Warning and indicator lights
checking tire pressure. The tire pressure should be checked periodically( at least monthly) using a tire gauge. After any change to tire pressure( s), the tire pressure monitoring system will not re-check tire inflation pressures until the vehicle is first driven more than 20 mph( 32 km / h). After adjusting the tire pressures, increase the vehicle speed to at least 20 mph( 32 km / h) to start the TPMS re-checking of the tire inflation pressures. If the tire pressures are now above the severe low pressure threshold, the low tire pressure 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 CAUTION
S03AE09
. 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 not turn off even after the vehicle is started.
– The warning light illuminates during driving.
. When the warning light is on( and the brake system warning light is off), the ABS function shuts down. However, the conventional brake system continues to operate normally.
The ABS warning light, Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light, and brake system warning light illuminate simultaneously if the EBD system malfunctions. For further details of the EBD system malfunction warning, refer to“ Electronic Brake Force Distribution( EBD) system warning” FP179.
NOTE
If the warning light behavior is as described in the following conditions, the ABS may be considered normal.
. 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 illuminated 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 illuminate. 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
S03AE10
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.
WARNING
