Subaru Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
A full ownership experience includes a well-versed knowledge of your car's indicator lights. Mostly, these lights tell you when your vehicle needs maintenance or repairs. They also help you drive safer. We'll detail 10 standard lights today that are commonly seen in Subarus.
Airbag Fault
You'll know you have an airbag-system fault when you see this light. It also covers your seat belts. Driving with an airbag flaw is dangerous if you get in an accident. Please make a service appointment soon.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light indicates low fuel. The fuel level that activates this light varies by each automaker. Check your manual for the amount of gas you have in your tank. Get fuel as soon as possible.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
If this light glows, your car is suffering from low oil pressure. It will not function properly with low pressure, and it could develop expensive damage. Check your oil. If your oil level is adequate despite this indicator shining, seek service.
Service Vehicle Soon
This helpful light informs you that it's time to book a maintenance appointment. You'll need an oil change and any other service that corresponds to your current mileage. We can perform all scheduled maintenance your car needs.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Proper tire pressure permits safe operation. This indicator warns of insufficient tire pressure. Safely seek an air hose, check your tires and fill any that are low. If this light glows despite proper pressure, you need your TPMS sensors serviced.
Slip Indicator
Your traction control and stability control activate when needed. This light shines when either of those features engages, and they typically engage for short spells. If this light burns constantly, it warns of a fault in your traction-related components. In that case, seek service.
Charging System Warning Light
Often, this light has a battery's image on it, but it indicates a problem within your charging system. This system includes your battery, alternator, fan belt, and attached wires. If this light shines for a sustained amount of time, seek immediate service.
Brake System
You can drive safely for a short distance with this indicator lit. It lets you know that you have an issue within your braking components. Fortunately, we service brakes.
Open Door Warning Light
This light informs you of an open door when your vehicle's power is engaged. Close the door safely before operating your vehicle.
Coolant Level Warning
Your coolant keeps your engine within its safe operating temperature range. This light warns of a coolant problem. Never drive with low coolant or a related issue. You'll likely cause significant engine damage.
