Subaru Forester: Ignition switch (models without “keyless access with push-button start
system”) / Ignition switch light (if equipped)
For easy access to the ignition switch in
the dark, the ignition switch light illuminates
when the driver’s door is opened or
when the driver’s door is unlocked using
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The light remains illuminated for several
tens of seconds and then gradually turns
off under the following conditions.
- The driver’s door is closed.
- The doors are unlocked using the
remote keyless entry transmitter.
The light turns off immediately under the
following conditions.
- The ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
- All doors and the rear gate are locked
using the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Other information:
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the charging
system is not working properly.
If the light illuminates while driving or does
not turn off after the engine starts, stop the
engine at the first safe opportunity and
check the alternator belt...
