The other day on my 2004 Legacy H6 Wagon (the new model with built-in
navigation) I had the "CRUISE" light blinking continuously (+- right
side, below the RPM disk). The functionnality was also disabled.

It was solved by a "reboot", that is shutting the engine down and
turning it back on. After that the cruise control was fully functional
again.

Anyone knows what that blinking light meant? First time it happened in
several months and over 7500km.

RTFM! The same happened on the road with my 2005 Outback recently and
it is caused by the cruise switch being touched while starting. The
cure is also given in the manual.

Thanks for answering. Yes, I have not looked at the manual about that
yet. Would be nice to have a PDF version to keep and consult at home as
well.

I just made over 130'000 km with a Mitsubishi Galant extensively using
the cruise control and, although it had other bigger annoyances, a
similar issue never happened. Thus my post here, I was wondering if
there were some specifics about Subaru cruise control solution. When it
works, which is 99% of the time, it really is nice and smooth.

On the Galant I could often feel a "localized resistance" when pressing
down the accelerator, also when the cruise control was disabled. I also
found the "resume" acceleration too strong.

I had a somewhat similar incident recently on my 2000 OBW, however the
cruise light didn't start blinking it just went off and stayed off until
the "reboot". It's probable that the cruise light behaviour is different
because of our different model years.
