NOTE  
3-1. Ignition switch (models  
without “keyless access with  
push-button start system”)  
CAUTION  
.
Keep the ignition switch in the  
“LOCK” position when the engine  
is not running.  
Do not attach a large key holder or  
key case to either key. If it banged  
against your knees or hands while  
you are driving, it could turn the  
ignition switch from the “ON” posi-  
tion to the “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-  
tion, thereby stopping the engine.  
Also, if the key is attached to a key  
holder or to a large bunch of other  
keys, centrifugal force may act on it  
as the vehicle moves, resulting in  
unwanted turning of the ignition  
switch.  
.
Using electrical accessories for a  
long time with the ignition switch in  
the “ON” or “ACC” position can  
cause the battery to go dead.  
WARNING  
.
.
Never turn the ignition switch to  
the “LOCK” position while the  
vehicle is being driven or towed  
because that will lock the steer-  
ing wheel, preventing steering  
control. And when the engine is  
turned off, it takes a much greater  
effort than usual to steer.  
.
If the ignition switch will not move  
from the “LOCK” position to the  
“ACC” position, turn the steering  
wheel slightly to the left and right as  
you turn the ignition switch.  
& Key positions  
Before leaving the vehicle, al-  
ways remove the key from the  
ignition switch for safety and  
never allow an unattended child  
to remain in the vehicle. Failure to  
follow this procedure could re-  
sult in injury to a child or others.  
Children could operate the power  
windows, the moonroof or other  
controls or even make the vehicle  
move.

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 turn off.  
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),  
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.)

SUBARU dealer for service immediately.  
NOTE  
.
If the tire pressures are not correct  
and/or the tires are not all the same  
size and brand, the rear differential  
will be heavily loaded when the  
vehicle is driven, resulting in an  
abnormally high oil temperature.  
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.  
Otherwise an accident involving  
serious vehicle damage and serious  
personal injury could occur.  
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-  
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.  
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 the light illuminates steadily after  
blinking for approximately one min-  
ute, promptly contact a SUBARU  
dealer to have the system inspected.  
If this light illuminates while driving,

ing light  
light  
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.  
While the engine is running, this warning  
light illuminates when a malfunction has  
been detected in the electric power steer-  
ing system.  
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.  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
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.  
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.

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 con-  
trol computer and drive motor, from  
overheating.  
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.

refer to “Vehicle Setting” �P199.  
Otherwise the washer fluid can  
freeze on the windshield, blocking  
your view.  
CAUTION  
.
.
Do not operate the washer con-  
tinuously for more than 10 sec-  
onds, or when the washer fluid  
tank is empty. This may cause  
overheating of the washer motor.  
Check the washer fluid level fre-  
quently, such as at fuel stops.  
.
If the wipers stop during opera-  
tion because of ice or some other  
obstruction on the window, this  
might cause the wiper motor to  
fail even if the wiper switch is  
turned off. If this occurs,  
promptly stop the vehicle in a  
safe place, turn the ignition  
switch to the “LOCK”/“OFF” po-  
sition and clean the window glass  
to allow proper wiper operation.  
Do not operate the wipers when  
the windshield or rear window is  
dry. This may scratch the glass,  
damage the blade rubbers and  
might cause the wiper motor to  
fail. Before operating the wiper  
on a dry windshield or rear win-  
dow, always use the windshield  
washer.

if the wiper operation is jerky, clean  
the outer surface of the windshield

soft cloth with a neutral detergent or  
mild-abrasive cleaner. Do not, how-  
ever, use detergent to clean the  
blade rubbers. Use only a sponge  
or soft cloth (and no neutral deter-  
gent or mild abrasive cleaner) when  
you clean the blade rubbers. If you  
wipe the rubber of the blade  
strongly, the black coating compo-  
nent will peel off, which will cause  
the wiper to judder. Also, after wip-  
ing it off, check that the rubber has  
not come loose. After cleaning the

bers, be sure to rinse them with  
clean water. Rinse the window until  
the water does not form beads on the

The windshield wiper motor is pro-  
tected against overloads by a circuit  
breaker. If the motor operates con-  
tinuously under an unusually heavy  
load, the circuit breaker may trip to  
stop the motor temporarily. If this  
happens, park your vehicle in a safe  
place, turn off the wiper switch, and  
wait for approximately 10 minutes.  
The circuit breaker will reset itself,  
and the wipers will again operate  
normally.  
Clean your blade rubbers and win-  
dow glass periodically with a washer  
solution to prevent streaking, and to  
remove accumulations of road salt  
or road film. Operate the windshield  
washer for at least 1 second so that  
washer solution will be sprinkled all  
over the windshield or rear window.

NOTE  
gramming  
If programming a garage door opener  
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug  
the device during the “cycling” process  
to prevent possible overheating.  
Canadian radio-frequency laws require  
transmitter remote signals to “time-out”  
(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-  
sion, which may not be long enough for  
HomeLink to pick up the signal during  
programming. Similar to this Canadian  
law, some U.S. gate operators are de-  
signed to “time-out” in the same manner.  
The indicator LED on the hand-held  
remote will go off when the device times  
out, indicating that it has finished transmit-  
ting.  
Proceed with “Programming a New  
HomeLink Button” step 4 to complete.  
! Using HomeLink  
To operate, simply press and release the  
programmed HomeLink button. Activation  
will now occur for the trained device (i.e.

ity system, entry door lock, home/office  
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-  
held remote of the device may also be
