Meters and gauges (WRX-STi) !Combination meter illumination
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position,
the various parts of the combination meter are illumi-
nated in the following sequence:
1. Meter needles and gauge needles light up.
2. Meter needles and gauge needles each show MAXposition.
3. Meter needles and gauge needles each show MIN
position, and REV indicator flashes.
4. Dials and indicators in meters and gauges light up.
5. “STi” mark lights up.
6. Regular illumination (for driving) begins. ! Cancelling sequential illumination of
the combination meter
With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, it is pos-
sible to cancel sequential illumination of the combina-
tion meter.
Press the trip knob while turning the REV setting knob
clockwise or counterclockwise. The buzzer will sound
briefly, and the ambient temperature gauge will show
“ON” or “– –”.
ON : sequential illumination – – : sequential illumination cancelled
The setting toggles between “ON” and “– –” each time
the trip knob is pressed.
Return the REV setting knob to its original position to
complete the setting process. The buzzer will sound
briefly. A few seconds later, the ambient temperature
gauge will return to showing the ambient temperature.
NOTE
It is not possible to cancel sequential illumination
of the combination meter while sequential illumi-
nation is actually taking place. Cancel sequential
illumination when regular illumination (for driving)
has begun. !
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed.

speed enters the tachometer’s red zone. !Setting the alarm-level engine speed
1. Turn the REV setting knob clockwise or counter-
clockwise, then release it and let it return to its initial
position. The buzzer will sound. The REV alarm sys-
tem is now ready to be set.
2. Turn the REV setting knob to select the desired
alarm-level engine speed.
At this time, the ambient temperature gauge will show
the engine-speed setting. "Counterclockwise ( −) for less than 0.5 second:
Speed setting changes downward by 100 rpm. "
Clockwise (+) for less than 0.5 second: Speed
setting changes upward by 100 rpm." Counterclockwise ( −) for 0.5 second or longer:
Speed setting changes downward by 1,000 rpm. " Clockwise (+) for 0.5 second or longer: Speed
setting changes upward by 1,000 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 a range from 2000 rpm to 7500 rpm.
The indicator shows the setting as follows:
Approximately three seconds after you stop turning
the knob, the REV alarm system will automatically en-
ter its next setting mode (step 3 below), in which you
can enable or disable the buzzer.
3. Enable or disable the buzzer as desired using the REV setting knob. "Turn the knob clockwise (+) to enable the buzzer.
The indicator will show “ON”, and the buzzer will
sound three times. With the buzzer enabled, en-

gine-speed warnings are given by both the REV in-
dicator light and the buzzer. "
Turn the knob counterclockwise ( −) to disable the
buzzer. The indicator will show “– –”, and the buzzer
will not sound. With the buzzer disabled, engine-
speed warnings are given only by the REV indicator
light.
Approximately three 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 ambient temperature.
Also, the tachometer needle will return to approxi- mately “0”.
NOTE " The REV alarm system does not operate while
settings are being entered. " The speed-setting mode terminates if 0 rpm is
selected." The speed-setting mode is canceled if the igni-
tion 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 from the engine
speed shown by the tachometer. Use the engine
speed shown by the tachometer as a rough guide. !
Deactivating the REV alarm system
To deactivate the REV alarm system’s REV indicator
light and buzzer functions, set the alarm-level engine
speed to 0 (zero) rpm.

Heating
To direct warm air toward the floor:
1. Set the air inlet selection lever to the “ ” po-sition.
2. Set the air flow control dial to the “ ” position.
3. Set the temperature control dial to the most com-
fortable level.
4. Set the fan speed control dial to the desired speed.
NOTE
Warm air also comes out from the right and left air
outlets. To stop warm air flow from these outlets,
turn the corresponding knob clockwise. !
Bi-level heating
This setting allows you to direct air of different temper-
atures from the instrument panel and foot outlets. The
air from the foot outlets is slightly warmer than from the
instrument panel outlets.
1. Set the air inlet selection lever to the “ ” po-sition.
2. Set the air flow control dial to the “ ” position.
3. Set the temperature control dial to the desired tem-perature level.
4. Set the fan speed control dial to the desired speed.
Setting the temperature control dial fully turned to the
red area or blue area decreases the temperature dif-

NOTE "To heat the passenger compartment rapidly, set
the air temperature control dial to the 85 (30) posi-
tion and the air inlet selection button to the ON po-
sition. When the passenger compartment has
warmed up sufficiently, return the air inlet selec-
tion button to the OFF position. " Warm air also comes out from the right and left
air outlets. To stop warm air flow from these out-
lets, turn the corresponding knob clockwise. !
Rapid cooling
To cool the passenger compartment rapidly, make the
following settings:
1. Fan speed control dial: All the way to the right
2. Air flow control dial: “ ” position
3. Air temperature control dial: 65 (20) position
4. Air inlet selection button: ON position
5. Air conditioner button: ON position
NOTE
From time to time, return the air inlet selection but-
ton to the OFF position to draw outside air into the
passenger compartment.

NOTE "For rapid defrosting or defogging, set the fan
speed control dial to the highest speed position. " If air supplied from the outlets is too cold, the
windshield may become fogged on the outside.
Turn up the air temperature control dial slightly if
this happens." Warm air also comes out from the right and left
air outlets. To stop warm air flow from these out-
lets, turn the corresponding knob clockwise. ! Heating and defrosting
To direct warm air toward the floor and windshield,
make the following settings: 1. Fan speed control dial: desired position
2. Air flow control dial: position
3. Air temperature control dial: in 75 – 85 (25 – 30)
range
When the dial is placed in the “ ” position, the air
conditioner compressor operates automatically to de-
fog the windshield quickly. At the same time, the air in-
let selection is automatically set to “outside air” mode.
However, the air conditioner does not operate auto-
matically when the dial is placed in the “ ” position
after the dial has been placed in the “ ” position
and the air conditioner has been turned off manually.

Turn up the air temperature control dial slightly if
this happens. " Warm air also comes out from the right and left

Manual tuning (TUNE)
: Tuning to a higher frequency
: Tuning to a lower frequency
Turn the tuning knob (4) clockwise and release it im-
mediately to increase the tuning frequency and turn
the tuning knob counterclockwise and release it imme-
diately to decrease the tuning frequency.
Each time the knob is turned, the frequency changes
10 kHz in the AM waveband and 0.2 MHz in the FM
waveband.
If you turn the tuning knob (4) clockwise and hold it in
that position, the tuning frequency will increase contin-
uously. If you turn the tuning knob counterclockwise and hold it in that position, the tuning frequency will de-
crease continuously. Release the knob to stop the in-
crease or decrease. !
Automatic tuning (SCAN)
Press the “SCAN” button (3) to change the radio to the
SCAN mode. In this mode, the radio scans through the
radio band until a station is found. The radio will stop
at the station for five seconds while displaying the fre-
quency, after which scanning will continue until the en-
tire band has been scanned from the low end to the
high end.
Press the “SCAN” button again to cancel the SCAN
mode and to stop on any displayed frequency.
When the “SCAN” button is pressed for automatic tun-
ing, stations are scanned in the direction of low fre-
quencies to high frequencies only.
Automatic tuning may not function properly if the sta-
tion reception is weakened by distance from the sta-
tion or proximity to tall buildings and hills. ! Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a preset button (5) allows you
to select that station in a single operation. Up to six
AM, FM1 and FM2 stations each may be preset. ! How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM/AM” selection button to select AM,
