Warning and Indicator Lights 185
& Low Fuel Warning Light s03ae11
The low fuel warning light illuminates when
the tank is nearly empty approximately 2.6
US gal (10.0 liters, or 2.2 Imp gal). It only
operates when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank whenever
the low fuel warning light
illuminates. Engine misfires as a
result of an empty tank could cause
damage to the engine.
& Door Open Indicator
s03ae61
When any of the doors, the rear gate
(Outback) or the trunk lid (Legacy) is not
fully closed, the door open indicator
appears. This function is effective even if
the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF”
or “ACC” position or the key is removed
from the ignition switch (models without
“keyless access with push-button start
system”).
The open door is indicated by the corresponding
part of the door open indicator.
Always make sure this indicator does not
appear before you start to drive.
& Engine Hood Open
Warning Light
s03ae98
The warning light illuminates if the engine
hood is not fully closed. This function is
effective even if the ignition switch is in the
“LOCK”/“OFF” or “ACC” position, or the
key is removed from the ignition switch
(models without “keyless access with
push-button start system”).
Always make sure this light is not illuminated
before you start to drive.
& Windshield Washer
Fluid Warning Light
s03ae42
This light appears when the fluid level in
the windshield washer fluid tank decreases
to the lower limit (approximately
0.6 US qt, 0.6 liter, 0.5 Imp qt).
& All-Wheel Drive Warning
Light
WARNING
s03ae13
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.
