“ON ”position, the indication does not
flash. NOTE 
The outside temperature 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 beforedriving. & Current fuel consumption (if equipped)
This display shows the rate of fuel con- 
sumption at the present moment. &
Average fuel consumption
1) U.S.-spec. models 
2) Except U.S.-spec. models
This display shows the average rate of 
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset. 
When either of the trip meter displays 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.. After either trip meter display is
reset, the average fuel consumption corresponding to that trip meter dis-
play is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km). &
Turn off display of fuel con- 
sumption indicator
The 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 pressthe “+ ” 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   

&Fan speed control dial
The fan operates only with the ignition 
switch in the ON position. The fan speed
control dial is used to select the AUTO
(automatic control) mode or to select the
desired fan speed. The dial ’s positions
and their functions are as follows. OFF: The fan does not operate. When the
AUTO mode is operating, the setting of air 
inlet is fixed in the “OFF ”position (outside
air). When the AUTO mode is not operat-
ing, the setting will remain in the condition
set just before the air conditioner turned
off. AUTO: The fan speed is adjusted auto-
maticallyinaccordancewiththeair 
temperature inside and outside the pas-
senger compartment, the intensity of sun-
light, and other factors. SUBARU recom- mends using the AUTO position. 
Other positions:
The fan speed can be
adjusted in 7 steps.
NOTE 
With the fan speed control dial in the 
AUTO position and the airflow control 
dial in the “
”, “”,or “”position,
the fan does not operate during engine 
warm-up until the engine coolant tem-
perature exceeds approximately 122 8F
(50 8C).
& Temperature control dial
This dial is used to set the desired interior 
temperature. With the dial set to your
desired temperature, the system automa- 
tically adjusts the temperature of air 
supplied from the outlets such that the desired temperature is achieved andmaintained. 
If the dial is turned fully counterclockwise, 
the system gives maximum cooling per-
formance. If the dial is turned fully clock-
wise, the system gives maximum heatingperformance. &
Airflow control dial
Each dial position activates the following 
air outlets. AUTO: The airflow control is adjusted
automatically in accordance with the air 
temperature inside and outside the pas-
senger compartment, the intensity of sun-
light, and other factors. SUBARU recom-
mends using the AUTO position.
