Subaru Forester: Warning and indicator / Door open warning light

The warning light illuminates if any door or
the rear gate is not fully closed. This
function is effective even if the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF” or “ACC”
position, or the key is removed from the
ignition switch.
For some models, only the open doors are
indicated by the warning lights.
Always make sure this light is not illuminated
before you start to drive.
The warning light illuminates if the engine
hood is not fully closed. This function is
effective even if the ignition switch is in the
“LOCK”/“OFF” or “ACC” position, or the
key is removed from the ignition switch...
Other information:
If the light illuminates steadily while driving
or does not turn off after the engine starts,
an emission control system malfunction
has been detected.
You should have your vehicle checked by
an authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.
NOTE
This light also illuminates when the fuel
filler cap is not tightened until it clicks...
So that it can be used safely and comfortably,
the Auto Start Stop system is
designed to constantly monitor the vehicle
conditions as well as the environment
inside and outside the vehicle in addition
to driver operations, and to provide various
warnings to the driver via the warning light
and/or indicator light illuminating or flashing
and a buzzer sounding...
