■Drive Information▼ Drive information (page 1)1) Voltmeter
2) Engine oil temperature gaugeThis screen displays the charging voltage
and engine temperature.
As voltage displayed may be different
from the actual battery voltage, use the
voltmeter as a guideline. ▼
Drive information (page 2)
1) Current fuel consumption
2) Average fuel consumption
3) Driving rangeThis screen displays the current rate of
fuel consumption, average fuel consump-
tion since the function was reset and esti-
mated maximum distance that can be
driven with the quantity of fuel remaining.
 Pressing and holding will reset the
average fuel consumption.
 Use the displayed fuel consumption as
a reference.
 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. 
When only a small amount of fuel is
added to the tank, the display 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.
▼ Drive information (page 3)
1) Average vehicle speed
2) Driving time
3) Driving distanceThis screen displays the average vehicle
speed since display was reset, cumulative
time the vehicle has been driven since
display was reset and the cumulative
distance the vehicle has been driven since
display was reset.

New Vehicle Break-In Driving – the First 1,000 miles (1,600 km)
2908-1. New Vehicle Break-In
Driving – the First 1,000 miles (1,600 km)The performance and long life of your
vehicle are dependent on how you handle
and care for your vehicle while it is new.
Follow these instructions during the first
1,000 miles (1,600 km):
 Do not race the engine. And do not
allow engine speed to exceed 4,000 rpm
except in an emergency.
 Do not drive at one constant engine or
vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or
slow.
 Avoid starting suddenly and rapid
acceleration, except in an emergency.
 Avoid hard braking, except in an emer-
gency.
The same break-in procedures should be
applied to a newly installed or overhauled
engine or when brake pads are replaced
with new ones.
8-2. Fuel Economy HintsThe following suggestions will help to
save your fuel.
 Select the proper gear position for the
speed and road conditions.
 Avoid sudden acceleration or decelera-
tion. Always accelerate gently until you
reach the desired speed. Then try to main-
tain that speed for as long as possible.
 Do not pump the accelerator and avoid
racing the engine.
 Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
 Keep the engine properly tuned.
 Keep the tires inflated to the correct
pressure shown on the tire inflation pres-
sure label, which is located on the driver’s
center pillar. Low pressure will increase
tire wear and fuel consumption.
 Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
 Keep the front and rear wheels in
proper alignment.
 Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage or
cargo.
8-3. Engine Exhaust Gas (Carbon Monoxide)
WARNING
 Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is
dangerous, or even lethal, if
inhaled. Always properly maintain the
engine exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from entering
the vehicle. Never run the engine in a closed
space, such as a garage, except
for the brief time needed to drive
the vehicle in or out of it. Avoid remaining in a parked
vehicle for a long time while the
engine is running. If that is
unavoidable, then use the ventila-
tion fan to force fresh air into the
vehicle. Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system
always works properly.

Engine Oil
34611-6. Engine Oil■Engine Oil ConsumptionSome engine oil will be consumed while
driving. The rate of consumption can be
affected by such factors as transmission
type, driving style, terrain and tempera-
ture. Under the followi ng conditions, oil
consumption can be increased and thus
require refilling between maintenance
intervals:
 When the engine is new and within the
break-in period
 When the engine oil is of lower quality 
When the incorrect oil viscosity is used
 When engine braking is employed
(repeatedly)
 When the engine is operated at high
engine speeds (for extended periods 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 situations
 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 oil
more frequently. Different drivers in the
same car may experience different
results. If your oil consumption rate is
greater than expected, contact your
authorized SUBARU retailer who may
perform a test under controlled conditions.
■ Checking the Oil Level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
stop the engine. If you check the oil level
just after stopping the engine, wait for at least 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into

the oil pan before checking the level.
1) Oil level gauge
2) Oil filler cap
3) Oil filter2. Pull out the level gauge, wipe it clean,
and insert it again.
3. Be sure the level gauge is correctly
inserted until it stops.
CAUTION
 If the level gauge is not pulled out
easily, twist the level gauge right
and left, then pull it out. Other-
wise, you may be injured acciden-
tally straining yourself. Use only engine oil with the
recommended grade and
viscosity. Be careful not to spill engine oil
when adding it. If oil touches the
exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If
engine oil gets on the exhaust
pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
CAUTION
If the level gauge cannot be pulled
out easily, twist the level gauge
right and left, then gently pull it out.
Otherwise, you may be injured acci-
dentally straining yourself.

Tires and Wheels
362Roadholding is good, and steering
is responsive. Rolling resistance is
low, so fuel consumption is also
lower.
 Under inflated tires (tread worn at
shoulders) Rolling resistance is high, so fuel
consumption is also higher.

Over inflated tires (tread worn in
center) Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire

magnifies the effects of road
surface bumps and dips, possibly
resulting in vehicle damage.

WARNING
Driving at high speeds with
excessively low tire pressures
can cause the tires to deform
severely and to rapidly
become hot. A sharp increase
in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruc-
tion of the tires. The resulting
loss of vehicle control could
lead to an accident.

■Manual Transmission and Differential Gear Oil*1: The indicated oil quantity is only a guideline. The necessary quantity for replacement may differ slightly depending on the temperature and other
factors. After refilling the gearbox wi th oil, the oil level should be checked.
*2: For more details about maintenance and service, refer to the indicated section.
*3: The vehicle is filled at the factory.
*4: This type of manual transmission oil can be used. However, using this type of oil will increase fuel consumption.
If oil other than “Manual Transmission Gear Oil LV 75W” is used, the following may be experienced:
 The overall performance and function of the transmission may be adversely affected.
 Rattling noises may occur during id ling and fuel consumption may increase.
Never use different brands together.
*5: Using a differential gear oil other than “D ifferential Gear Oil LX” may cause noise, vibrations and increased fuel consumpti on. Never use different
brands together.■ Fluids
