systems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could
result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your
SUBARU dealer immediately if this occurs.

■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be
displayed.
• When the vehicle is very hot, such as when under the sun.
• When the vehicle is idling or being driven at low speeds such as in a
traffic jam or when the engine is stopped and then restarted immedi-
ately afterward.
• When the actual outside temperature is outside of the indicator range.
●If “” is displayed for approximately 1 minute or more or if the outside
temperature is not displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Have
the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer.
WARNING
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver's shifting and the new shift
position number appearing on the display. In this case, wait until the display
changes and take care not to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive
engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

WARNING
■Caution for use while driving
●When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.
●Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as
you may fail to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the
vehicle.
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
■Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
CAUTION
■While setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting
up the display features.
