several driving trips. You should have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
SUBARU dealer immediately.

& Charge warning light
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the charging
system 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 alternator belt. If the belt is
loose, broken or if the belt is in good
condition but the light remains illuminated,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
immediately.

& Oil pressure warning
light

If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the engine oil
pressure is low and the lubricating system
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.

For details about checking the engine oil
level or adding the engine oil, refer to
“Engine oil” F11-12.

CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
oil pressure warning light illuminated. This may cause serious engine damage.

& Engine low oil level

warning indicator (except STI)

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 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” F1112.
If the warning indicator does not disappear
after refilling the engine oil, or the warning
indicator appears even though the engine
oil level is within the normal range, have
the vehicle checked by a SUBARU dealer.

. 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

as a result of significant oil movement
in the engine.

inclined on an uphill or steep slope
– when the vehicle has continuously accelerated and decelerated
– when the vehicle is continuously
turned

road that alternates continuously
