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,
push the hazard warning button on the in-
strument panel. To turn off the flasher,
push 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 po-
larized 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
rims, meter needles, odometer, trip meter,
and gauge back lights illuminate.
2. Meter needles and gauges each show
MAX reading.
3. Meter needles and gauges each show
MIN reading.
4. Meter and gauge dials illuminate.
5. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins. „
Canceling the function for
meter needle/gauge move-
ment and combination meter
sequential illumination upon
turning on the ignition switch
It is possible to activate or deactivate the
movement of the meter needles and
gauges and sequential illumination of the
combination meter that takes place when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po- sition.
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” posi-
tion. With the A trip meter indication se-
lected, briefly press the trip knob twice.
You can now establish the activated/deac-
tivated setting for movement of the meter
needles and gauges when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position. To

change the current setting, press the trip
knob for at least two seconds.
: Activated : Deactivated
With the function deactivated, the combi-
nation meter illuminates as follows:
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
rims, meter needles, odometer, trip meter,
and gauge back lights illuminate.
2. Meter and gauge dials illuminate.
3. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins.
Briefly press the trip knob again. You can
now establish the activated/deactivated
setting for sequential illumination of the
combination meter when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position. To change the current setting, press the trip
knob for at least two seconds.
: Activated : Deactivated
Briefly press the knob to return to the A trip
meter indication.
If you turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position, or open and close the
driver’s door during the setting procedure,
the new setting will be canceled.
Also, if you do not press the trip knob for a
period of 10 seconds, the new setting will
be canceled.
NOTE y It is not possible to cancel sequential
illumination of the combination meter
while sequential illumination is actual-
ly taking place. Cancel sequential illu-
mination when regular illumination (for
driving) has begun.y When you open the driver’s door
with the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position, the meters’ needles and rims
are lit. The illumination stops working
when you shut the driver’s door or au-
tomatically after 30 seconds. „
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed. „ Odometer
This meter displays the odometer when
the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”, “ACC”
or “ON” position.
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position,
the odometer/trip meter will light up. If you
do not press the trip knob within 10 sec-
onds of illumination of the odometer/trip
meter, the odometer/trip meter will go off.
The odometer/trip meter will also go off if

gine 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.
Warning and indicator lights
Several of the warning and indicator lights
come on momentarily and then go out
when the ignition switch is initially turned
to the “ON” position. This permits check-
ing the operation of the bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the igni-
tion switch to the “ON” position. The fol-
lowing lights come on:
: Driver’s seatbelt warning light
(The seatbelt warning light goes out only
when the driver fastens the seatbelt.)
: Front passenger’s seatbelt warn-
ing light (The seatbelt warning light goes
out only when the front seat passenger
fastens the seatbelt.)

„ Seatbelt warning light and chime
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt
warning device at the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat.
With the ignition switch turned to the “ON”
position, this device reminds the driver
and front passenger to fasten their seat-
belts by illuminating the warning lights in
the locations indicated in the following il-
lustrations and sounding a chime. Driver’s warning light
Front passenger’s warning light
T Operation
If the driver and/or front passenger have/ has not yet fastened the seatbelt(s) when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition, the seatbelt warning light(s) will
flash for 6 seconds, to warn that the seat-
belt(s) is/are unfastened. If the driver’s
seatbelt is not fastened, a chime will also
sound simultaneously.
If the driver’s and/or front passenger’s
seatbelt(s) are/is still not fastened 6 sec-
onds later, both warning lights or the
warning light for the unfastened seatbelt
will remain lit for 15 seconds. If the driver’s
and/or front passenger’s seatbelt(s) are/is still not fastened even 15 seconds later
(21 seconds after turning ON the ignition
switch), the warning lights will alternate
between flashing and steady illumination
at 15-second intervals, and the chime will
sound while the warning light(s) is/are
flashing.
Alternate flashing and steady illumination
of the warning lights and sounding of the
chime will continue until both driver and
front passenger fasten their seatbelts.
NOTE y
If the driver and/or front passenger
unfasten(s) the seatbelt(s) after fasten-
ing, the seatbelt warning device oper-
ates as follows according to the vehi-
cle speed. yAt speeds lower than approximate-
ly 9 mph (15 km/h)

warning light illuminate simultaneously,
take the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe, flat
place.
2. Shut down the engine, 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 system in-
spected.
6. If the brake fluid level is below the
“MIN” mark, DO NOT drive the vehicle. In-
stead, have the vehicle towed to the near-
est SUBARU dealer for repair. „
Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light comes on when
the tank is nearly empty approximately 2.6
US gal (10 liters, or 2.2 Imp gal). It only op-
erates 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). „ Door open warning light
The indicators are located in the center
portion of the dashboard.
When any of the doors or the rear gate is
not fully closed, it is indicated by the corre-
sponding part of the door warning light.
Always make sure this light is out before
you start to drive. „
Windshield washer fluid
warning light
This light comes on when the fluid level in
the windshield washer fluid tank falls to
the lower limit (approximately 0.6 US qt,
0.6 liter, 0.5 Imp qt). „ All-Wheel Drive warn-
ing light
The All-Wheel Drive warning light comes
on when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and goes out after the en-
gine has started.
This light flashes if the vehicle is driven
with tires of different diameters fitted on its
wheels or with the air pressure excessive-
ly low in any of its tires.
300505
Continued driving with the AWD
warning light flashing can lead to
powertrain damage. If the AWD
warning light flashes, promptly park
in a safe place then check whether
all four tires are the same diameter
and whether any of the tires has a
puncture or has lost air pressure for
some other reason.
