&Noise from under the vehicle
NOTEYou may hear a noise from under the
vehicle approximately 5 to 10 hours
after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK”/“OFF”position. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction. This
noise is caused by the operation of the
fuel evaporation leakage checking sys-
tem and the operation is normal. The
noise will stop after approximately 15
minutes.&Event data recorderThis vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
.How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
.Whether or not the driver and passen-
ger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
.Howfar(ifatall)thedriverwasdepressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
.How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition
to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.

NOTE.If the connection between the com-
bination meter and battery is broken for
any reason such as vehicle mainte-
nance or fuse replacement, the data
recorded on the trip meter will be lost.
.If you press the TRIP RESET switch
when the ignition switch is in the
“LOCK”/“OFF”or“ACC”position, the
odometer/trip meter will light up. It is
possible to switch between the A trip
meter and B trip meter indications while
the odometer/trip meter is lit up.
In addition, it is possible to reset the trip
meter by pressing and holding the TRIP
RESET switch.
The indicators will turn off when:
–The TRIP RESET switch is not
operated for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
–The driver’s door is opened and
then closed.
&Fuel gauge1) TRIP RESET switch
2) Type A combination meter
3) Type B combination meterThe fuel gauge is displayed when the
ignition is in the“ON”position, and it shows
the approximate amount of fuel remaining
in the tank.
The gauge indication may change slightly
during braking, turning or acceleration due
to fuel level movement in the tank.NOTE.You 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.
.If you press the TRIP RESET switchwhile the ignition switch is in the
“LOCK”/“OFF”or“ACC”position, the
fuel gauge will light up and indicate the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
The indicators will turn off when:
–The TRIP RESET switch is not
operated for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
–The driver’s door is opened and
then closed.
&ECO gauge (if equipped)1) Type A combination meter
2) Type B combination meterThe ECO gauge shows the difference
between the current rate of fuel consump-
tion and the average rate of fuel consump-
tion since the trip meter was last reset.

If the ECO gauge moves towards the +
side, this indicates better fuel efficiency.NOTE.The ECO gauge shows only an
approximate indication of fuel effi-
ciency.
.After resetting the trip meter, the
average rate of fuel consumption is not
shown until you have driven for 1 mile
(or 1 km). Before that time, the ECO
gauge does not operate.&Combination meter settingsMeter and vehicle settings can be set on
the combination meter.
!Type A combination meter
Various adjustments can be made, such
as switching units shown on the combina-
tion meter and adjusting the warning tone
volume.
While the ignition switch is in the“OFF”
position, each press of TRIP RESET
switch results in items shown in the table
below being switched.

Fuel
CAUTION
Use of a fuel which is low in quality
or use of an inappropriate fuel
additive may cause damage to the
engine and/or fuel system.&Fuel requirementsThe engine is designed to operate using
unleaded gasolinewith an octane rating
of87 AKI (90 RON) or higher.
!Mexico only
Add a bottle of genuine SUBARU fuel
additive to the fuel every 15,000 km (9,000
miles). Refer to an authorized SUBARU
dealer for details.
!Fuel octane rating
Using a gasoline with a lower octane rating
can cause persistent and heavy knocking,
which can damage the engine. Do not be
concerned if your vehicle sometimes
knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or
when you accelerate. Contact your
SUBARU dealer if you use a fuel with the
specified octane rating and your vehicle
knocks heavily or persistently.!RON
This octane rating is the Research Octane
Number.
!AKI
This octane rating is the average of the
Research Octane and Motor Octane num-
bers and is commonly referred to as the
Anti Knock Index (AKI).
!Unleaded gasoline
The neck of the fuel filler pipe is designed
to accept only an unleaded gasoline filler
nozzle. Under no circumstances should
leaded gasoline be used because it will
damage the emission control system and
may impair driveability and fuel economy.
!Gasoline for California-certified
LEV
If your vehicle was certified to California’s
low emission vehicle (LEV) standards as
indicated on the underhood tune-up label,
it is designed to optimize engine and
emission performance with gasoline that
meets the clean burning low-sulfur Cali-
fornia gasoline specifications. If you live in
any other state than California, your
vehicle will operate on gasoline meeting
Federal specifications. Gasoline sold out-
side California is permitted to have higher
sulfur levels, which may affect the perfor-
mance of your vehicle’s catalytic converterand may produce a sulfur exhaust odor or
smell. SUBARU recommends that you try
a different brand of unleaded gasoline
having lower sulfur to determine if the
problem is fuel related before returning
your vehicle to an authorized dealer for
service.
!MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane-enhan-
cing additive called MMT (Methylcyclo-
pentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). If
you use such fuels, your emission control
system performance may deteriorate and
the CHECK ENGINE warning light/Mal-
function indicator light may turn on. If this
happens, return to your authorized
SUBARU Dealer for service. If it is
determined that the condition is caused
by the type of fuel used, repairs may not be
covered by your warranty.
!Gasoline for cleaner air
Your use of gasoline with detergent ad-
ditives will help prevent deposits from
forming in your engine and fuel system.
This helps keep your engine in tune and
your emission control system working
properly, and is a way of doing your part
for cleaner air. If you continuously use a
high quality fuel with the proper detergent
and other additives, you should never
need to add any fuel system cleaning
