What do Subaru Impreza Sport dash warning lights mean?

Yes—a Subaru Impreza Sport is a first-rate commuter car. And the table below will provide you with a description of some common Subaru dash lights and their meanings:
| Description of light & color | What light may mean | When to go to mechanic |
|---|---|---|
| Engine outline; amber | Problems vary. | Try tightening up your gas cap If this doesn’t turn off the light, take your Subaru to a mechanic. |
| ABS letters; amber | This light indicates an issue with your ABS braking system | Take your Subaru to a mechanic because while your conventional brakes may work, you don’t want your ABS off. |
| Icon shaped like a horseshoe with an !; amber | Tire pressure is low | Add air to your tires as needed. If the light does not go off, do not continue to drive on one or more tires with low pressure. Go to a mechanic or tire retailer. |
| AWD letters; amber | Problem with tires (and AWD) | 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. If your oil level is low, add oil. If the light doesn’t go off, take your Subaru to a mechanic 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. Once the engine has cooled, drive your Subaru to a mechanic or tow if necessary. |
After looking over this list, you’ll notice that red lights indicate a more immediate or serious problem while amber or yellow lights indicate you have a bit of time to address the issue. In either case, never ignore a dashboard light! They don’t go away on their own.
