Subaru Forester: Warning and indicator / Engine hood open warning light

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.
Always make sure this light is not illuminated
before you start to drive.
This light blinks if the vehicle is driven with
tires of differing diameters fitted on the
wheels or with an excessively low air
pressure in any of the tires...

NOTE
When the vehicle is stopped and the
driver’s door is opened and closed, the
Driver Monitoring System automatically
turns ON regardless of the pushbutton
ignition switch status.
After the Driver Monitoring System
was turned OFF, if the Driver Monitoring
System is turned ON while the driver’s
door is open, user recognition may not
occur correctly...
The sum of four tires’ maximum
load ratings must exceed the maximum
loaded vehicle weight
(“GVWR”). In addition, sum of the
maximum load ratings of two front
tires and of two rear tires must
exceed each axle’s maximum
loaded capacity (“GAWR”)...
