What should I do if the oil pressure warning light comes on?

2017

If the light illuminates while driving or stays on after startup, stop the engine safely and check the oil level; add oil immediately if it is low.

If the oil level is correct but the light remains on, contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately and do not operate the engine, because serious damage may result.

What should I do if the charge warning light stays on?

2017

While driving, or if it stays lit after startup, stop the engine at the earliest safe chance and inspect the alternator belt.

Contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately if the belt is loose or broken, or if the light stays lit despite a good belt.
