Warning and indicator
SUBARU dealer immediately.
For details about checking the engine oil
level or adding the engine oil, refer to
“Engine oil” FP452.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
oil pressure warning light illumi-
nated. This may cause serious en-
gine damage.
& Engine low oil level
warning light
S03AE58
This light illuminates when the engine oil
level decreases to the lower limit.
If the engine low oil level warning light
illuminates while driving, park the vehicle
in a safe and level location, and then check
the engine oil level. When the engine oil
level is not within the normal range, refill
with engine oil. Refer to “Engine oil”
FP452.
If the warning light does not turn off after
refilling the engine oil, or the warning light
illuminates even though the engine oil
level is within the normal range, have the
vehicle checked by a SUBARU dealer.
NOTE
. The warning light may stay illumi-
nated when the engine is started
straight after topping up or changing
the engine oil. In such cases, park the
vehicle on a level surface and wait for
more than a minute until the oil level
settles, after which the warning light
will turn off.
. The engine low oil level warning light
will not turn off immediately even if you
replace or add engine oil. It will turn off
after the vehicle starts to move. De-
pending on the driving conditions and
environment where the vehicle is dri-
ven, it may take a period of approxi-
mately 10 minutes for the light to turn
off. If the light has still not turned off
after 15 minutes have elapsed, we
recommend that you contact your
SUBARU dealer.
. The warning light may illuminate
temporarily in the following conditions
because a low oil level may be detected
as a result of significant oil movement
in the engine.
– When the vehicle is considerably
inclined on an uphill or steep slope.
– When the vehicle has continu-
ously accelerated and decelerated.
– When the vehicle is continuously
turned.
– When the vehicle is driven on a
road that alternates continuously
between uphill and downhill.
& Windshield washer
fluid warning light
S03AE42
This light illuminates when the fluid level in
the windshield washer fluid tank de-
creases to the lower limit (approximately
0.6 US qt, 0.6 liter, 0.5 Imp qt).
& AT OIL TEMP warning
light
S03AE07
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.
! Transmission control system warn-
ing
S03AE0701
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.
