NOTEYou will see the “
”sign in the fuel
gauge.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of the
vehicle.
! Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light comes on when
the tank is nearly empty [Approximately
2.6 US gal (10 liters, 2.2 lmp gal)].
It only operates when the ignition switch is
in the “ON”position.NOTEThis 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 lmp gal).
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light
comes on. Engine misfires as a
result of an empty tank could cause
damage to the engine.&
Temperature gauge1) Normal operating range
2) S# PREP indicator lightThe temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON”position. The coolant temperature will vary in
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.
When the engine is not warmed up
sufficiently, the S# PREP indicator light
turns on. While this indicator light is on,
the SI-DRIVE mode cannot be changed to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode. For details
about the SI-DRIVE mode, refer to the
“SI-
DRIVE (Turbo models) ”section in chapter
7.
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.

Canada-spec. vehiclesIf the driving range is shown as “
”,
there is only a tiny amount of fuel left in the
tank. You must refuel the vehicle immedi-
ately.
NOTEThe driving range on remaining fuel is
only a guide. The indicated value may
differ from the actual driving range on
remaining fuel, so you must immedi-
ately fill the tank when the low fuel
warning light comes on.
& Clock (Vehicle with Naviga-
tion System)
NOTEIf your vehicle is a non-turbo model
equipped with a navigation system,
refer to the separate “Operating In-
structions for Monitor System ”.For turbo models equipped with a naviga-
tion system, the clock can show the time.
The time shown by the clock receives the
time information from the navigation sys-
tem. To adjust the time shown by the
clock, refer to the separate “Operating
Instructions for Monitor System ”and
adjust the time of the navigation system.
CAUTION
To ensure safety, do not attempt to
set the time during driving, as an
accident could result.& SI-DRIVE display1) Sport Sharp (S#) mode*

This warning message indicates a mulfunction of the “SI-DRIVE mode ”
change. If this warning message is shown on the display, contact your
nearest SUBARU dealer and have the SI-DRIVE mode system inspected.
The display shows the interruptive warning message for 3 seconds.Engine coolant temperature warning
When the engine coolant temperature reaches 248 8F (120 8C), this warning
message is indicated. If this warning message is displayed, refer to the
“Engine overheating ”section in chapter 9 for details the necessary measures.
The display shows the interruptive warning message for 3 seconds.

Starting and operating
4. Insert the screwdriver into the hole.
5. Push down on the screwdriver and
move the selector lever from the “P”to the
“N ”position.
6. Remove the screwdriver from the hole.
Depress the brake pedal and start the
engine.
Take your vehicle to the nearest SUBARU
dealer immediately to have the system
repaired.
Automatic transmission –5-
speedThe automatic transmission is electroni-
cally controlled and provides 5 forward
speeds and 1 reverse speed. Also, it has a
manual mode.
For turbo models, it also has an SI-DRIVE
mode.
For non-turbo models, it also has a
SPORT mode.
WARNING
Do not shift from the “P ” or “N ”
position into the “D ” or “R ” position
while depressing the accelerator
pedal. This may cause the vehicle
to jump forward or backward.
CAUTION
. Shift into the “P ” or “R ” position
only after the vehicle is comple-
tely stopped. Shifting while the
vehicle is moving may cause
damage to the transmission.
. Do not race the engine for more
than five seconds in any position
except the “N ” or “P ” position
when the brake is set or when chocks are used in the wheels.
This may cause the automatic
transmission fluid to overheat.
. Avoid shifting from one of the
forward driving positions into the
“ R ” position or vice versa until
the vehicle has completely
stopped. Such shifting may
cause damage to the transmis-
sion.
. When parking the vehicle, first
securely apply the parking brake
and then place the selector lever
in the “P ” position. Avoid parking
for a long time with the selector
lever in any other position as
doing so could result in a dead
battery.
NOTE. When the engine coolant tempera-
ture is still low, your vehicle ’s auto-
matic transmission will up-shift at
higher engine speeds than when the
coolant temperature is sufficiently high
in order to shorten the warm-up time
and improve driveability. The gearshift
timing will automatically shift to the
normal timing after the engine has
warmed up.
. Immediately after ATF (automatic

SI-DRIVE (Turbo models)SI-DRIVE (Subaru Intelligent Drive) works
to maximize engine performance, control
and efficiency.
This system consists of three modes:
Intelligent (I), Sport (S), and Sport Sharp
(S#). By adjusting the SI-DRIVE selector,
the character of the power unit changes.
The multi-information display located in
the tachometer provides the driver with
the ability to monitor both vehicle perfor-
mance and the current SI-DRIVE mode.
To change the multi-information display,
refer to the “Multi-information display
(Turbo models) ”in chapter 3.
& Intelligent (I) modeFor smooth, efficient performance driv-
ingThe Intelligent (I) mode provides well-
balanced performance with greater fuel
efficiency and smooth driveability without
stress. Power delivery is moderate during
acceleration for maximum fuel efficiency.
This is ideal for around-town driving and
situations that do not require full power
output. It provides better control in difficult
driving conditions, such as slippery roads
or loose surfaces, due to gentler throttle
response.
When Intelligent (I) mode is selected in
vehicles equipped with a manual trans-
mission, a shift-up indicator “
”in the
tachometer will blink to signal the best
time to shift gears for maximum fuel
efficiency.

& Sport (S) modeFor all-around performance drivingThe Sport (S) mode provides the engine
power desired by those who want to make
the driving experience their own personal
adventure.
The linear acceleration characteristic of
this versatile mode is ideal for driving on
freeways and suburban streets or for
climbing mountain roads.
&Sport Sharp (S#) modeFor maximum performance drivingFor sports-minded drivers, the Sport
Sharp (S#) mode offers an exhilarating
level of engine performance and control.
The throttle becomes more responsive
regardless of the engine speed. Delivering
maximum driving enjoyment, this mode is
ideal for tackling twisting roads and for
merging or overtaking other vehicles on
the freeway with confidence.&SI-DRIVE selectorWhen you rotate the SI-DRIVE selector to
the left, it changes to Sport (S) mode, and
when you rotate it to the right, it changes
to Sport Sharp (S#) mode, and when you
push it, it changes to Intelligent (I) mode. After performing this operation, the switch
returns to its original location.
NOTE.
While the engine is cool, the S#
PREP indicator light of the temperature
gauge comes on. In this case, you
cannot change to Sport Sharp (S#)
mode.
