&Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed. & Odometer/Trip meter
1) Trip meter
2) Odometer
This meter displays the odometer and two
trip meters when the ignition switch is inthe “LOCK ”, “Acc ”or “ON ”position.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK ”position, the
odometer/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. If you do
not press the trip knob within 10 seconds
of illumination of the odometer/trip meter, the odometer/trip meter will go off. !
Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven. ! Double trip meter
The trip meter shows the distance that the
vehicle has been driven since you last set
it to zero.
To change the mode indication, briefly
push the knob.
Each press of the knob changes the
function alternately.
To set the trip meter to zero, select the A
trip or B trip meter by pushing the knob
and keep the knob pushed for more than 2 seconds.
CAUTION
To ensure safety, do not attempt to
change the function of the indicator
during driving, as an accident couldresult.
NOTE
If the connection between the combina-
tion 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. & Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands 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 run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone. Instruments and controls

&Fuel gauge
1) Low fuel warning light
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “LOCK ”
or “Acc ”position, the fuel gauge shows “E ”
even if the fuel tank contains fuel.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel
level movement in the tank. NOTE
You will see the
“”sign in the fuel
gauge meter.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of thevehicle. ! Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light comes on when
the tank is nearly empty [Approximately
2.3 US gal (9.0 liters, 1.9 Imp gal)].
It only operates when the ignition switch is
in the “ON ”position.
NOTE
This light does not go out unless the
tank is replenished up to an internal fuel quantity of approximately 4.0 US
gal (15 liters, 3.3 Imp gal).
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light
comes on. Engine misfires as a
result of an empty tank could cause
damage to the engine.
& Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating range
The 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.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
See the “In case of emergency ”in
chapter 9. &
Outside temperature indica- tor
1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Canada-spec. models
The outside temperature indicator shows
the outside temperature in a range from 22 to 122 8F( 30 to 50 8C).
The indicator can give a false reading
under any of the following conditions: . When there is too much sun.
. During idling; while running at low
speeds in a traffic jam; when the engine
is restarted immediately following a shut- down. . When the actual outside temperature
falls outside the specified indicator range. REV indicator light and buz-
zer (WRX-STI)The REV alarm system issues a warning
using the REV indicator light (and a
buzzer if additionally selected) when the
engine speed reaches a level previously
set using the REV setting knob.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the
“LOCK ”position, the
outside temperature indicator will show

indicator will show the engine-speed setting. .
Counterclockwise ( ): Speed setting
changes downward by 100 rpm. . Clockwise (+): Speed setting
changes upward by 100 rpm.
The speed setting will stop changing if
it reaches 0 rpm or the maximum
engine speed.

The alarm-level engine speed can be set
(in 100 rpm steps) within the range from
2,000 rpm to 7,000 rpm.
The indicator shows the setting as follows:
Speed (rpm) Indication 00 0
2,000 20
2,100 21 ––
7,000 70
Approximately 3 seconds after you stop
turning the knob, the REV alarm system
will automatically enter its next setting
mode (step 3 below), in which you can
activate or deactivate the buzzer.
3. Activate or deactivate the buzzer as
desired using the REV setting knob. .Turn the knob clockwise (+) to
activate the buzzer. The indicator willshow “ON ”, and the buzzer will sound three times. With the buzzer activated,
engine-speed warnings are given by
both the REV indicator light and the
buzzer. .
Turn the knob counterclockwise ( )
to deactivate the buzzer. The indicator
will show “– –”, and the buzzer will not
sound. With the buzzer deactivated,
engine-speed warnings are given only
by the REV indicator light.
Approximately 3 seconds after you stop
turning the knob, the buzzer will sound
once to indicate the end of the setting
procedure. The indicator will return to
showing the outside temperature.
Also, the tachometer needle will return to approximately “0 ”.
NOTE . The REV alarm system does not
operate while settings are being en- tered.. The speed-setting mode terminates
if 0 rpm is selected.. The speed-setting mode is canceled
if the ignition switch is turned to OFF or
the vehicle starts moving before the
setting procedure is finished.. Speed setting is impossible when
the vehicle is moving.. The set engine speed may differ

Front passenger ’s frontal
airbag ON and OFF indica- tors
ON or: Front passenger ’s frontal airbag ON
indicator
or: Front passenger ’s frontal airbag
OFF indicator
The front passenger ’s frontal airbag ON
and OFF indicators show you the status of
the front passenger ’s SRS frontal airbag.
The indicators are located next to the
clock in the center portion of the dash-board.
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ ON ”position, both the ON and OFF
indicators illuminate for 6 seconds during
which time the system is checked. Follow-
ing the system check, both indicators extinguish for 2 seconds. After that, one
of the indicators illuminates depending on
the status of the front passenger
’s SRS
frontal airbag determined by the Subaru
advanced frontal airbag system monitor-ing.
If the front passenger ’s SRS frontal airbag
is activated, the passenger ’s frontal airbag
ON indicator will illuminate while the OFF
indicator will remain extinguished.
If the front passenger ’s SRS frontal airbag
is deactivated, the passenger ’s frontal
airbag ON indicator will remain extin-
guished while the OFF indicator willilluminate.
With the ignition switch turned to the “ON ”
position, if both the ON and OFF indica-
tors remain lit or extinguished simulta-
neously even after the system check
period, the system is faulty. Contact your
SUBARU dealer immediately for an in-spection. Instruments and controls

illuminates if a malfunction occurs in the
EBD system. In that event, it comes on
together with the ABS warning light.
The EBD system may be malfunctioning if
the brake system warning light and ABS
warning light illuminate simultaneously
during driving.
Even if the EBD system fails, the conven-
tional braking system will still function.
However, the rear wheels will be more
prone to locking when the brakes are
applied harder than usual and the vehi-cle’s motion may therefore become some-
what harder to control.
If the brake system warning light and ABS
warning light illuminate simultaneously,
take the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe,
flat place.
2. Shut down the engine, apply the
parking brake and then restart it.
3. Release the parking brake. If both
warning lights go out, the EBD system
may be faulty. Drive carefully to the
nearest SUBARU dealer and have the
system inspected.
4. If both warning lights come on again
and stay illuminated after the engine has
been restarted, shut down the engine
again, apply the parking brake, and check
the brake fluid level. 5. If the brake fluid level is not below the“
MIN ”mark, the EBD system may be
faulty. Drive carefully to the nearest
SUBARU dealer and have the systeminspected.
6. If the brake fluid level is below the “ MIN ”mark, DO NOT drive the vehicle.
Instead, have the vehicle towed to the
nearest SUBARU dealer for repair.
& Door open warning light
The door open warning light comes on if
any door or the rear gate is not fullyclosed.
Always make sure this light is out before
you start to drive. &All-Wheel Drive warn-
ing light (AWD AT vehicles –if equipped)

on when the ignition switch is turned to the“ON ”position and goes out after the
engine has started.
This light comes on when All-Wheel Drive
is disengaged and the drive mechanism is
switched to Front Wheel Drive for main-
tenance or similar purposes (Non-turbo vehicles). It flashes if the vehicle is driven with tires
of differing diameters fitted on the wheels
or with an excessively low air pressure in
any of the tires.
CAUTION
Continuing to drive with the AWD
warning light flashing can damage
the powertrain. If the AWD warning
light starts to flash, promptly park in
a safe place and check whether the
tires have differing diameters and
whether any of the tires has an
excessively low inflation pressure.
& Intercooler water spray
warning light (WRX-STI)
This light comes on when the water level
in the intercooler water spray tank falls to
the lower limit (approximately 0.4 US qt,

WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
. Do not operate the washer con-
tinuously for more than 10 sec-
onds, or when the washer fluid
tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level
frequently, such as at fuel stops.
. Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield or rear window is
dry. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades and
cause the wiper motor to burn
out. Before operating the wiper
on a dry windshield or rear
window, always use the wind-
shield washer. .
In freezing weather, be sure that
the wiper blades are not frozen to
the windshield or rear window
before switching on the wipers.
Attempting to operate the wiper
with the blades frozen to the
window glass could cause not
only the wiper blades to be
damaged but also the wiper mo-
tor to burn out. If the wiper
blades are frozen to the window
glass, be sure to operate the
defroster, windshield wiper dei-
cer (if equipped) or rear window
defogger before turning on the
wiper.
. If the wipers stop during opera-
tion because of ice or some other
obstruction on the window, the
wiper motor could burn out even
if the wiper switch is turned off. If
this occurs, promptly stop the
vehicle in a safe place, turn the
ignition switch to the “LOCK ”
position and clean the window
glass to allow proper wiper op-eration.
. Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in
winter, use SUBARU Windshield
Washer Fluid or the equivalent.
