&SRS airbag system
warning light
WARNING
If the warning light exhibits any of
the following conditions, there may
be a malfunction in the seatbelt
pretensioners and/or SRS airbag
system. Immediately take your vehi-
cle to your nearest SUBARU dealer
to have the system checked. Unless
checked and properly repaired, the
seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS
airbag will not operate properly in
the event of a collision, which may
increase the risk of injury.
.Flashing or flickering of the warn-
ing light
.No illumination of the warning
light when the ignition switch is
first turned to the“ON”position
.Continuous illumination of the
warning light
.Illumination of the warning light

: Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON
indicator: Front passenger’s frontal airbag OFF
indicator
The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON
and OFF indicators show you the status of
the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag.
The indicator is displayed near the map
lights.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”position, both the ON and OFF
indicators illuminate for 6 seconds during
which time the system is checked. Follow-
ing the system check, both indicators turn
off for 2 seconds. After that, one of the
indicators illuminates depending on the
status of the front passenger’s SRS frontalairbag determined by the SUBARU ad-
vanced frontal airbag system monitoring.
If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
is activated, the passenger’s frontal airbag
ON indicator will illuminate while the OFF
indicator will remain off.
If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
is deactivated, the passenger’s frontal
airbag ON indicator will remain off while
the OFF indicator will illuminate.
With the ignition switch turned to the“ON”
position, if both the ON and OFF indicators
remain illuminated or off simultaneously
even after the system check period, the
system is malfunctioning. Contact your
SUBARU dealer immediately for an in-
spection.

&Brake system
warning light (red)This light illuminates with the parking
brake applied while the ignition switch is
in the“ON”position. It turns off when the
parking brake is fully released.
WARNING
.Driving with the brake system
warning light on is dangerous.
This indicates your brake system
may not be working properly. If
the light remains illuminated,
have the brakes inspected by a
SUBARU dealer immediately.
.If at all in doubt about whether the
brakes are operating properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have your
vehicle towed to the nearest
SUBARU dealer for repair.
The brake system warning light has the
following functions.
!Brake fluid level warningThis light illuminates when the brake fluid
level has dropped to near the“MIN”level of
the brake fluid reservoir with the ignition
switch in the“ON”position and with the
parking brake fully released.If the brake system warning light should
illuminate while driving (with the parking
brake fully released and with the ignition
switch positioned in“ON”), it could be an
indication of leaking of brake fluid or worn
brake pads. If this occurs, immediately
stop the vehicle at the nearest safe
location and check the brake fluid level. If
the fluid level is below the“MIN”mark in
the reservoir, do not drive the vehicle.
Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
SUBARU dealer for repair.
!Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning
The EBD system may be malfunctioning if
the brake system warning light
/
,
Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light
and ABS warning light
/
illuminate
simultaneously during driving.
Even if the EBD system fails, the conven-
tional braking system will still function.
However, the rear wheels will be more
prone to locking when the brakes are
applied harder than usual and the vehicle’s
motion may therefore become somewhat
harder to control.
If the brake system warning light
/
,
Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light
and ABS warning light
/
illuminate
simultaneously, take the following steps.
1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe, flatlocation.
2. Shut down the engine, apply the
parking brake and then restart it.
3. Fully release the parking brake.
4. Even if all the warning lights do not
come back on, the EBD system may have
a possible malfunction. Drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the
system inspected.
5. If all the warning lights stay illuminated
or come back on after approximately 2
seconds, shut down the engine, apply the
parking brake and check the brake fluid
level.
.If the brake fluid level is not below the
“MIN”mark, the EBD system may be
malfunctioning. Drive carefully to the
nearest SUBARU dealer and have the
system inspected.
.If the brake fluid level is below the“MIN”
mark, DO NOT drive the vehicle. Instead,
have the vehicle towed to the nearest
SUBARU dealer for repair.
!Vacuum pressure system warning
The brake system warning light
/
will
illuminate when the vacuum pressure
sensor is malfunctioning or brake booster
pressure is decreasing.
If the brake warning light continues to
illuminate for several minutes after starting

vehicle carefully and have the system
inspected by a SUBARU dealer.&Low fuel warning lightThe low fuel warning light illuminates when
the tank is nearly empty, at approximately
2.5 US gal (9.5 liters, 2.1 Imp gal). It only
operates when the ignition switch is in the
“ON”position.

ever the low fuel warning light

OFF indicator light!Hill start assist warning light
While the engine is running, if there are
any malfunctions in the Hill start assist
system, the warning light will illuminate.
WARNING
When the Hill start assist warning
light illuminates, have the vehicle

While the Hill start assist system is
deactivated, the Hill start assist OFF
indicator light illuminates continuously to
inform the driver that the Hill start assist
system is not operational.&Door open warning lightThe warning light illuminates if any door or
the rear gate 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.
For some models, only the open doors are
indicated by the warning lights.
Always make sure this light is not illumi-
nated before you start to drive.
&All-Wheel Drive warn-
ing light (CVT models)This light blinks if the vehicle is driven with
tires of differing diameters fitted on the
wheels or with an excessively low air
pressure in any of the tires.
WARNING
If the AWD warning light flashes,
promptly park in a safe location 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.
Continuing to drive with the AWD
warning light flashing can lead to
powertrain damage.NOTEIf 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.
