Instruments and controls/Warning and indicator lights
&
Rear differential oil
temperature warning
light (STI)
CAUTION
Reduce the vehicle speed and park
the vehicle in a safe location as
soon as possible if the R.DIFF TEMP
warning light illuminates. Sustained
driving with this light on can cause
the rear differential and other parts
of the powertrain to be damaged.
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the rear
differential oil temperature is too hot.
At this time, the driver
’
s control center
differential will automatically cancel the
current torque-distribution ratio setting and
adopt its minimum ratio.
If the light illuminates while driving, reduce
vehicle speed and stop the vehicle in the
nearest safe location. Park the vehicle for
several minutes. After the light turns off,
you can start driving.
If the light does not turn off, we recom-
mend that you contact the nearest
SUBARU dealer for service.
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.
.
The rear differential oil will deterio-
rate if its temperature increases en-
ough for the rear differential oil tem-
perature warning light to illuminate. It is
advisable to have the rear differential
oil replaced as soon as possible.
&
Low tire pressure
warning light (if
equipped)
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“
ON
”
position, the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will illuminate for approximately 2
seconds to check that the tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) is functioning
properly. If the system functions normally
and the tire pressure of all four wheels is
appropriate for the selected TPMS mode,
the warning light will turn off. The TPMS
mode should be changed according to the
specified pressure shown on the tire
inflation pressure label. For how to change
a mode and information about the mode to
be selected, refer to
“
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
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
