Check Engine

A solid-lit check engine light means your vehicle is in need of maintenance. While it is safe to continue driving, you should take your Subaru to a certified mechanic as soon as possible. If your check engine light is flashing, your Subaru has a severe issue and continuous driving could damage important components of your vehicle.

Oil Pressure Warning

This symbol will illuminate if your oil pressure is low, meaning you may not have proper lubrication in the engine. To avoid damaging your engine, do not drive your vehicle with the oil pressure warning light lit. You can avoid this warning symbol by maintaining a regular oil change schedule.

Tire Pressure Warning

If you see this symbol on your dashboard, it could mean that one of your tires are under-inflated or there is a fault in the system. Check your tire pressure and properly fill all tires with the correct amount of air.

Charge System Light

If your battery has gone bad or needs charging, you'll see the battery indicator light on your dashboard.
