Subaru Warning Lights: What Do They Mean?

Is Your Subaru Trying to Tell You Something? Pay Attention to Warning Lights

As a Subaru owner, you know your vehicle is built to last. But even the most reliable cars need regular maintenance and care. One important way your Subaru communicates potential issues is through warning lights on the dashboard.

While it may be tempting to ignore these lights, doing so could lead to bigger problems down the road. Learn about common Subaru warning lights and why it's crucial to get them checked out by a professional.

Common Subaru Warning Lights to Know

There are several warning lights that may appear on your Subaru's dashboard. Some of the most common ones to be aware of include:

• Check Engine Light - Indicates a problem with your vehicle's emissions system. The issue could be something simple like a loose gas cap or a more serious engine problem.
• Oil Pressure Warning - This means the engine oil level is low or there is a problem with the oil pressure system. Driving with low oil can cause major engine damage.
• Tire Pressure Warning - One or more of your tires has low air pressure. Driving on under-inflated tires is a safety risk and causes premature wear. 
• Battery Charge Warning - Your vehicle's charging system isn't functioning properly. A problem with the battery or alternator may be to blame.

Why You Shouldn't Ignore Warning Lights

When a warning light appears, your Subaru is trying to alert you to a potentially serious issue. Ignoring the problem could lead to major damage that is expensive to repair. Warning lights are an early indication that something isn't right. By getting the problem checked out right away, you can avoid costlier issues in the future and keep your Subaru running smoothly.
