3-17 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 engine oil level. If the oil level is low, add oil immediately. If the engine oil is at the proper level but the light remains illuminated, contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.
& Engine low oil level warning indicator
This indicator appears when the engine oil level decreases to the lower limit.
If the engine low oil level warning indicator appears while driving, park the vehicle at 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” F11- 11.
If the warning indicator does not disappear after refilling with engine oil or the warning indicator appears even though the engine oil level is within the normal range, have the system checked by a SUBARU dealer.
NOTE
. After replacing or adding the engine oil, if the engine oil level is within the normal range when restarting the engine on a level surface, the warning indicator will be off.. The warning indicator may appear 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 continuously accelerated and decelerated – when the vehicle is continuously turned – when the vehicle is driven on a road that alternates continuously between uphill and downhill
& AT OIL TEMP warning light( CVT models)
If this light illuminates when the engine is running, it may indicate that the transmission fluid temperature is too hot.
If the light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and let the engine idle until the warning light turns off.
! Transmission control system warning
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.
& Low tire pressure warning light( U. S. spec. models)
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ ON” position, the low tire pressure warning 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 go out.
Each tire, including the spare( if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure 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-
