Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher is used to
warn other drivers when you have to park
your vehicle under emergency conditions.
The hazard warning flasher works with the
ignition switch in any position.
To turn on the hazard warning flasher,
push the hazard warning button on the in-
strument 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
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 po-
larized glasses. „Combination meter illumina- tion
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the various parts of the
combination meter are illuminated in the
following sequence:
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
rims, meter needles, odometer, trip meter,
and gauge back lights illuminate.
2. Meter needles and gauges each show
MAX reading.
3. Meter needles and gauges each show
MIN reading.
4. Meter and gauge dials illuminate.
5. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins. „
Canceling the function for
meter needle/gauge move-
ment and combination meter
sequential illumination upon
turning on the ignition switch
It is possible to activate or deactivate the
movement of the meter needles and
gauges and sequential illumination of the
combination meter that takes place when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po- sition.
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” posi-
tion. With the A trip meter indication se-
lected, briefly press the trip knob twice.
You can now establish the activated/deac-
tivated setting for movement of the meter
needles and gauges when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position. To

change the current setting, press the trip
knob for at least two seconds.
: Activated : Deactivated
With the function deactivated, the combi-
nation meter illuminates as follows:
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
rims, meter needles, odometer, trip meter,
and gauge back lights illuminate.
2. Meter and gauge dials illuminate.
3. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins.
Briefly press the trip knob again. You can
now establish the activated/deactivated
setting for sequential illumination of the
combination meter when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position. To change the current setting, press the trip
knob for at least two seconds.
: Activated : Deactivated
Briefly press the knob to return to the A trip
meter indication.
If you turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position, or open and close the
driver’s door during the setting procedure,
the new setting will be canceled.
Also, if you do not press the trip knob for a
period of 10 seconds, the new setting will
be canceled.
NOTE y It is not possible to cancel sequential
illumination of the combination meter
while sequential illumination is actual-
ly taking place. Cancel sequential illu-
mination when regular illumination (for
driving) has begun.y When you open the driver’s door
with the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position, the meters’ needles and rims
are lit. The illumination stops working
when you shut the driver’s door or au-
tomatically after 30 seconds. „
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed. „ Odometer
This meter displays the odometer when
the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”, “ACC”
or “ON” position.
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position,
the odometer/trip meter will light up. If you
do not press the trip knob within 10 sec-
onds of illumination of the odometer/trip
meter, the odometer/trip meter will go off.
The odometer/trip meter will also go off if

you open and close the driver’s door with-
in 10 seconds of illumination of the odom- eter/trip meter. „
Double trip meter
This meter display two trip meters when
the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”, “ACC”
or “ON” position.
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 mode
indication alternately. To set the trip meter to zero, select the A
trip or B trip meter by pushing the knob
and keep the knob pushed for more than 2 seconds.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK” position, the
odometer/trip meter will light up. It is pos-
sible to switch between the A trip meter and B trip meter indications while the
odometer/trip meter is lit up. If you do not
press the trip knob within 10 seconds of il-
lumination of the odometer/trip meter, the
odometer/trip meter will go off. Also, if you
open and close the driver’s door within 10
seconds of illumination of the odometer/
trip meter, the odometer/trip meter will go
off.
NOTE
If the connection between the combi-
nation meter and battery is broken for
any reason such as vehicle mainte-
nance or fuse replacement, the data re-
corded on the trip meter will be lost. T
Vehicle communication system
fault indication
The vehicle communication system car-
ries various types of information (vehicle
speed, running conditions, etc.) to control
modules. In the event of a fault in this
communication system, the trip meter will
show “ ”.
If the trip meter shows “ ”, immedi-
ately contact the nearest SUBARU dealer
and have the vehicle communication sys-
tem inspected.
NOTE
If you press the trip knob while the trip
meter is showing “ ”, the trip
meter indication will appear for 10 sec-
onds. „ Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.

Driving tips 8-5
– CONTINUED –
provide better traction when driving on
slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and
when moving out of mud, dirt and sand. By
shifting power between the front and rear
wheels, SUBARU AWD can also provide
added traction during acceleration, and
added engine braking force during decel-
eration.
Therefore, your SUBARU AWD vehicle
may handle differently than an ordinary
two wheel drive vehicle and it contains
some features unique to AWD. For safety
purposes as well as to avoid damaging
the AWD system, you should keep the fol-
lowing tips in mind: y
An AWD vehicle is better able to climb
steeper roads under snowy or slippery
conditions than a two wheel drive vehicle.
There is little difference in handling, how-
ever, during extremely sharp turns or sud-
den braking. Therefore, when driving
down a slope or turning corners, be sure
to reduce your speed and maintain an am-
ple distance from other vehicles. y When replacing a tire, make sure you
use only the same size, circumference,
construction, brand, and load range as the
original tires listed on the tire placard. Us-
ing other sizes, circumferences or con- struction may result in severe mechanical
damage to the drive train of your vehicle
and may affect ride, handling, braking, speedometer/odometer calibration, and
clearance between the body and tires. It
also may be dangerous and lead to loss ofvehicle control. y
If you use a temporary spare tire to re-
place a flat tire, be sure to use the original
temporary spare tire stored in the vehicle.
Using other sizes may result in severe
mechanical damage to the drive train ofyour vehicle. y Always check the cold tire pressure be-
fore starting to drive. The recommended
tire pressure is provided on the tire plac-
ard, which is located under the door latch
on the driver’s side.y Tire chains should always be placed on
the front wheels only.y There are some precautions that you
must observe when towing your vehicle.
For detail information, see “Towing” sec-
tion in chapter 9. On-pavement and off road
driving
y
In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a
seat belt. You the driver and all
your passengers should fasten
the seatbelts before starting to
drive in order to minimize the
chance of serious injury or death.
yDo not make sharp turns and
quick maneuvers unless abso-
lutely unavoidable. Such actions
are dangerous as you may lose
control, possibly resulting in a
rollover which could cause death
or serious injury.
yAlways maintain a safe driving
speed according to the road and
weather conditions in order to
avoid having an accident on a
sharp turn, during sudden braking
or under other similar conditions.
