2022 SUBARU BRZ Getting Started Guide

Illumination Brightness
When the light controls are on
(in the
,, or “AUTO”
position), and ambient light is low,
rotating the illumination
brightness dial on the instrument
panel upward will make the
instrument panel illumination
brighter. When the dial is fully
rotated upward (dots aligned), the
instrument panel illumination
stays at full brightness. Rotating
the dial downward dims the
instrument panel illumination.
When the ambient light is bright,
the illumination brightness is set
to the maximum regardless of the position of the control dial.
Daytime Running Lights
The daytime running lights automatically turn on when the engine is running, the parking
brake is fully released, the select lever is out of the “P” position (AT models), and the light
switch is set to Off, “AUTO”, or “
”. Always turn on the headlights when it’s dark
outside by rotating the dial to the “
” or “AUTO” position.

OPERATING THE VEHICLE
29

Automatic Transmission Shift Mode(if equipped)
The transmission is electronically controlled
and provides two different driving modes:
normal and manual.
Normal Mode
When the select lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position, the transmission is in normal shift
mode. The select lever position indicator in the
Combination Meter shows “D” and the
transmission automatically shifts into a
suitable forward gear.
Manual Mode
In manual mode, you select the desired gear
position to obtain necessary acceleration and engine braking. Move the select lever left
from the “D” position into the “M” position to select manual mode. The gear position
indicator in the Combination Meter shows the currently selected gear from “M1” to “M6”.
Arrow-shaped indicators show when upshifting or downshifting is available. To shift gears,
use the paddle shift control switches behind the steering wheel or shift the select lever
toward the “+” or “-” side.
Paddle Shift Control Switches(if equipped)
You can shift gears using the
paddle shift control switches. To
upshift to the next higher gear,
pull the “+” paddle on the right
toward you. To downshift to the
next lower gear, pull the “–”
paddle on the left toward you.
You can temporarily shift gears
even when the select lever is in
the “D” position by pulling either
the “+” or “–” paddle toward you.
In this case, “D” and the selected
gear number will be displayed on
the combination meter.
