Instruments and controls/Warning and indicator lights without “keyless access with push-button start system”). The open door is indicated by the corre- sponding part of the door open indicator. Always make sure this indicator does not appear before you start to drive. & Windshield washer fluid warning indicator S03AE42 This indicator appears 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). & All-Wheel Drive warn- ing light S03AE13 WARNING Continued driving with the AWD warning light flashing can lead to powertrain damage. If the AWD warning light flashes, promptly park in a safe location and then check whether all four tires are the same diameter and whether any of the tires has a puncture or has lost air pressure for some other reason. NOTE If the temporary spare tire is used, the AWD warning light may flash. Use of the temporary spare tire should therefore be restricted to the minimum time necessary. Replace the temporary spare tire with a conventional tire as soon as possible. This light flashes if the vehicle is driven with tires of different diameters fitted on its wheels or with the air pressure excessively low in any of its tires. & Power steering warning light 3-23 S03AE53 While the engine is running, this warning light illuminates when a malfunction has been detected in the electric power steer- ing system. CAUTION When the power steering warning light is illuminated, there may be more resistance when the steering wheel is operated. Drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected immedi- ately. NOTE If the steering wheel is operated in the following ways, the power steering control system may temporarily limit the power assist in order to prevent the system components, such as the con- trol computer and drive motor, from overheating. . 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. – CONTINUED –
