Instrument panel light controlThe brightness of the instrument panel lights can be adjusted. Brighter
Darker
■The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the parking lights or the headlights turn on, the instrument panel lights
will dim. However, when the instrument panel brightness control dial is
turned to the up most position, the instrument panel lights will not dim even
when the parking lights or headlights turn on.
■Fuel gauge
●When the indicator needle is close to “E”, promptly refuel the vehicle.
●The relationship between the indicator needle and the consumed amount
(remaining fuel) is not always accurate. Only use it as a reference.
●When the vehicle is on an incline or curve, sudden acceleration and
stops and so forth cause the fuel inside the tank to move which may
cause the indicator needle to move up and down.
CAUTION
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the temperature gauge is in the red
zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( →P. 409)

: Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system
These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position to indicate that a system check is being performed. They
will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There
may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if
the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your
SUBARU dealer.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system
These lights turn on when the push-button ignition switch is turned
to “ON” mode to indicate that a system check is being performed.
They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds.
There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on,

: The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show
you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. When the
engine switch is turned to the “ON” position, (vehicles without a key-
less access with push button start system), or the push-button ignition
switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless access with
push button start system), both the ON and OFF indicators illuminate
for 6 seconds during the system check. After the system check, both
the ON and OFF indicators turn off for 2 seconds. Then, either the
ON or OFF indicator illuminates depending on the condition of the
front passenger’s frontal airbag.
When the OFF indicator remains off and ON indicator illuminates, the
front passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision. When
the OFF indicator illuminates and ON indicator remains off, the front
passenger’s frontal airbag does not deploy during a collision.
If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators remain
on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without a keyless access with push button start system) or the push-
button ignition switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system), or the indicators remain off
after the system check, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer immediately.

■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles with an automatic transmission: To make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other drivers, the daytime running lights turn on automatically
whenever the engine is started, the select lever is shifted out of P and the
parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers, the daytime running lights turn on automatically when-
ever the engine is started and the parking brake is released. Daytime
running lights are not designed for use at night.
●Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensorHeadlight control sensor is located on the
passenger's side.
The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
