Instruments and controls
ing, you should have your Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System checked at a SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible.
If this light comes on while driving, never brake
suddenly and keep driving straight ahead while
gradually reducing speed. Then slowly pull off
the road to a safe place. Otherwise an accident
involving serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.
If this light still comes on while driving after ad-
justing the tire pressure, a tire may have signif-
icant damage and a fast leak that causes the
tire to lose air rapidly. If you have a flat tire, re-
place 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-
sure warning light will flash. This indicates the
TPMS is unable to monitor all four road wheels.
Contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble for tire and sensor replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting. If the light flashes, promptly con-
tact a SUBARU dealer to have the system in-
spected.
The tire pressure monitoring system is NOT a
substitute for manually checking tire pressure.
The tire pressure should be checked periodical-
ly (at least monthly) using a tire gauge. After
any change to tire pressure(s), the tire pressure
monitoring system will not re-check tire infla-
tion pressures until the vehicle is first driven
more than 20 mph (32 km/h). Be sure to install
the specified size for the front and rear tires.
! ABS warning light
The ABS warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes out after
about two seconds.
This is an indication that the ABS system is working
properly.
If the warning light behaves as follows, the ABS
system may not work properly.
When the warning light is on, the ABS function
shuts down; however, the conventional brake
system continues to operate normally.
