2-4 Keys and doors
„Security indicator light
The security indicator light deters potential
thieves by indicating that the vehicle is
equipped with an immobilizer system. It
begins flashing approximately 60 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned from the
“ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” po- sition or immediately after the key is pulled
out.
If the security indicator light does not
flash, the immobilizer system may be
faulty. If this occurs, contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation key), the security indicator
light comes on.NOTE
Even if the security indicator light
flashes irregularly or its fuse blows
(the light does not flash if its fuse is
blown), the immobilizer system will function normally. „ Key replacement
Your key number plate and security ID
plate will be required if you ever need a re-placement key made. Any new key must
be registered for use with your vehicle’s
immobilizer system before it can be used.
Up to four keys can be registered for use
with one vehicle.
For security, all the keys registered withyour vehicle’s immobilizer system will
have their ID codes erased and re-regis-
tered when a new key is made. Therefore,
all of your vehicle’s keys must be present-
ed when a new key is registered. Any key
that is not re-registered when a new key is
made cannot be used after the other keys
are re-registered. For information on re-
placement keys and on the registration ofkeys with your immobilizer system, con-
tact your SUBARU dealer.Door locks „ Locking and unlocking from
the outside
To lock the driver’s door from the outside
with the key, turn the key toward the front.
To unlock the door, turn the key toward
the rear.
Lift the outside door handle to open an un- locked door.

you open and close the driver’s door with-
in 10 seconds of illumination of the odom- eter/trip meter. „
Double trip meter
This meter display two trip meters when
the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”, “ACC”
or “ON” position.
The trip meter shows the distance that the
vehicle has been driven since you last set
it to zero.
To change the mode indication, briefly
push the knob.
Each press of the knob changes the mode
indication alternately. To set the trip meter to zero, select the A
trip or B trip meter by pushing the knob
and keep the knob pushed for more than 2 seconds.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK” position, the
odometer/trip meter will light up. It is pos-
sible to switch between the A trip meter and B trip meter indications while the
odometer/trip meter is lit up. If you do not
press the trip knob within 10 seconds of il-
lumination of the odometer/trip meter, the
odometer/trip meter will go off. Also, if you
open and close the driver’s door within 10
seconds of illumination of the odometer/
trip meter, the odometer/trip meter will go
off.
NOTE
If the connection between the combi-
nation meter and battery is broken for
any reason such as vehicle mainte-
nance or fuse replacement, the data re-
corded on the trip meter will be lost. T
Vehicle communication system
fault indication
The vehicle communication system car-
ries various types of information (vehicle
speed, running conditions, etc.) to control
modules. In the event of a fault in this
communication system, the trip meter will
show “ ”.
If the trip meter shows “ ”, immedi-
ately contact the nearest SUBARU dealer
and have the vehicle communication sys-
tem inspected.
NOTE
If you press the trip knob while the trip
meter is showing “ ”, the trip
meter indication will appear for 10 sec-
onds. „ Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.

Starting and operating 7-7
Starting the engine
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn off unnecessary lights and acces- sories.
3. Shift the selector lever to the “P” or “N”
position (preferably “P” position). The
starter will only operate when the select
lever is at the “P” or “N” position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po-
sition and check the operation of the warn-
ing and indicator lights. Refer to the
“Warning and indicator lights” section
(chapter 3).
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “START”position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediately af- ter the engine has started.
If the engine does not start, try the follow-
ing.
1) Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position and wait for at least 10 sec-
onds. After checking that the parking
brake is firmly set, turn the ignition
switch to the “START” position while de-
pressing the accelerator pedal slightly(approximately a quarter of the full
stroke). Release the accelerator pedal
as soon as the engine starts.
2) If this fails to start the engine, turn the
ignition switch back to the “OFF” posi-
tion and wait for at least 10 seconds.
Then fully depress the accelerator ped-
al and turn the ignition switch to the
“START” position. If the engine starts,
quickly release the accelerator pedal.
3) If this fails to start the engine, turn the
ignition switch again to the “OFF” posi-
tion. After waiting for 10 seconds or
longer, turn the ignition switch to the
“START” position without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
4) If the engine still refuses to start, con-
tact your nearest SUBARU dealer for
assistance.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have gone out after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the en- gine warms up.
While the engine is warming up, make
sure that the selector lever is at the “P” or
“N” position and that the parking brake is
applied.
y
Do not operate the starter motor
continuously for more than ten
seconds. If the engine fails to start
after operating the starter for five
to ten seconds, wait for ten sec-
onds or more before trying again.
y If you restart the engine while the
vehicle is moving, shift the selec-
tor lever into the “N” position. Do
not attempt to place the selector
lever of a moving vehicle into the “P” position.

Hose and connections
Your vehicle employs an electric cooling
fan which is thermostatically controlled to
operate when the engine coolant reaches
a specific temperature.
If the radiator cooling fan does not operate
even when the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge exceeds the normal operating
range, the cooling fan circuit may be de-
fective. Check the fuse and replace it if
necessary. If the fuse is not blown, have
the cooling system checked by your
SUBARU dealer.
If frequent addition of coolant is neces-
sary, there may be a leak in the engine
cooling system. It is recommended that
the cooling system and connections be
checked for leaks, damage, or looseness. „
Engine coolant
T Checking the coolant level
Check the coolant level at each fuel stop.
1. Check the coolant level on the outside
of the reservoir while the engine is cool.
2. If the level is close to or lower than the
“LOW” level mark, add coolant up to the
“FULL” level mark. If the reserve tank is
empty, remove the radiator cap and refill
as required. 3. After refilling the reserve tank and the
radiator, reinstall the caps and check that
the rubber gaskets inside the radiator cap
are in the proper position.
y
Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.
B00309
yBe careful not to spill engine cool-
ant when adding it. If coolant
touches the exhaust pipe, it may
cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or
a fire. If engine coolant gets on the
exhaust pipe, be sure to wipe itoff.
y Do not splash the engine coolant
over painted parts. The alcohol
contained in the engine coolant
may damage the paint surface.

11 - 3 6 Maintenance and service
Fuses
The fuses are designed to melt during an
overload to prevent damage to the wiring
harness and electrical equipment. The
fuses are located in two fuse boxes. One
is located under the instrument panel be-
hind the fuse box cover on the driver’sseat side. Open the lid that is located above the
hood release knob and pull it toward you
to remove it.
The other one is housed in the engine compartment. The spare fuses are stored in the main
fuse box cover in the engine compart-
ment.
The fuse puller is stored in the main fuse
box in the engine compartment.
Never replace a fuse with one hav-
ing a higher rating or with material
other than a fuse because serious
damage or a fire could result.

1) Good
2) Blown
If any lights, accessories or other electri-
cal controls do not operate, inspect the
corresponding fuse. If a fuse has blown,
replace it.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position and turn off all electrical accesso- ries.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Determine which fuse may be blown.
The back side of each fuse box cover and
the “Fuses and circuits” section in chapter
12 in this manual show the circuit for each fuse. 4. Pull out the fuse with the fuse puller.
5. Inspect the fuse. If it has blown, re-
place it with a spare fuse of the same rat-
ing.
6. If the same fuse blows again, this indi-
cates that its system has a problem. Con-
tact your SUBARU dealer for repairs.
Main fuse
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt dur-
ing an overload to prevent damage to the
wiring harness and electrical equipment.
Check the main fuses if any electrical
component fails to operate (except the
starter motor) and other fuses are good. A
melted main fuse must be replaced. Use
only replacements with the same speci-
fied rating as the melted main fuse. If a
main fuse blows after it is replaced, havethe electrical system checked by your
nearest SUBARU dealer.
