NOTE. If the electrical circuit of the Vehicle
Dynamics Control system itself mal-
functions, only this particular warning
light illuminates. Under these circum-
stances, the ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) remains fully operational.
. The warning light illuminates when
the electronic control system of the
ABS/Vehicle Dynamics Control system
malfunctions.
The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is
probably inoperative under any of the
following conditions. Have your vehicle
checked at a SUBARU dealer immedi-
ately.
. The warning light does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON ”position.
. The warning light illuminates while the
vehicle is running.NOTEIf the warning light behavior is as
described in the following examples,
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system
may be considered to be operating
normally.
. The warning light illuminates right
after the engine is started but turns off
immediately and remains off.
. The warning light illuminates after the engine has started and turns off
while the vehicle is subsequently being
driven.
.
The warning light illuminates during
driving, but turns off immediately and
remains off.
! Vehicle Dynamics Control opera-
tion indicator light
The indicator light flashes during activa-
tion of the skid suppression function and
during activation of the traction control
function.
NOTE. The light may remain illuminated for
a short period of time after the engine
has been started, especially in cold
weather. This does not indicate the
existence of a problem. The light
should turn off as soon as the engine
has warmed up.
. The indicator light illuminates when
the engine has developed a problem
and the CHECK ENGINE warning light/
malfunction indicator light is on.
The Vehicle Dynamics Control system is
probably malfunctioning under the follow-
ing condition. Have your vehicle checked
at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
. The light does not turn off even after
the engine has warmed up for several minutes after it was started.

! Traction Control OFF indicator light
(green –STI)
The light illuminates when the Vehicle
Dynamics Control mode switch is pressed
briefly to select the traction mode. For
details, refer to “Traction mode” F7-30.&
Security indicator light
The security indicator light deters potential
thieves by indicating that the vehicle is
equipped with an immobilizer system. It
begins flashing (approximately once every
3 seconds) approximately 60 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned from the
“ON ”position to the “Acc”or “LOCK ”
position or immediately after the key is pulled out.
If the security indicator light does not flash,
the immobilizer system may not be func-
tioning properly. If this occurs, contact
your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g.,
an imitation key), the security indicator
light illuminates.
NOTE.
For the flashing pattern when arm-
ing the alarm system, refer to “Arming
the system ”F 2-16.
. Even if the security indicator light
flashes irregularly or its fuse blows (the
light does not flash if its fuse is blown),
the immobilizer system will function
normally.

position, the outside temperature, current
fuel consumption (if equipped) and aver-
age fuel consumption are indicated on the
display. The fuel consumption display is linked
with the odometer/trip meter display ac-
cording to the following chart.

& Outside temperature indica-
tor1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Except U.S.-spec. modelsThe 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. !
Road surface freeze warning indi-
cation
1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Except U.S.-spec. modelsWhen the outside temperature drops to
378F(3 8C) or lower, the temperature
indication flashes to show that the road
surface may be frozen.
If the outside temperature drops to 37 8F
(3 8C) or lower while the display is giving
an indication other than the outside
temperature, the display switches to the
outside temperature indication and flashes
for 5 seconds before returning to its
original indication.
If the display is already indicating an
outside temperature of 37 8F(3 8C) or lower
when the ignition switch is turned to the “
ON ”position, the indication does not
flash.
NOTEThe outside temper ature indication
may differ from the actual outside
temperature. The road surface freeze
warning indication should be treated
only as a guide. Be sure to check the
condition of the road surface before
driving.& Current fuel consumption (if
equipped)This indication shows the rate of fuel
consumption at the present moment.

& Average fuel consumption1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Except U.S.-spec. modelsThis indication shows the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset.
When either of the trip meter indications is
reset, the corresponding average fuel
consumption value is also reset.NOTE. The indicated values vary in accor-
dance with changes in the vehicle ’s
running conditions. Also, the indicated
values may differ slightly from the
actual values and should thus be
treated only as a guide.
. When either trip meter indication is
reset, the average fuel consumption corresponding to that trip meter indica-
tion is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km).
&
Turn off display of fuel con-
sumption indicatorThe display of the fuel consumption
indicator can be turned off.
To turn off the display of the indicator, turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK”position
and press the “+”button adjacent to the
information display for approximately 5
seconds. Then, the information display
and the clock display will blink for 3
seconds to notify that the display of the
fuel consumption has been turned off.
To restore the indicator, once again press
the “+”button for approximately 5 sec-
onds.NOTE. The initial display setting of the fuel
consumption indicator of your vehicle
has been set to operational at the time
of shipment from the factory.
. The average fuel consumption is
calculated even while the indicator is
not displayed.
. Even if you turn off the fuel con-
sumption indicator, the fuel consump-
tion indicator will automatically turn on when the battery voltage is discon-
nected and then reconnected for bat-
tery replacement or fuse replacement.

key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Regardless of the position of the light
control switch, the illuminated lights are
turned off when the key is removed from
the ignition switch.NOTEEven if the key is removed from the
ignition switch, the lights can be illu-
minated by operating the light control
switch from “OFF ”to the “

position. In this case, if the driver ’s
door is opened, a chirp sound will
inform the driver that the lights are
illuminated.
CAUTION
. Use of any lights for a long period
of time while the engine is not
running can cause the battery to
discharge.

sure that the light control switch
is turned to the “OFF ”position. If
the vehicle is left unattended for
a long time with the light control
switch set to a position other
than “OFF ”, the battery may be discharged.
