Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured: �P. 628 If none of the tires are punctured: Turn the power switch off then turn it to ON. Check if the tire pressure
warning light comes on or blinks.
� If the tire pressure warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Have the vehicle inspected by your SUB-
ARU dealer immediately.
� If the tire pressure warning light comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the inflation pressure of each tire
and adjust them to the specified level.
2 If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes
have elapsed, check that the inflation pressure of each tire is at the specified level and perform
the tire inflation pressure setting procedure.( �P. 577)
If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have elapsed since performing the tire
inflation pressure setting procedure, have the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible.
■ The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes( vehicle with the tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks and tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light( after a few minutes).

WARNING
■ If both the ABS and the brake
system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact your
SUBARU dealer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

When the light comes on red, the assist to the power steering is lost and handling operations of the steering wheel become extremely heavy. When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.

the tire pressure warning system)
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a
