CAUTION
To ensure safety, do not attempt to change the
function of the indicator during driving, as an
accident could result.
NOTE If the connection between the combination meter
and battery is broken for any reason such as ve-hicle maintenance or fuse replacement, the datarecorded on the trip meter will be lost. Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed in thou-
sands of revolutions per minute.
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 overrev-ving. The engine will resume running normallyafter the engine speed is reduced below thered zone.
Fuel gauge
HG3007BB
1) Low fuel warning light
The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of
fuel remaining in the tank.
The gauge does not return to “E” even though the
ignition switch is in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turn- ing or acceleration due to fuel level movement in the tank.

In case of emergency

HB8003BC
1) Spare fuse
2) FWD connector
NOTE
(If your vehicle is AWD with automatic transmis-
sion, except Turbo models) Before driving your
vehicle with the temporary spare tire, put a sparefuse inside the FWD connector in the main fusebox located in the engine compartment and con-firm that the Front-wheel drive warning light
“FWD” in the combination meter comes on. The
all wheel drive capability of the vehicle has now
deactivated. After re-installing the conventionaltire, remove the spare fuse from the FWD con-nector in order to reactivate all wheel drive.
CAUTION
Never use any temporary spare tire other than the original. Using other sizes may result in
severe mechanical damage to the drive train of your vehicle.

Maintenance and service

Do not splash the engine coolant over
painted parts. The alcohol contained in the en- gine coolant may damage the paint surface.
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 temperature gauge ex-
ceeds the normal operating range, the cooling fan
circuit may be defective. Check the fuse and re-
place it if necessary. If the fuse is not blown, havethe cooling system checked by your SUBARU deal-
er.
If frequent addition of coolant is necessary, there
may be a leak in the engine cooling system. It is rec-
ommended that the cooling system and connectionsbe checked for leaks, damage, or looseness.
Engine coolant
Checking the coolant level
Check the coolant level at each fuel stop.
HGB001CB
1) “FULL” level mark
2) “LOW” level mark
1. Check the coolant level on the outside of the res- ervoir 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.

1) Cap
2) Upper level 3) Lower level
It is unnecessary to periodically check the battery
fluid level or periodically refill with distilled water.
However, if the battery fluid level is below the lower
level, remove the cap. Fill to the upper level with dis-
tilled water. Fuses
CAUTION
Never replace a fuse with one having a higher
rating or with material other than a fuse be-
cause serious damage or a fire could result.
The fuses are designed to melt during an overload
to prevent damage to the wiring harness and electri-
cal equipment. The fuses are located in two fuseboxes.
HGB006BA
The one is located under the instrument panel be- hind the fuse box cover on the driver ’s seat side.

The other one is housed in the engine compartment.
HS0208
1) Fuse puller 2) Spare fuse
The fuse puller and spare fuses are stored in the main fuse box cover in the engine compartment.
If any lights, accessories or other electrical controls
do not operate, inspect the corresponding fuse. If a
fuse has blown, replace it.
HS0204
A) Good B) Blown
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
and turn off all electrical accessories.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Determine which fuse may be blown. The backside of each fuse box cover and the “Fuse and cir-
cuits” section in chapter 12 in this manual show the
circuit for each fuse.

1) Fuse puller
4. Pull out the fuse with the fuse puller.
5. Inspect the fuse. If it has blown, replace it with a
spare fuse of the same rating.
6. If the same fuse blows again, this indicates that
its system has a problem. Contact your SUBARU
dealer for repairs. Main fuseHB8003CA
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt during an over-
load 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 replacementswith the same specified rating as the melted main
fuse. If a main fuse blows after it is replaced, have
the electrical system checked by your nearest
SUBARU dealer.
