lights.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, both the ON and OFF indicators illuminate for 6 seconds during which time the system is checked. Follow- ing the system check, both indicators turn off for 2 seconds. After that, one of the indicators illuminates depending on the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal

airbag determined by the SUBARU ad- vanced frontal airbag system monitoring. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated, the passenger’s frontal airbag

ON indicator will illuminate while the OFF indicator will remain off.

If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is deactivated, the passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator will remain off while the OFF indicator will illuminate.

With the ignition switch turned to the “ON” position, if both the ON and OFF indicators remain illuminated or off simultaneously even after the system check period, the system is malfunctioning. Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately for an in- spection.

CHECK ENGINE warn-

ing light/Malfunction indicator light

If this light illuminates steadily or blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that there is at least one problem or potential problem somewhere in the emis- sion control system.

If the light illuminates steadily while driving or does not turn off after the engine starts, an emission control system malfunction has been detected.

You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized SUBARU dealer immedi- ately.

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 turn off immediately. It may take several driving trips. If the light does not turn off, take your vehicle to your author-

ized SUBARU dealer immediately.

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.

Coolant temperature low indicator light/ Coolant temperature high warning light

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 overheat- ing condition of the engine

For a system check, this indicator light/ warning light illuminates in RED for ap- proximately 2 seconds when the ignition 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 in- creases 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 in- creases further, the indicator light/warning light illuminates in RED continuously. 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 to take in the case of engine overheating. Refer to “Engine overheating”  9-14. 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.

Charge warning light If 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 light

If 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 contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.

Engine low oil level warning light

This light illuminates when the engine oil level decreases to the lower limit.

If the warning light illuminates, check the engine oil level on a level surface. When the engine oil level is not within the normal range, refill with engine oil. Refer to “Engine oil”  11-8. After adding or chan- ging the engine oil, warm up the engine and stop it on a level surface, then start the engine after a lapse of 1 minute or more. Confirm that the warning light have turned off after the engine has started. If the warning light does not turn off after refilling the engine oil, or the light illuminates even though the engine oil level is within the normal range, have the vehicle checked by a SUBARU dealer.

The oil level will be detected by the system just after turning the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the oil

level is below the lower limit when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the engine low oil level warn- ing light will turn on.

When the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, the engine low oil level warning light may not illuminate even if the oil level is below the lower limit to avoid the erroneous lighting.

Windshield washer fluid warning light

This light illuminates when the fluid level in the windshield washer fluid tank de- creases to the lower limit (approximately

US qt, 0.6 liter, 0.5 Imp qt).

AT OIL TEMP warning light (CVT 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, im- mediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and let the engine idle until the warning light turns off.

If the “AT OIL TEMP” warning light flashes after the engine has started, it may indicate that the transmission control system is not working properly. Contact your nearest SUBARU dealer for service immediately.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the low tire pressure warn- ing light will illuminate for approximately 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 turn off.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom- mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres- sure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure 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 illuminates

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 TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation 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 not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is com- bined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, 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 mal- function indicator is illuminated, the sys- tem may not be able to detect or signal low

tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc- tions 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 prop- erly. 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 min- ute, have the system inspected by your nearest SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.

The ABS warning light illuminates together with the brake system warning light if the EBD system malfunctions. For further details of the EBD system malfunction warning, refer to “Electronic Brake Force

Distribution (EBD) system warning”  3- 21.

The warning light illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and turns off approximately 2 seconds after the engine has started.

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 warning 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.

This light illuminates with the parking brake applied while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. It turns off when the parking brake is fully released.

The brake system warning light has the following functions.

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.

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 location and check the brake fluid level. If the fluid level is below the “MIN” mark in the reservoir, do not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU dealer for repair.

The EBD system may be malfunctioning if the brake system warning light / , Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light and ABS warning light / illuminate simultaneously during driving.

Even if the EBD system fails, the conven- tional braking system will still function. However, the rear wheels will be more prone to locking when the brakes are applied harder than usual and the vehicle’s motion may therefore become somewhat harder to control.

If the brake system warning light / , Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light and ABS warning light / illuminate simultaneously, take the following steps.

Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe, flat

location.

Shut down the engine, apply the parking brake and then restart it.

Fully release the parking brake.

Even if all the warning lights do not come back on, the EBD system may have a possible malfunction. Drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected.

If all the warning lights stay illuminated or come back on after approximately 2 seconds, shut down the engine, apply the parking brake and check the brake fluid level.

If the brake fluid level is not below the “MIN” mark, the EBD system may be malfunctioning. Drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected.

If the brake fluid level is below the “MIN” mark, DO NOT drive the vehicle. Instead, have the vehicle towed to the nearest SUBARU dealer for repair.

The brake system warning light / will illuminate when the vacuum pressure sensor is malfunctioning or brake booster pressure is decreasing.

If the brake warning light continues to illuminate 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, at approximately 2 US gal (7.5 liters, 1.65 Imp gal). It only operates when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

Hill start assist warning light/Hill

start assist OFF indi- cator light

While the engine is running, if there are any malfunctions in the Hill start assist system, the warning light will illuminate.

While the Hill start assist system is deactivated, the Hill start assist OFF indicator light illuminates continuously to inform the driver that the Hill start assist system is not operational.

The warning light illuminates if any door, the rear gate (5-door models) or the trunk lid (sedan) is not fully closed. This function is effective even if the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF” or “ACC” position, or the key is removed from the ignition switch.

For some models, the open door is indicated by the corresponding part of the door open indicator.

Always make sure this light is not illumi- nated before you start to drive.

This light blinks if the vehicle is driven with tires of differing diameters fitted on the wheels or with an excessively low air pressure in any of the tires.

Power steering warning light

While the engine is running, this warning light illuminates when a malfunction has been detected in the electric power steer- ing system.

The steering wheel is operated fre- quently and turned sharply while the vehicle is maneuvered at extremely low speeds, such as while frequently turn- ing 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 force 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 malfunction of the power steering control system.

Vehicle Dynamics Con- trol warning light/Vehi- cle Dynamics Control operation indicator light

! Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light

NOTE

If the electrical circuit of the Vehicle Dynamics Control system itself mal- functions, the warning light only illumi- nates. At this time, the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) remains fully opera- tional.

The warning light illuminates when the electronic control system of the ABS/Vehicle Dynamics Control system malfunctions.

The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is probably inoperative under any of the following conditions. Have your vehicle

checked at a SUBARU dealer immedi- ately.

The warning light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.

The warning light illuminates during driving, but it turns off immediately and remains off.

The warning light illuminates when the engine has stalled and continues to illuminate after the engine has been restarted. However, it will turn off once the vehicle starts moving.

! Vehicle Dynamics Control operation indicator light

The indicator light flashes during activation of the skid suppression function and during activation of the traction control function.

The light may remain illuminated for a short period of time after the engine has been started, especially in cold weather. This does not indicate the existence of a problem. The light should turn off as soon as the engine has warmed up.

The indicator light illuminates when the engine has developed a problem and the CHECK ENGINE warning light/ malfunction indicator light is on.

The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is probably malfunctioning under the follow- ing condition. Have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.

The light does not turn off even after the lapse of several minutes (the engine has warmed up) after the engine has started.

The light illuminates when the Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch is pressed to deactivate the Vehicle Dynamics Con- trol system.

The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is probably malfunctioning under any of the following conditions. Have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer immedi- ately.

The light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.

The light does not turn off even once several seconds have elapsed after the ignition switch has been turned to the “ON” position.

Access key warning indicator

The warning chime and the access key warning light serve the following purposes:

To minimize improper operation of the keyless access with push-button start system.

To protect your vehicle from theft.

When the warning chime sounds and/or the warning indicator flashes, take the appropriate action.

When doors are not locked because the access key fob is left inside the trunk, you cannot open the trunk lid by pushing the trunk opener button on the trunk lid. Pull the trunk lid release lever upward to open the trunk lid. Refer to “To open the trunk lid from inside”  2- 34.

Do not leave the access key fob inside the trunk. Depending on the status of the access key fob and situation, the trunk lockout protect function may not operate. Make sure that you carry the access key fob, and close the trunk lid.

Even when the access key fob is within the operating ranges inside the vehicle, the access key warning for engine start may be provided depend- ing on the status of the access key fob and the environmental conditions.

When the access key fob is taken out of the vehicle through an open window, the access key fob takeout warning or passenger access key fob takeout warning will not be provided.
