accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine 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.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
See the “In case of emergency ”in
chapter 9. &
Outside temperature indica- tor
1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Canada-spec. models
The outside temperature indicator shows
the outside temperature in a range from 22 to 122 8F( 30 to 50 8C).
The indicator can give a false reading
under any of the following conditions: . When there is too much sun.
. During idling; while running at low
speeds in a traffic jam; when the engine
is restarted immediately following a shut- down. . When the actual outside temperature
falls outside the specified indicator range. REV indicator light and buz-
zer (WRX-STI)The REV alarm system issues a warning
using the REV indicator light (and a
buzzer if additionally selected) 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 beenset. Instruments and controls

NOTE
Even if the REV alarm system is not set,
the REV indicator light will come on
whenever the engine speed enters thetachometer ’s red zone.
& Setting the alarm-level en-
gine speed
1. Turn the REV setting knob clockwise
or counterclockwise, then release it and
let it return to its initial position. The buzzer
will sound. The REV alarm system 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. .
Counterclockwise ( ): Speed setting
changes downward by 100 rpm. . Clockwise (+): Speed setting
changes upward by 100 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 the range from
2,000 rpm to 7,000 rpm.
The indicator shows the setting as follows:
Speed (rpm) Indication 00 0
2,000 20
2,100 21 ––
7,000 70
Approximately 3 seconds after you stop
turning the knob, the REV alarm system
will automatically enter its next setting
mode (step 3 below), in which you can
activate or deactivate the buzzer.
3. Activate or deactivate the buzzer as
desired using the REV setting knob. .Turn the knob clockwise (+) to
activate the buzzer. The indicator willshow “ON ”, and the buzzer will sound three times. With the buzzer activated,
engine-speed warnings are given by
both the REV indicator light and the
buzzer. .
Turn the knob counterclockwise ( )
to deactivate the buzzer. The indicator
will show “– –”, and the buzzer will not
sound. With the buzzer deactivated,
engine-speed warnings are given only
by the REV indicator light.
Approximately 3 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 outside temperature.
Also, the tachometer needle will return to approximately “0 ”.
NOTE . The REV alarm system does not
operate while settings are being en- tered.. The speed-setting mode terminates
if 0 rpm is selected.. The speed-setting mode is canceled
if the ignition 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 roughguide. &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. Meters and gauges (Except WRX-STI) 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. &
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed. & Odometer/Trip meter
1) Trip meter
2) Odometer This meter displays the odometer and two
trip meters. !
Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven. ! Double trip meter
The trip meter shows the distance that the
vehicle has been driven since you last set
it to zero.
To change the mode indication, briefly
push the knob.
Each press of the knob changes the
function alternately.
