■ Emergency flashers

  • If the emergency flashers are operated for an extended period while the Subaru Solterra EV system is not in READY mode, the 12-volt battery may gradually discharge.
  • In the event of SRS airbag deployment or a significant rear collision, the Subaru Solterra emergency flashers may activate automatically.

    These hazard lights will automatically switch off after approximately 20 minutes. If necessary, they can be manually turned off by pressing the switch twice. Note that automatic activation depends on impact severity and collision conditions.
