loose, broken or if the belt is in good
condition but the light remains illuminated,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
immediately.

is not working properly.
If the light illuminates while driving or does
not turn off after the engine starts, stop the

Engine low oil level
warning light

This light illuminates when the engine oil
level decreases to the lower limit. The
illuminating conditions and remaining oil
quantity are as follows.
. when the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position but the engine is not running:
approximately 2.2 US qt (2.1 liters, 1.8
Imp qt)

mately 3.8 US qt (3.6 liters, 3.2 Imp qt)

If the engine low oil level warning light
illuminates while driving, park the vehicle
in a safe and level location, and then
check the engine oil level. When the
engine oil level is not within the normal
range, refill with engine oil. Refer to

“Engine oil” F11-7.
If the warning light does not turn off after
refilling the engine oil, or the warning light
illuminates even though the engine oil
level is within the normal range, have the

vehicle checked by a SUBARU dealer.

NOTE

. After replacing or adding the engine
oil, if the engine oil level is within the
normal range when restarting the en-
gine on a level surface, the warning
light will turn off.

. The warning light may illuminate
temporarily in the following conditions
because a low oil level may be detected
as a result of significant oil movement
in the engine.

– when the vehicle is considerably
inclined on an uphill or steep slope
– when the vehicle has continu-
ously accelerated and decelerated
– when the vehicle is continuously
turned
– when the vehicle is driven on a
