LOW TIRE PRESSURE

WARNING LIGHT (Except

for Canada-Spec. Models)

s03ae08

When the ignition switch is turned to the

“ON” position, the low tire pressure

warning light will illuminate for a few

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 pro-

vided), should be checked monthly when

cold and inflated to the inflation pressure

recommended by the vehicle manufac-

turer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation

pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of

a different size than the size indicated on

the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-

sure 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 illumi-

nates 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 prop-

erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is

combined with the low tire pressure tell-

tale. When the system detects a mal-

function, the telltale will flash for approxi-

mately one minute and then remain

continuously illuminated. This sequence

will continue upon subsequent vehicle

start-ups as long as the malfunction

exists. When the malfunction indicator is

illuminated, the system may not be able to

detect or signal low tire pressure as

intended. TPMS malfunctions 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 properly. Al-

ways 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 stea-

dily after blinking for approximately one

minute, 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 approximately one minute,

you should have your Tire Pressure

Monitoring System 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 personal

injury could occur.

1) Keep driving straight ahead while

gradually reducing speed.

2) Slowly pull off the road to a safe

place.

3) Check the pressure for all four tires

and adjust the pressure to the

COLD tire pressure shown on the

tire inflation pressure label on the

door pillar on the driver’s side.

If this light still illuminates while driving

after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire

may have significant damage and a

fast leak that causes the tire to lose air

rapidly. If you have a flat tire, refer to

“Flat Tires” �P439.

When a replacement tire is mounted

or a wheel rim is replaced without the

original pressure sensor/transmitter

being transferred, the Low tire pres-

sure warning light will illuminate stea-

dily after blinking for approximately

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 check-

ing tire pressure. The tire pressure

should be checked periodically (at

least monthly) using a tire gauge. After

any change to tire pressure(s), the tire

pressure monitoring system will not re-

check tire inflation pressures until the

vehicle is first driven more than 25

mph (40 km/h). After adjusting the tire

pressures, increase the vehicle speed

to at least 25 mph (40 km/h) to start the

TPMS re-checking of the tire inflation

pressures. If the tire pressures are

now above the severe low pressure

threshold, the low tire pressure warn-

ing 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.

the ABS function shuts down;

however, the conventional brake

system continues to operate nor-

mally.

The ABS warning light illuminates to-

gether with the brake system warning

light if the EBD system malfunctions. For

further details of the EBD system mal-

function warning, refer to “Brake System

Warning Light” �P171.

NOTE

If the warning light behavior is as de-

scribed 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 illuminated

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

illuminate. This is due to the low battery

voltage and does not indicate a malfunc-

tion. When the battery becomes fully

charged, the light will turn off.

BRAKE SYSTEM

WARNING LIGHT

s03ae10

est SUBARU dealer and have the

vehicle inspected immediately.

NOTE

If the steering wheel is operated in the

following ways, the power steering control

system may temporarily limit the power

assist in order to prevent the system

components, such as the control compu-

ter 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

turning 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 resistance

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 opportu-

nity 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.
