Starting and operating
NOTE
y
The indicator light may stay on for a
while after the engine has been started,
especially in cold weather. This occurs
because the engine has not yet
warmed up and is completely normal.
The light will turn off when the engine
has reached a suitable operating tem-
perature.
y
When an engine problem occurs and
the malfunction indicator lamp turns
on, the indicator light will also come
on.
The following two situations could indicate
malfunction of the Vehicle Dynamics Con-
trol system; if either should occur, we rec-
ommend that you have an authorized
SUBARU dealer carry out an inspection of
that system at the first available opportuni-

The indicator light does not turn on
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
y
The indicator light fails to turn off after
the engine is started, even when several
minutes have passed to allow the engine
to heat up sufficiently.
