Instruments and controls
!
Selector lever position indicator (AT
vehicles)
This indicator shows the position of the selector lever. ! Turn signal indicator lights
These lights show the operation of the turn signal or
lane change signal.
If the indicator lights do not blink or blink rapidly, the
turn signal bulb may be burned out. Replace the bulb
as soon as possible. Refer to the “Replacing bulbs”
section in chapter 11. !
High beam indicator light
This light shows that the headlights are in the high
beam mode.
This indicator light also comes on when the headlight
flasher is operated. ! Cruise control indicator light
This light comes on when the “CRUISE” main switch
is pressed. ! Cruise control set indicator light
This light comes on when vehicle speed has been set.! Driver’s control center differen-
tial auto indicator light (WRX-STi)
This light functions while the ignition switch is ON.
When on, it indicates that the driver’s control center
differential is set to AUTO mode. It goes off when the
driver’s control center differential’s manual modeswitch is pressed. For details, refer to Chapter 7, “Driv-
er’s Control Center Differential (DCCD) (WRX-STi)”.

High/low beam change (dimmer)
To change from low beam to high beam, push the turn
signal lever forward. When the headlights are on high
beam, the high beam indicator light “ ” on the in-
strument panel is also on.
To switch back to low beam, pull the lever back to the
detent position. !
Headlight flasher
To flash the headlights, pull the lever toward you and
then release it. The high beam will stay on for as long
as you hold the lever. The headlight flasher works
even though the lighting switch is in the “OFF” posi- tion.
When the headlights are on high beam, the high beam
indicator light “ ” on the instrument panel also
comes on.
Do not hold the lever in the flashing position for

Illumination brightness control
(WRX-STi)
The brightness of the combination meter can be ad-
justed in five steps with the headlight switch either the
OFF position or the “ ” or “ ” position.
When the control dial is turned upward or downward,
the instrument panel’s illumination brightness is indi-
cated by the trip meter. The brightness is shown in five
steps from “ ” (dimmest) to “ ” (brightest).
If the control dial is not turned for three seconds, the
trip meter returns to its original trip meter indication. Headlight beam leveler (U.S. spec. WRX-STi)
The WRX-STi version has High-Intensity Discharge
(HID) headlights on the low beam setting. The HID
headlights generate more light than conventional halo-
gen headlights. Therefore a driver of an oncoming ve-
hicle may experience too much glare when your head-
light beam height adjustment is high due to the vehicle
carrying heavy load.
The headlight beam leveler can be used to adjust
beam height to avoid such a condition.
The higher the number the knob is turned to, the lower

Headlights (U.S. spec. WRX-STi)
High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs are used
for the low beams of the headlights on the U.S.
spec. WRX-STi. These HID bulbs use an ex-
tremely high voltage. To avoid the risk of an
electric shock and resulting serious injury, you
should not attempt to replace them. Neither
should you attempt to replace the high-beam
bulbs, remove/refit the headlight assemblies,
or remove any headlight-assembly compo-
nents. For replacement of the headlight bulbs
(low-beam and high-beam), removal and instal-
lation of the headlight assemblies, and removal
of headlight-assembly components, contact
your Subaru dealer.
! Headlight (Except U.S. spec. WRX-STi)
Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while
in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare
hands or greasy gloves, finger prints or grease on the bulb surface will develop into hot spots
and cause the bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them
away with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
NOTE "
If headlight aiming is required, consult your
SUBARU dealer for proper adjustment of the head-
light aim. " It may be difficult to replace the bulbs. Have
your SUBARU dealer replace the bulbs if neces-
sary. ! Low beam light bulbs
