Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher is used to warn other driv-
ers when you have to park your vehicle under emer-
gency conditions. The hazard warning flasher works
with the ignition switch in any position.
To turn on the hazard warning flasher, push the haz-
ard warning button on the instrument 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 (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 MAX
position.
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 outside temperature indicator will show“ON” or “– –”.

REV indicator light and buzzer (WRX-
STi)
The REV alarm system issues a warning using the
REV indicator light (and a buzzer if additionally select-
ed) 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 the engine speed that has already been set.
NOTE
Even if the REV alarm system is not set, the REV
indicator light will come on whenever the engine 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 outside temperature indicator will
show the engine-speed setting. yCounterclockwise (–) for less than 0.5 second:
Speed setting changes downward by 100 rpm.
