Vehicle equipped with OBD system
Vehicles sold in Europe are equipped with
an enhanced on-board diagnostics sys-
tem called OBD that monitors the perfor-
mance of the vehicle
’
s emission control
system.
Vehicles sold in some countries outside
Europe may be equipped with the OBD
system. We recommend that you ask your
SUBARU dealer to ascertain whether your
vehicle has the OBD system.
The OBD system helps to protect the
environment by ensuring that emissions
are at acceptable levels for the life of the
vehicle.
If the malfunction indicator lamp illumi-
nates steadily or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate that there is a
problem or potential problem somewhere
in the emission control system and that
service is required. The OBD system also
assists your service technician in properly
diagnosing any malfunction.
CAUTION
If the malfunction indicator lamp
illuminates while you are driving,
we recommend that you have your
vehicle checked/repaired by your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Continued vehicle operation
without having the emission control
system checked and repaired as
necessary could cause serious da-
mage, which may not be covered by
your vehicle
’
s warranty.
!
If the light illuminates steadily:
If the light illuminates steadily while driving
or does not turn off after the engine starts,
an emission control system malfunction
has been detected.
We recommend that you have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
SUBARU dealer immediately.
!
If the light is blinking:
If the light is blinking while driving, an
engine misfire condition has been de-
tected which may damage the emission
control system.
To prevent serious damage to the emis-
sion control system, you should do the
following:
.
Reduce vehicle speed.
.
Avoid hard acceleration.
.
Avoid steep uphill grades.
.
Reduce the amount of cargo, if possi-
ble.
.
Stop towing a trailer as soon as
possible.
The malfunction indicator lamp may stop
blinking and illuminate steadily after sev-
eral driving trips. We recommend that you
have your vehicle checked by an author-
ized SUBARU dealer immediately.
