Instruments and controls
Meters and gauges (2.0-liter
non-turbo and 2.5-liter and
3.0-liter OUTBACK models)
NOTE
Liquid-crystal displays are used in
some of the meters and gauges in the
combination meter. You will find their
indications hard to see if you wear po-
larized glasses.
Combination meter illumina-
tion
When the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, the various parts of the
combination meter are illuminated in the
following sequence:
1. Combination meter dials light up.
2. Meter needles and gauge needles
each show MAX position.
3. Meter needles and gauge needles
each show MIN position.
4. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins.
NOTE
The above sequence of operations may
not take place if you quickly turn the ig-
nition switch to start the engine. This is
not an abnormality.
Cancelling sequential illumi-
nation of the combination
meter
It is possible to activate or deactivate (by
means of a setting) the movement of the
meter needles and gauge needles that
takes place when the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position.
Turn the ignition switch to the "ACC" posi-

lected, briefly press the trip knob twice.
You can now establish the activated/deac-
tivated setting for movement of the meter
needles and gauge needles. To change
the current setting, press the trip knob for
at least two seconds.
: Activated
: Deactivated
Briefly press the knob to return to the A trip
meter indication.
If you turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" position, turn the ignition switch to
the "ON" position, or open and close the
driver's door during the setting procedure,
the new setting(s) will be canceled. Also, if
you do not press the trip knob for a period
of 10 seconds the new setting(s) will be
canceled.
NOTE
It is not possible to cancel sequential
illumination of the combination meter

ly taking place. Cancel sequential illu-
mination when regular illumination (for
driving) has begun.
