WARNING


Keep all doors locked when you drive, especially when small chil- dren are in your vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts and child restraints, lock- ing the doors reduces the chance of being thrown out of the ve- hicle in an accident. It also helps prevent passengers from falling out if a door is acci- dentally opened, and intruders from unexpectedly opening doors and entering your vehicle.

J Tachometer


CAUTION


Do not operate the engine with the pointer of the tachometer in the red zone. In this range, fuel injection will be cut by the engine control module to protect the engine from overrevving. The engine will resume running normally after the engine speed is reduced below the red zone.


The tachometer shows the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute.


J Outside temperature indicator (if equipped) The outside temperature indicator shows the outside temperature in a range from –22°F to 122°F (–30°C to 50°C).


The indicator can give a false reading under any of the following condi- tions: D When there is too much sun. D During idling; while running at low speeds in a traffic jam; when the engine is restarted immediately following a shutdown. D When the actual outside temperature falls outside the specified indi- cator range.


For vehicles with an automatic climate control, outside temperature can be displayed on the climate control display panel. Refer to the “Automatic climate control system” in chapter 4.


J Fuel gauge The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the tank. The gauge does not return to “E” even though the ignition switch is in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.


The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel level movement in the tank.

J Temperature gauge


CAUTION


If the pointer exceeds the normal operating range, safely stop the vehicle as soon as possible. See “In case of emergency” in chapter 9.


HB2012BB


The temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.


The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with the outside temper- ature and driving conditions.


We recommend that you drive moderately until the pointer of the temper- ature gauge reaches near the middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum with the engine coolant at this temperature range and high rev- ving operation when the engine is not warmed up enough should be avoided.

J CHECK ENGINE warning light/Malfunction


indicator lamp


CAUTION


If the CHECK ENGINE light comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle checked/repaired by your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. Continued vehicle operation without having the emission control system checked and repaired as necessary could cause serious damage, which may not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.


If this light comes on steadily or blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that there is a problem or potential problem somewhere in the emission control system.


B If the light comes on steadily: If the light comes on steadily while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, an emission control system malfunction has been de- tected. You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.


NOTE This light also comes on when the fuel filler cap is not tightened until it clicks.


If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the cause of the CHECK ENGINE warning light/malfunction indicator lamp coming on could be a loose or missing fuel filler cap. Remove the cap and retighten it until it clicks. Make sure nothing is interfering with the sealing of the cap. Tightening the cap will not make the CHECK ENGINE warning light turn off immediately. It may take several driving trips. If the light does not go out, take your vehicle to your authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.


B If the light is blinking: If the light is blinking while driving, an engine misfire condition has

been detected which may damage the emission control system. To prevent serious damage to the emission control system, you should do the following: D Reduce vehicle speed. D Avoid hard acceleration. D Avoid steep uphill grades. D Reduce the amount of cargo, if possible. D Stop towing a trailer as soon as possible.


The CHECK ENGINE warning light may stop blinking and come on steadily after several driving trips. You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.


J Charge warning light If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the charging system is not working properly.


If the light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine at the first safe opportunity and check the alterna- tor belt. If the belt is loose, broken or if the belt is in good condition but the light remains on, contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.


J Oil pressure warning light


CAUTION


Do not operate the engine with the oil pressure warning light on. This may cause serious engine damage.


If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the engine oil pressure is low and the lubricating system is not working prop- erly. If the light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine at the first safe opportunity and check the engine oil level. If the oil level is low, add oil immediately. If the engine oil is at the proper level but the light remains on, contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately.

When driving with an insufficient battery voltage such as when the en- gine is jump started, the ABS warning light may come on. This is due to the low battery voltage and does not indicate a malfunction. When the battery becomes fully charged, the light will go out.


J VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) warning light


(if equipped)


This warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes out after the engine has started. It indicates that the VDC system is operational. The VDC system is probably inoperative under any of the following conditions. Immediately have your vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer. D The VDC warning light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. D The VDC warning light remains on after the engine has started and stays lit even when the vehicle speed reaches about 8 mph (12 km/h). D The VDC warning light comes on while the vehicle is running. D If the electrical circuit of the VDC system itself becomes faulty, the VDC warning light only comes on. At this time, the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) remains fully operational. D The warning light comes on when the electronic control system of the ABS/VDC system becomes faulty. The VDC system provides its ABS control through the electrical circuit of the ABS system. Accordingly, if the ABS is inoperative, the VDC system also becomes unable to provide ABS control. As a result, the VDC sys- tem becomes inoperative, causing the VDC warning light to come on. Though both the VDC and ABS systems are inoperative in this case, the ordinary functions of the brake system are still available. You will be safe

Instruments and controls


D Do not operate the wipers when the windshield or rear window is dry. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield or rear window, always use the windshield washer. D In freezing weather, be sure that the wiper blades are not fro- zen to the windshield or rear window before switching on the wipers. Attempting to operate the wiper with the blades frozen to the window glass could cause not only the wiper blades to be damaged but also the wiper motor to burn out. If the wiper blade is frozen to the window glass, be sure to operate the defroster, wiper deicer (if equipped) or rear window defogger before turning on the wiper. D If the wipers stop during operation because of ice or some oth- er obstruction on the window, the wiper motor could burn out even if the wiper switch is turned off. If this occurs, promptly stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position and clean the window glass to allow proper wiper opera- tion. D Use clean water if windshield washer fluid is unavailable. In areas where water freezes in winter, use SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluid or the equivalent. (See “Windshield washer fluid” section in chapter 11.) Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing tempera- tures, use non-freezing type wiper blades. D Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the wiper blades.


NOTE D The wiper operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position. D Clean your wiper blades and window glass periodically with a washer solution to prevent streaking, and to remove accumulations of road salt or road film. Keep the washer button depressed at least for 1 second so that washer solution will be sprinkled all over the

windshield or rear window. D Grease, wax, insects or other material on the windshield or the wiper blades results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you cannot remove those streaks after operating the washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield or rear window and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the window glass and wiper blades with clean water. The glass is clean if no beads form on the glass when you rinse with water. D If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this pro- cedure, replace the wiper blades with new ones. Refer to the “Wiper blade replacement” section (chapter 11) for replacement instruc- tions.

n Photosensors


Instruments and controls


HB6020BA


The mirror has a photosensor attached on both the front and back sides. If the glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you strikes the mirror, these sensors detect it and make the reflection surface of the mirror dimmer to help prevent you from being blinded. For this reason, use care not to cover the sensors with stickers, or other simi- lar items. Periodically wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton cloth or an applicator.


n Compass calibration 1. For optimum calibration, switch off all nonessential electrical ac- cessories (rear window defogger, heater/air conditioning system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all doors are shut. 2. Drive to an open, level area away from large metallic objects or structures and make certain the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. 3. Press and hold the left button for 3 seconds then release, and the compass will enter the calibration mode. “CAL” and direction will be displayed. 4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL” disappears from the display (about two or three circles). 5. The compass is now calibrated. Further calibration is not required. The compass will automatically calibrate from this point forward.
