Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system
The push-button ignition switch is in “ON” mode.
■ The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the front position lights or headlights are turned on, the instrument
panel lights will be dimmed. However, if the surrounding area is bright, the
brightness of the instrument panel lights will be set to maximum regardless
of the position of the control dial (aut o dimmer cancel function). In this case,
the brightness of the instrument panel lights will not be able to be changed
by the control dial.
■ Fuel gauge
● When the indicator needle is close to “E”, promptly refuel the vehicle.
● The relationship between the indicator needle and the consumed amount
(remaining fuel) is not always accurate. Only use it as a reference.
● When the vehicle is on an incline or curve, sudden acceleration and
stops and so forth cause the fuel inside the tank to move which may
cause the indicator needle to move up and down.
■ Customization that can be configured at your SUBARU dealer
The sensitivity of the auto dimmer cancel function can be changed.

*5: The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show
you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. When the
engine switch is turned to the “ON” position, (vehicles without a key-
less access with push button start system), or the push-button ignition
switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless access with
push button start system), both the ON and OFF indicators illuminate
for 6 seconds during the system check. After the system check, both
the ON and OFF indicators turn off for 2 seconds. Then, either the
ON or OFF indicator illuminates depending on the condition of the
front passenger’s frontal airbag.
When the OFF indicator remains off and ON indicator illuminates, the
front passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision. When
the OFF indicator illuminates and ON indicator remains off, the front
passenger’s frontal airbag does not deploy during a collision.
If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators remain
on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without a keyless access with push button start system) or the push-
button ignition switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system), or the indicators remain off
after the system check, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer immediately.
