Changing the display using the “DISP” switch
Each time the “DISP” switch is pressed, the display changes as fol-
lows.
Outside temperature
Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°F (-40°C) to
122°F (50°C).
Current fuel consumption
Displays the current rate of fuel consumption.
Average fuel consumption
Displays the average fuel consumption since the function was reset.
• The function can be reset by pushing the “DISP” switch for longer than one second when the average fuel consumption is displayed.
• Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a reference.

■ Drive information (page 1)
Current fuel consumption
Displays the current rate of fuel
consumption.
Average fuel consumption
Displays the average fuel con-
sumption since the function was
reset.
Driving range
Displays the estimated maximum
distance that can be driven with
the quantity of fuel remaining.
●Pressing and holding will reset the average fuel consump-
tion.
● Use the displayed fuel consumption as a reference.
● This distance is computed based on your average fuel con-
sumption. As a result, the actual distance that can be driven may
differ from that displayed.
● When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the dis-
play may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the push-button ignition switch off. If the
vehicle is refueled without turning the push-button ignition switch
off, the display may not be updated.

Maintenance and care
BRZ_U
●
When the engine is operated at high engine speeds (for extended peri-
ods of time)
● When the engine is operated under heavy loads (for extended periods of
time)
● When the engine idles for extended periods of time
● When the vehicle is operated in stop and go and/or heavy traffic situa-
tions
● When the vehicle is used under severe thermal conditions
● When the vehicle accelerates and decelerates frequently
Under these or similar conditions, you should check your oil at least every
2nd fuel fill-up and change your engine oi l more frequently. Different drivers
in the same car may experience different results. If your oil consumption rate
is greater than expected, contact y our authorized SUBARU retailer who may
perform a test under controlled conditions.
WARNING
■ Used engine oil
● Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may
cause skin disorders such as inflammation or skin cancer, so care should
be taken to avoid prolonged and repeated contact. To remove used engine
oil from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
● Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner. Do
not dispose of used oil and filters in household trash, in sewers or onto the
ground.
Call your SUBARU dealer, service station or auto parts store for informa-
tion concerning recycling or disposal.
● Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.

*: This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As a
result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.
(Vehicles with an auto-
matic transmission) Indicates that the auto-
matic transmission fluid
temperature is too
high.
A buzzer also
sounds. Stop the vehicle in a
safe place and shift the
select lever to P.

opened.
A buzzer also
sounds. Turn the lights off.
(Comes on in yellow)
Indicates that remain-
ing fuel is approxi-
mately 1.8 gal. (7.0 L,
1.5 Imp. gal.) or less
The estimated
remaining driving
range will be dis-
played under this
warning message.* Refuel the vehicle.
Roads may be icy due
to the low outside tem-
perature. Drive carefully avoiding
sudden acceleration,
sudden braking, sud-
den deceleration, and
sharp turns.
