Instruments and controls
NOTE
If the connection between the combi-
nation meter and battery is broken for
any reason such as vehicle mainte-
nance or fuse replacement, the data re-
corded on the trip meter will be lost.
T Vehicle communication system
fault indication
The vehicle communication system car-
ries various types of information (vehicle
speed, running conditions, etc.) to control
modules. In the event of a fault in this
communication system, the trip meter will
show “ ”.
If the trip meter shows “ ”, immedi-
ately contact the nearest SUBARU dealer
and have the vehicle communication sys-
tem inspected.
NOTE
If you press the trip knob while the trip
meter is showing “ ”, the trip
meter indication will appear for 10 sec-
onds.
„ Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
„ Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during brak-
ing, turning or acceleration due to fuel lev-
el movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position,
the fuel gauge will light up and indicate the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge is indicating the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank, you
(a) do not press the trip knob for 10 sec-
onds or (b) open and close the driver’s
door, the fuel gauge indication will go off.
T Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light comes on when
the tank is nearly empty [Approximately
2.6 US gal (10 liters, 2.2 Imp gal)].
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 overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine
speed is reduced below the red
zone.
