information, consult you r veterinarian,
local animal protection society or pet
shop.
& Tire pressures
WARNING
Driving at high speeds with exces-
sively low tire pressures can cause
the tires to deform severely and to
rapidly become hot. A sharp in-
crease in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruction of
the tires. The resulting loss of
vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the
pressure of each tire (including the spare)
at least once a month and before any long
journey.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the
tire pressures to the values shown on the
tire placard. For detailed information, refer
to “Tires and wheels” F11-25.
& Attaching accessories
WARNING
. Do not attach any accessories,
labels or stickers (other than
properly placed inspection stick-
ers) to the windshield. Such
items may obstruct your view.
. If it is necessary to attach an
accessory (such as an electronic
toll collection (ETC) device or
security pass) to the windshield,
consult your SUBARU dealer for
details on the proper location.

Instruments and controls/Hazard warning flasher
!Battery drainage prevention func-
tion
When the push-button ignition switch is
left in the “ACC”or “ON ”position for
approximately 1 hour, the push-button
ignition switch will be automatically
switched to “OFF”to prevent the battery
from going dead. This function is activated
when the select lever is in the “P”position.
& When access key does not
operate properly
Refer to “Access key –if access key does
not operate properly ”F 9-18.
Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher is used to
warn other drivers when you have to park
your vehicle under emergency conditions.
The hazard warning flasher 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.
NOTE
When the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
Meters and gauges
NOTE
Liquid 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.
& Combination meter illumina-
tion
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON ”position, the various parts of the
combination meter are illuminated in the
following sequence.
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
needles, gauge needles and liquid crystal
display illuminate.
2. The meter and gauge needles sweep
one time.
3. Dials and indicators in meters and
gauges light up.
4. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins.
3-8

NOTE
This sequence of operations may not
take place if you quickly turn the
ignition switch to start the engine. This
is not a malfunction.
&Canceling the function for
meter/gauge needle move-
ment upon turning on the
ignition switch
It is possible to activate or deactivate the
movement of the meter needles and
gauge needles that takes place when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON ”
position. For details, perform the proce-
dures described in “Gauge Initial Move-
ment ”F 3-44.
& Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed.
&Odometer
1) U.S. spec. models
2) Except U.S. spec. models
This meter displays the odometer when
the ignition switch is in the “ON”position.
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven.
Trip reset switch
If you press the trip reset switch when the
ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF”or
“ ACC ”position, the odometer/trip meter
will light up. If you do not press the trip
reset switch within 10 seconds of illumina-
tion of the odometer/trip meter, the od-
ometer/trip meter will turn off.
Also, if you open and close the driver ’s
door within 10 seconds of illumination of
the odometer/trip meter, the odometer/trip
meter will turn off.
Instruments and controls/Meters and gauges
–CONTINUED –3-9

Instruments and controls/Meters and gauges
&Double trip meter
This meter displays the two trip meters
when the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position.
The trip meter shows the distance that the
vehicle has been driven since you last set
it to zero.
Trip reset switch
If you press the trip reset switch when the
ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF ”or
“ACC ”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 reset
switch within 10 seconds of illumination of
the odometer/trip meter, the odometer/trip
meter will turn off.
Also, if you open and close the driver ’s
door within 10 seconds of illumination of
the odometer/trip meter, the odometer/trip
meter will turn off.
The display can be switched as shown in
the following illustration by pressing the
trip reset switch.
To set the trip meter to zero, select the A
trip or B trip meter by pressing the trip
reset switch and keep the switch pressed
for more than 2 seconds.
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 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
3-10

to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.
NOTE
To protect the engine while the select
lever is in the“P ” or “N ” position (for
CVT models) or the shift lever is in the
neutral position (for MT models), the
engine is controlled so that the engine
speed may not become too high even if
the accelerator pedal is pressed hard.
& Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/ “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).
If you press the trip reset switch while the
ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF ”or
“ACC ”position, the fuel gauge ’s dial will
light up and the needle will indicate the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge needle is indicating
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank,
you (a) do not press the trip reset switch
for 10 seconds or (b) open and close the
driver ’s door, the fuel gauge needle will
drop to the “E”position and the dial and
needle will turn off.
NOTE
You will see the “”sign in the fuel
gauge.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of the
vehicle.
