What do Subaru Impreza dash warning lights mean?
I bought a used Subaru Impreza recently and a light came on today. It looks a bit like a horseshoe with an exclamation point inside it. What do Subaru Impreza dash warning lights mean?

In your case, the
Subaru Impreza
light you are describing is the low tire pressure light. You should check the tire pressure in each tire and inspect for leaks. If the light does not go off after you fill your tires with air, take your Subaru to a mechanic for a further diagnosis of the problem.Below, you’ll find a table with some of the most common warning lights on a Subaru dashboard. Many lights are amber or yellow, but some are red. Red lights indicate an urgent problem.
Description of light & color | What light may mean | When to go to mechanic |
|---|---|---|
Icon of an engine; amber | Problems vary from less serious (a loose gas cap) to a failing emissions system. | If tightening your gas cap does not work, take it to a dealer/mechanic as soon as possible. |
ABS letters; amber | Problem with your ABS braking system | Your conventional brakes should continue to work, but you should take your vehicle for servicing of your ABS as soon as possible. |
AWD letters; amber | Problem with tires (and AWD) | Pull over to the side of the road and inspect for excessively low tire pressure. Take your car in for servicing ASAP as you can damage your powertrain. |
Oil can icon; red | Oil pressure is low | Check your oil level as soon as you can safely do so. Then take it to a mechanic ASAP to troubleshoot the cause to prevent engine damage. |
Wavy lines with thermometer icon; red | If blinking RED, this indicates engine may be overheating | Safely stop the car and turn off the engine. Take to a mechanic once the engine has cooled or tow to a mechanic if necessary. |
Knowing what dashboard warning lights mean is important—after all, they flash or light up for a reason! You can prevent a big repair bill if you address the problem quickly.
