passenger’s warning light will illuminate,

then it will blink for several seconds. If the

seatbelt of the driver’s seat is not fastened,

the warning chime may make a peep

sound.

NOTE

. If the driver’s and/or front passen-

ger’s seatbelt(s) are/is not fastened

while driving, the seatbelt warning

system operates as follows according

to the vehicle speed.

– The warning light will illuminate

when driving approximately 4 mph

(6 km/h) or less.

– The warning light will blink, and

the warning chime will make a peep

sound when driving between ap-

proximately 4 mph (6 km/h) and 13

mph (20 km/h). The warning chime

will stop when the vehicle stops.

– The warning light will blink, and

the warning chime will sound loudly

– The warning light will blink, and

the warning chime will sound loudly

when driving approximately more

than 13 mph (20 km/h).

. The warning light will turn off and the

warning chime will stop when the

seatbelt is fastened.

If there is no passenger on the front

passenger’s seat, the seatbelt warning

system for the front passenger’s seat will

be deactivated. The front passenger’s

seatbelt warning system monitors whether

or not there is a passenger on the front

passenger’s seat.

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may prevent the

device from functioning correctly or

cause the device to fail.

. Do not install any accessory such

as a table or TV onto the seat-

back.

. Do not store a heavy load in the

seatback pocket.

. Do not allow the rear seat occu-

pant to place his/her hands or

spection.

& CHECK ENGINE

Warning Light/Malfunc-

tion Indicator Light

s03ae04

CAUTION

If the CHECK ENGINE warning light/

malfunction indicator light illumi-

nates while you are driving, have

your vehicle checked/repaired by

your SUBARU dealer as soon as

possible. Continued vehicle opera-

tion without having the emission

control system checked and re-

paired as necessary could cause

serious damage, which may not be

covered by your vehicle’s warranty.

If this light illuminates steadily or blinks

while the engine is running, it may indicate

that there is at least one problem or

potential problem somewhere in the emis-

sion control system.

! If the light illuminates constantly

s03ae0401

If the light illuminates constantly while

driving or does not turn off after the engine

starts, an emission control system mal-

function has been detected.

You should have your vehicle checked by

an authorized SUBARU dealer immedi-

ately.

NOTE

This light also illuminates when the fuel

filler cap is not tightened until it clicks.

If you have recently refueled your vehicle,

the cause of the CHECK ENGINE warning

light/malfunction indicator light coming on

could be a loose or missing fuel filler cap.

Remove the cap and retighten it until it

clicks. Make sure nothing is interfering with

the sealing of the cap. Tightening the cap

will not make the CHECK ENGINE warn-

ing light/malfunction indicator light turn off

immediately. It may take several driving

trips. If the light does not turn off, take your

vehicle to your authorized SUBARU dealer

immediately.

! If the light is blinking

s03ae0402

If the light is blinking while driving, an

engine misfire condition has been de-

tected which may damage the emission

control system.

To prevent serious damage to the emis-

sion control system, you should conform to

the following instructions.

. Reduce vehicle speed.

. Avoid hard acceleration.

. Avoid steep uphill grades.

. Reduce the amount of cargo, if possi-

ble.

. Stop towing a trailer as soon as

possible (Outback/Subaru Outback

Wilderness).

The CHECK ENGINE warning light/mal-

function indicator light may stop blinking

and illuminate steadily after several driving

trips. You should have your vehicle

checked by an authorized SUBARU dealer

immediately.

(187,1)

北米Model "A2620BE-A" EDITED: 2022/ 4/ 25

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

s03ae06

CAUTION

Do not operate the engine with the

oil pressure warning light on. This

may cause serious engine damage.

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

contact your nearest SUBARU dealer

immediately.

For details about checking the engine oil

level or adding the engine oil, refer to

“Engine Oil” �P521.

& Engine Low Oil Level

Warning Indicator

s03ae58

This indicator appears when the engine oil

level decreases to the lower limit.

If the warning indicator appears, check the

engine oil level on a level surface. When

the engine oil level is not within the normal

range, refill with engine oil. Refer to

“Engine Oil” �P521. After adding or

changing the engine oil, warm up the

engine and stop it on a level surface, then

start the engine after a lapse of 1 minute or

more. Confirm that the warning indicator

has turned off after the engine has started.

If the warning indicator does not turn off

after refilling the engine oil, or the indicator

appears even though the engine oil level is

within the normal range, have the vehicle

checked by a SUBARU dealer.

NOTE

. The oil level will be detected by the

system just after turning the ignition

switch to the “OFF” position. If the oil

level is below the lower limit when the

ignition switch is turned to the “ON”

position, the engine low oil level warn-

ing indicator will turn on.

. When the vehicle is parked on a

steep slope, the engine low oil level

warning indicator may not illuminate

even if the oil level is below the lower

limit to avoid erroneous lighting.

& AT OIL TEMP Warning

Light

s03ae07

If this light illuminates when the engine is

running, it may indicate that the transmis-

sion fluid temperature is too hot.

If the light illuminates while driving, im-

mediately stop the vehicle in a safe place

and let the engine idle until the warning

light turns off.

! Transmission control system warn-

ing

s03ae0701

If the “AT OIL TEMP” warning light flashes

after the engine has started, it may indicate

that the transmission control system is not

working properly. Contact your nearest

SUBARU dealer for service immediately.

& Low Tire Pressure

Warning Light (U.S.-

Spec. Models)

s03ae08

When the ignition switch is turned to the

“ON” position, the low tire pressure warn-

ing light will illuminate for approximately 2

seconds to check that the tire pressure

monitoring system (TPMS) is functioning

properly. If there is no problem and all tires

are properly inflated, the light will go out.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),

– CONTINUED –

Warning and Indicator Lights

185

Instruments and Controls

(188,1)

北米Model "A2620BE-A" EDITED: 2022/ 4/ 25

should be checked monthly when cold and

inflated to the inflation pressure recom-

mended by the vehicle manufacturer on

the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-

sure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a

different size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure

label, you should determine the proper tire

inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle

has been equipped with a tire pressure

monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates

a low tire pressure telltale when one or

more of your tires is significantly under-

inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire

pressure telltale illuminates, you should

stop and check your tires as soon as

possible, and inflate them to the proper

pressure. Driving on a significantly under-

inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and

can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also

reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,

and may affect the vehicle’s handling and

stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a

substitute for proper tire maintenance,

and it is the driver’s responsibility to

maintain correct tire pressure, even if

under-inflation has not reached the level

to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire

pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with

a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating properly.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-

bined with the low tire pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction,

the telltale will flash for approximately one

minute and then remain continuously

illuminated. This sequence will continue

upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long

as the malfunction exists. When the mal-

function indicator is illuminated, the sys-

tem may not be able to detect or signal low

tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-

tions may occur for a variety of reasons,

including the installation of replacement or

alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that

prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-

erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction

telltale after replacing one or more tires or

wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

replacement or alternate tires and wheels

allow the TPMS to continue to function

properly.

Should the warning light illuminate steadily

after blinking for approximately one min-

ute, have the system inspected by your

nearest SUBARU dealer as soon as

possible.

WARNING

If this light does not illuminate

briefly after the ignition switch is

turned on or the light illuminates

steadily after blinking for approxi-

mately one minute, you should have

your Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-

tem checked at a SUBARU dealer as

soon as possible.

If this light illuminates while driving,

never brake suddenly. Instead, per-

form the following procedure. Other-

wise an accident involving serious

vehicle damage and serious perso-

nal injury could occur.

1) Keep driving straight ahead while

gradually reducing speed.

2) Slowly pull off the road to a safe

place.

If this light still illuminates while

driving after adjusting the tire pres-

sure, a tire may have significant

damage and a fast leak that causes

the tire to lose air rapidly. If you have

a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire

as soon as possible.

When a spare tire is mounted or a

wheel rim is replaced without the

original pressure sensor/transmitter

being transferred, the Low tire pres-

Warning and Indicator Lights

186

(189,1)

北米Model "A2620BE-A" EDITED: 2022/ 4/ 25

sure warning light will illuminate

steadily after blinking for approxi-

mately one minute. This indicates

the TPMS is unable to monitor all

four road wheels. Contact your

SUBARU dealer as soon as possible

for tire and sensor replacement and/

or system resetting. If the light

illuminates steadily after blinking

for approximately one minute,

promptly contact a SUBARU dealer

to have the system inspected.

CAUTION

The tire pressure monitoring system

is NOT a substitute for manually

checking tire pressure. The tire

pressure should be checked peri-

odically (at least monthly) using a

tire gauge. After any change to tire

pressure(s), the tire pressure mon-

itoring system will not re-check tire

inflation pressures until the vehicle

is first driven more than 20 mph (32

km/h). After adjusting the tire pres-

sures, increase the vehicle speed to

at least 20 mph (32 km/h) to start the

TPMS re-checking of the tire infla-

tion pressures. If the tire pressures

are now above the severe low pres-

sure threshold, the low tire pressure

warning light should turn off a few

minutes later. Therefore, be sure to

install the specified size for the front

and rear tires.

& ABS Warning Light

s03ae09

CAUTION

. If any of the following conditions

occur, we recommend that you

have the ABS repaired at the first

available opportunity by your

SUBARU dealer.

– The warning light does not

illuminate when the ignition

switch is turned to the “ON”

position.

– The warning light illuminates

when the ignition switch is

turned to the “ON” position,

but it does not turn off even

after starting the vehicle.

– The warning light illuminates

during driving.

. When the warning light is on (and

brake system warning light is

off), the ABS function shuts

down; however, the conventional

brake system continues to oper-

ate normally.

The ABS warning light illuminates together

with the brake system warning light if the

EBD system malfunctions. For further

details of the EBD system malfunction

warning, refer to “Brake System Warning

Light” �P188.

NOTE

If the warning light behavior is as

described in the following conditions,

the ABS may be considered normal.

. The warning light illuminates right

after the engine is started but turns off

immediately, remaining off.

. The warning light remains illumi-

nated after the engine has been started,

but it turns off while driving.

. The warning light illuminates during

driving, but it turns off immediately and

remains off.

When driving with an insufficient battery

voltage such as when the engine is jump

started, the ABS warning light may illumi-

nate. This is due to the low battery voltage

and does not indicate a malfunction. When

the battery becomes fully charged, the

light will turn off.

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.
