What is your question?
I just bought a new to me 2011 Outback (2.5i m/t) and am learning all the idiosyncrasies of this car. I noticed that the coolant light illuminates and shuts off when at temp. What throws me is that it's blue, I would think it should be red if it's too hot. Maybe it is and I just don't know. Anyone have input on this? I realize this may be a "duh" question but you don't know what you don't know.
What makes this problem better or worse?
once vehicle is warm
How long has your 2011 Subaru Outback had this problem?
no clue- car is 2 days old to me

Hello, What likely is happening is that the ooolant is a little low, and when the engine (and coolant) warms, it expands enough to fill the reservoir to the minimum allowable amount. Check the coolant level, and add if needed. If the coolant level is ok, I would move on to testing the coolant level sensor, which is located on/in the reservoir.
