 P118.▼ Anti-entrapment function
While closing the window automatically, if
the window senses a substantial enough
object trapped between the window and
the roof side (between the front pillar and
a point over the rear seat), it automatically
moves down slightly and stops.
If a foreign object is caught while window
is opening automatical ly, the window will
stop.
NOTE If a window detects an impact
similar to that caused by trapping an
object (for example, when the vehicle
encounters a deep pothole), the anti-
entrapment func tion may operate.
 You cannot close the window for a
few seconds after the anti-entrapment
function operates.
▼ Off delay function

Instruments and Controls3
– CONTINUED –
3-2. Hazard Warning FlasherThe hazard warning flasher is used to
warn other drivers when you have to park
your vehicle under emergency conditions.
The hazard warning fl asher works with the
ignition switch in any position.
To turn on the hazard warning flasher,
press the hazard warning button on the
instrument panel. All the turn signal lights
and the turn signal indicator lights will
flash. To turn off the flasher, press the
button again.NOTEWhen the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
3-3. Meters and GaugesNOTELiquid crystal displays are used in
some of the meters and gauges in the
combination meter. You will find their
indications hard to see if you wear
polarized glasses.■ SpeedometerThe speedometer shows the vehicle
speed.
■ TachometerThe tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.NOTEThe initial movement of the bar display
that occurs when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position can be
activated or deactivated.
For details, refer to "General settings"
 P161.

CAUTION
 Do not operate the engine with
the pointer of the tachometer in
the red zone. In this range, fuel
injection will be cut by the engine
control module to protect the
engine from overrevving. The
engine will resume running
normally after the engine speed is
reduced below the red zone. Pay extra attention to the engine
speed when the engine is cold, as
the red zone will be lower than
normal.

Meter1) TRIP RESET switch
2) Odometer
3) Trip meterThis meter displays the odometer/trip
meter when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
The display can be switched as shown in
the following sequence by pressing the
TRIP RESET switch. To reset the trip meter, select either the A

trip or B trip meter, then press and hold the
TRIP RESET switch.
▼ Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven.
NOTEIf you press the TRIP RESET switch
when the ignition switch is in the
“OFF” or “ACC” po sition, the odome-
ter/trip meter will light up. The indica-
tors will turn off when the TRIP RESET
switch is not operated for approxi-
mately 10 seconds. ▼
Double trip meter
The trip meter shows the distance that the
vehicle has been driven since you last set
it to zero.NOTE If the connection between the
combination meter and battery is
broken for any reason such as vehicle
maintenance or fuse replacement, the
data recorded on the trip meter will be
lost.
 If you press the TRIP RESET switch
when the ignition switch is in the
“OFF” or “ACC” position, the odom-
eter/trip meter will light up. It is
possible to switch between the A trip
meter and B trip meter indications
while the odometer/trip meter is lit up.

■Fuel GaugeThe fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or
“ACC” position, the fuel gauge shows “E”
even if the fuel tank contains fuel.
The gauge may move slightly due to fuel
level movement in the tank (e.g., during
braking, turning or acceleration).NOTEYou will see the “ ” sign in the fuel
gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler
lid is located on the right side of the
vehicle.
■ Engine Coolant Temperature
GaugeThe temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
■ Outside TemperatureDisplays the outside temperature within
the range of -40°F (-40°C) to 122°F
(50°C). Low outside temperature indicator
comes on when the ambient temperature
is 37°F (3°C) or lower.NOTEThe outside temperature indicator
shows the temperature around the
sensor. However, the temperature may
not be indicated correctly or the
update may be delayed in the follow-
ing conditions.
 While parking or driving at low
speeds
 When the outside temperature
changes suddenly (example: when
going in and out of an underground
parking area or when passing through
a tunnel)
 When starting the engine after being
parked for a certain period of time

With the ignition switch turned to the “ON”
position, this device reminds the driver
and front passenger to fasten their
seatbelts by illuminating the warning lights
in the locations indicated in the following
illustration and sounding a chime.Driver’s warning light Front passenger’s warning light

Operation
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the dr iver’s and/or front
passenger’s warning light will illuminate,
then it will blink for several seconds. If the
seatbelt of the driver’s seat is not
fastened, the warning chime may make a
peep sound.NOTE If the driver’s and/or front
passenger’s seatbelt(s) are/is not
fastened while driving, the seatbelt
warning system operates as follows
according to the vehicle speed. - The warning light will illuminate
when driving approximately 4 mph
(6 km/h) or less. - The warning light will blink, and

the warning chime will make a peep
sound when driving between
approximately 4 mph (6 km/h) and
13 mph (20 km/h). The warning
chime will stop when the vehicle
stops.
- The warning light will blink, and
the warning chime will sound loudly
when 15 seconds have elapsed
while driving between approxi-
mately 4 mph (6 km/h) and 13 mph
(20 km/h).
- The warning light will blink, and
the warning chime will sound loudly
when driving approximately more
than 13 mph (20 km/h).
 The warning light will turn off and
the warning chime will stop when the
seatbelt is fastened.
If there is no passenger on the front
passenger’s seat, the seatbelt warning
system for the front passenger’s seat will
be deactivated. The front passenger’s
seatbelt warning system monitors whether
or not there is a passenger on the front
passenger’s seat.

If the seatbelt warning system for the front
passenger’s seat does not function
correctly (e.g., it is activated even when
the front passenger’s seat is empty or it is
deactivated even when the front
passenger has not fastened his/her
seatbelt), take the following actions. 
Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than a ch ild restraint system
and its child occupant, although we
strongly recommend th at all children sit in
the rear seat properly restrained.
 Ensure that the backward-forward
position and seatback of front passenger’s
seat are locked into place securely by
moving the seat back and forth.
If still the s eatbelt warning system for front
passenger’s seat does not function
correctly after taking relevant corrective
actions described above, immediately
contact your SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.
▼ Rear passenger’s seats1) Rear seat (left position)

position, the seatbelt warning light and
chime reminds the rear passenger to
fasten their seatbelt by illuminating the
warning lights in the locations indicated in
the above illustration and sounding a
chime.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the
device from functioning correctly or
cause the device to fail. Do not install any accessory such
as a table or TV onto the
seatback. Do not allow the rear seat occu-
pant to place his/her hands or
legs on the front passenger’s
seatback, or allow him/her to pull
the seatback. Do not use front seats with their
backward-forward position and
seatback not being locked into
place securely. If any of them are
not locked securely, adjust them
again. For adjusting procedure,
refer to"Front Seats" P30
WARNING
 The driver must check that the all
passengers have fastened their
seatbelts properly since the
