NOTEEven if the REV alarm system is not set,
the REV indicator light will flash when-
ever the engine speed enters the red
zone of the tachometer.
To change the REV indicator settings,
perform the procedures described in
“REV settings (STI)”F3-43.
Warning and indicator lightsSeveral of the warning and indicator lights
illuminate when you initially turn the igni-
tion switch to the“ON”position. This
permits checking the operation of the
bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the
ignition switch to the“ON”position. For
the system check, the following lights
illuminate and then turn off after several
seconds or after the engine has started.: Seatbelt warning light
(The seatbelt warning light turns off

!Brake fluid level warning
This 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 place
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 brake system warning light also
illuminates if a malfunction occurs in the
EBD system. In that event, it illuminates
together with the ABS warning light.
The EBD system may be malfunctioning if
the brake system warning light and ABS
warning light illuminate simultaneously
while driving.
Even if the EBD system fails, the conven-
tional braking system will still function.
However, the rear wheels will be moreprone 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 and ABS
warning light illuminate simultaneously,
take the following steps.
1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe, flat
place.
2. Shut down the engine, apply the
parking brake and then restart it.
3. Release the parking brake. If both
warning lights turn off, the EBD system
may be malfunctioning. Drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the
system inspected.
4. If both warning lights illuminate again
and remain illuminated after the engine
has been restarted, shut down the engine
again, apply the parking brake, and check
the brake fluid level.
5. 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.
6. 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.!Electronic parking brake system
warning (models with electronic
parking brake system)
The brake system warning light illuminates
when the electronic parking brake system
is malfunctioning. If the warning light
illuminates, promptly park in a safe loca-
tion as soon as possible and contact your
SUBARU dealer.
The brake system warning light remains
illuminated when the parking brake cannot
be released even if the parking brake
switch is pushed. For details, refer to
“Electronic parking brake (models with
electronic parking brake system)”F7-43.
!Frequent operation warning
The brake system warning light illuminates
and a chirp sound will be heard if the
parking brake switch is operated too
frequently. In this case, the operation of
the parking brake switch is restricted to
protect the electronic parking brake sys-
tem.
!Vacuum pump system warning (ex-
cept STI)
This light illuminates when a malfunction is
detected in the vacuum pump system.
NOTEThe vacuum pump system assists the
boost pressure when driving at high

!Parking brake apply inhibit warn-
ing
The electronic parking brake indicator light
flashes for 10 seconds and a chirp sound
will be heard if the parking brake switch is
operated when the parking brake cannot
be applied.
!Frequent operation warning
The electronic parking brake indicator light
flashes for 10 seconds and a chirp sound
will be heard if the parking brake switch is
operated too frequently. In this case, the
operation of the parking brake switch is
restricted to protect the electronic parking
brake system.
NOTEWait until the indicator light turns off.&Low fuel warning lightThe low fuel warning light illuminates when
the tank is nearly empty, at approximately
2.6 US gal (10.0 liters, 2.2 Imp gal). It only
operates when the ignition switch is in the
“ON”position.
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light
illuminates. Engine misfires as aresult of an empty tank could cause
damage to the engine.
&Hill start assist warning
light/Hill start assist
OFF indicator light
(models without electro-
nic parking brake sys-
tem)!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
inspected at an authorized SUBARU
dealer.
!Hill start assist OFF indicator light
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.
&Auto Vehicle Hold ON
indicator light (models
with electronic parking
brake system)
CAUTION
If the Auto Vehicle Hold ON indicator
light does not illuminate even when
the Auto Vehicle Hold switch is
pressed to activate the Auto Vehicle
Hold function, the electronic parking
brake system may be malfunction-
ing. Immediately stop the vehicle in
a safe location and contact your
SUBARU dealer.
This indicator light illuminates when the
Auto Vehicle Hold is activated. For details,
refer to“To turn on/off the Auto Vehicle
Hold function”F7-47.&Auto Vehicle Hold op-
eration indicator light
(models with electronic
parking brake system)This indicator light illuminates while the
vehicle is stopped by the Auto Vehicle Hold
function. For details, refer to“To operate
the Auto Vehicle Hold function”F7-48.

&Door open warning lightThe warning light illuminates if any door or
the trunk lid 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.
Always make sure this light is not illumi-
nated before you start to drive.&All-Wheel Drive warn-
ing light (if equipped)This light flashes 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
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.
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.&Power steering warning
light (except STI)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.NOTEIf the steering wheel is operated in the
following ways, the power steering
control system may temporarily limitthe 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.
.The steering wheel remains in the
fully turned position for a long period of
time.
At this time, there will be more resis-
tance when steering. However this is
not a malfunction. Normal steering
force will be restored after the steering
wheel is not operated for a while and
the power steering control system has
an opportunity to cool down. However,
if the power steering is operated in a
non-standard way which causes power
assist limitation to occur too frequently,
that may result in a malfunction of the
power steering control system.
&LED headlight warning
light (if equipped)This light illuminates if the LED headlights
malfunction. Have your vehicle inspected
at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE.You cannot lower the sensitivity of
the high beam assist function in the
following conditions.
–Cruise control or Adaptive Cruise
Control is in operation
–The EyeSight warning indicator
(yellow) is illuminated
.The sensitivity of the high beam
assist function returns to normal level
the next time the ignition switch is
turned to the“LOCK”/“OFF”position
and the engine is restarted.
!How to change the headlight
mode manually
Change to the low beam:
Return the turn signal lever to the center
position to turn off the high beam assist
function. Then the high beam assist
indicator will turn off.
Change to the high beam:
Turn the light control switch to the“
”
position to change the headlight mode to
the high beam.
At this time, the high beam assist function
will turn off, the high beam assist indicator
will turn off and the high beam indicator
light will turn on.
NOTEAfter manually selecting the high beam
mode:
.If you want to turn on the high beam
assist function, return the light control
switch to the“AUTO”position.
.Turn the light control switch to the
“
”position to turn on the instrument
panel illumination, parking lights, front
side marker lights, rear side marker
lights, tail lights and license plate
lights.
!Tips for the high beam assist
function
.The high beam assist function recog-
nizes the condition surrounding the vehicle
based on the brightness of illumination
ahead of your vehicle, etc. Therefore, the
headlight mode may switch in some
situations that do not match to the driver’s
sense.
.A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be
detected.
.Under the following situations, the high
beam assist function may not work prop-
erly. As a result, the glare of the high beam
may disturb the oncoming vehicle or
vehicle ahead. Also, the low beam mode
may continue although there are no
oncoming vehicles and vehicles ahead.In the such cases, change the headlight
mode manually.
–In bad weather (fog, snow, sand
storm, heavy rain, etc.)
–When the windshield glass is dirty,
fogged, cracked or damaged
–Whenthestereocameraisde-
formed or the stereo camera lenses
are dirty
–If there are lights similar to the
headlights or the tail lights in the
surrounding area
–When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead is driven without its head-
lights and tail lights on
–If the headlights of an oncoming
vehicle or the tail lights of a vehicle
ahead are dirty or discolored, or if the
light beams are not aimed correctly
–When a rapid change of brightness
continues while driving
–When driving on a road with many
ups and downs, uneven surfaces or
curves
–When there are some objects that
reflect light strongly, such as a road
sign or a mirror in vehicle ahead
–When the rear part of the vehicle
ahead, such as a container, reflects
light strongly
–When the headlights of your vehicle
are damaged or dirty

Pull the switch rearward to reduce the
initial LSD torque. When the lowest posi-
tion of the driver’s control center differen-
tial indicator is displayed, the initial LSD
torque will be minimum.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the control switch
when a wheel slippage occurs.
Wait until the wheelspin has been
brought under control.
.Under any of the following condi-
tions after setting to the manual
mode, pull the center differential
control switch to minimize the
initial LSD torque:
–When a temporary spare tire is
installed–When your vehicle is towed
–When the vehicle is stopped
with the manual mode se-
lected
NOTE.A higher initial LSD torque setting
gives the vehicle greater traction when
driving straight ahead but makes cor-
nering more difficult. Remember this
when adjusting the initial LSD torque.
In general, higher initial LSD torque
settings assist driving on slippery
roads and lower settings for non-slip-
pery roads. When the vehicle is stuck in
snow or mud, setting the initial LSD
torque to the maximum will help to free
the vehicle.
.The setting of the initial LSD torque
will remain even when the auto mode is
selected or the ignition switch is turned
to the“LOCK”/“OFF”position. How-
ever, the initial LSD torque will be
minimized when the battery is discon-
nected and reconnected.
.During cornering or when making
turns (especially when going into the
garage), the rotational difference be-
tween the front and rear wheels may
cause a braking effect accompanied by
vibration and noise. This does notindicate a problem. The phenomenon
will disappear when setting the initial
LSD torque to the minimum.
In the auto mode, it controls the initial
LSD torque automatically. While in the
auto mode, this phenomenon some-
times occurs depending on the driving
condition, however, it does not indicate
a problem.
.Use the center differential indicator
only as a rough indication of the initial
LSD torque.
.If you operate the center differential
control switch while quickly accelerat-
ing or turning a tight corner, you may
feel slight shocks. This is due to
differential action by the center differ-
ential and does not indicate a problem.
&Temporary releaseWhen the driver stops the vehicle and pulls
the parking brake lever after manually
setting the initial LSD torque, the LSD
torque is temporarily minimized. However
the indicator on the combination meter
continues to show the driver’s selected
initial LSD torque. When the driver re-
leases the parking brake lever, the initial
LSD torque set by the driver is restored.

!N (Neutral)
This position is for restarting a stalled
engine. In this position, the transmission is
neutral, meaning that the wheels and
transmission are not locked. Therefore,
the vehicle will roll freely, even on the
slightest incline unless the parking brake
or foot brake is applied.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
select lever in the“N”(neutral)
position. Engine braking has no
effect in this condition and the risk
of an accident is consequently in-
creased.NOTEIf the select lever is in the“N”position
when you stop the engine for parking,
you may not subsequently be able to
move it to the“R”and“P”positions. If
this happens, turn the ignition switch to
the“ON”position. You will then be able
to move the select lever to the“P”
position.!D (Drive)
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically and con-
tinuously into a suitable gear according to
the vehicle speed and the acceleration you
require. Also, while driving up and down a
hill, the transmission assists and controls
the driving performance and engine brak-
ing while corresponding to the road grade.
When more acceleration is required in the
“D”position, depress the accelerator pedal
fully to the floor and hold that position. The
transmission will automatically downshift.
If the Intelligent (I) mode or the Sport (S)
mode has been selected, the transmission
will operate like a conventional automatic
transmission. When you release the pedal,
the transmission will return to the original
gear position.
If you operate one of the shift paddles
behind the steering wheel while driving in
the“D”position, the transmission will
temporarily switch to the manual mode.
In this mode, you can shift into any gear
position using the shift paddles. For details
about the manual mode, refer to“Selection
of manual mode”F7-25. Once the vehicle
speed stabilizes, the transmission will
switch from the manual mode back to the
“D”position for normal driving.
&Selection of manual modeWith the vehicle either moving or station-
ary, move the select lever from the“D”
position to the“M”position to select the
manual mode.
