If this light comes on and stays on, see your
Subaru dealer as soon as possible. There may be
a problem with your emission control system.
NOTE: If you have recently refueled your vehicle,
the “CHECK ENGINE” light may stay on due to
a missing or loose fuel filler cap. (The cap should
be tightened until it clicks three times.) Please
refer to the “Warning and Indicator Lights”
section in the “Instrument and Controls”
chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
