■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

CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.Refer to "Engine Overheating"

NOTEWhen the control dial is turned fully
upward, the illumination brightness
becomes the maximum and the auto-
matic dimming function does not work
at all.
 The brightness setting is not
canceled even when the ignition switch
is turned to th e “OFF” position.■Auto Dimmer Cancel Func -
tionWhen the ambient light is bright, the illumi-
nation brightness is set to the maximum
regardless of the position of the control
dial. In this case, you cannot adjust the
illumination brightness by using the
control dial. When the ambient light is
dark, you can dim the illumination bright-
ness as described above.
The operational/non-operational setting
and sensitivity of the auto dimmer cancel
function can be changed by your
SUBARU dealer. Contact your SUBARU
dealer for details.
3-6. Warning and Indicator LightsSeveral of the warning and indicator lights
illuminate momentarily and then go out
when the ignition switch is initially turned
to the “ON” position. This permits
checking the operation of the bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the igni-
tion switch to the “ON” position. For the
system check, the following lights illumi-
nate and turn off after several seconds or
after the engine has started:
: Seatbelt warning light (The seatbelt
warning light turns off only when the
driver fastens the seatbelt.)
: Front passenger’s seatbelt warning
light (The seatbelt warning light turns
off only when the front seat passenger
fastens the seatbelt.)
: Rear passenger’s seatbelt warning
light (The seatbelt warning light turns
off only when the rear seat
passenger fastens the seatbelt.)
: SRS airbag system warning light
: Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON
indicator light
: Front passenger’s frontal airbag OFF
indicator light
/ : CHECK ENGINE warning light/ Malfunction indicator light : Coolant temperature high warning

light (red)

: Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) OFF
indicator light
: TRAC OFF indicator light / :Brake system warning light (red)
:Power steering warning light
: Low tire pressure warning light (if
equipped)
: Low fuel warning light :Master warning light
If any lights fail to i lluminate, it indicates a
burned-out bulb or a malfunction of the
corresponding system.
Consult your authorized SUBARU dealer
for repair.

Warning and Indicator Lights
136■CHECK ENGINE 
Warning Light/
Malfunction Indicator LightIf this light illuminates steadily or blinks
while the engine is running, it may indicate
that there is at least one problem or poten-
tial problem somewhere in the emission
control system.
▼ If the light illuminates constantly
If the light illuminates constantly while
driving or does not turn off after the engine
starts, an emission control system
malfunction has been detected.
We recommend that you have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
SUBARU dealer immediately.
NOTEThis light also illuminates when the
fuel filler cap is not tightened until it
clicks.
If you have recently refueled your vehicle,
the cause of the CHECK ENGINE warning
light/malfunction indicator light coming on
could be a loose or missing fuel filler cap.
Remove the cap and retighten it until it
clicks. Make sure not hing is interfering
with the sealing of the cap. Tightening the
cap will not make the CHECK ENGINE
warning light/malfunction indicator light
turn off immediately. It may take several
driving trips. If the light does not turn off,
take your vehicle to your authorized
SUBARU dealer immediately.
▼ If the light is blinking
If the light is blinking while driving, an
engine misfire condition has been
detected which may damage the emission
control system.
To prevent serious damage to the emis-
sion control system, you should conform
to the following instructions.
 Reduce vehicle speed.
 Avoid hard acceleration.
 Avoid steep uphill grades.
 Reduce the amount of cargo, if
possible. The CHECK ENGINE warning light/

This coolant temperature low indicator
light/coolant temper ature high warning
light has the following three functions.
 Illumination in BLUE indicates insuffi-
cient warming up of the engine
 Blinking in RED indicates that the
engine is close to overheating
 Illumination in RED indicates over-
heating condition of the engine
For the system check, this indicator light/
warning light illuminates in RED for
approximately 2 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position.
After that, this indicator light/warning light
changes to BLUE and maintains illumina- tion in
BLUE. This BLUE illuminated light
turns off when the engine is warmed up
sufficiently.
If the engine coolant temperature
increases over the specified range, the
indicator light/warning light blinks in RED.
