Tachometer; Fuel Gauge - Subaru Outback 2016 Manual

3-12
Instruments and controls/Meters and gauges
& Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
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 overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.
NOTE
To protect the engine/transmission
while the select lever is in the "P" or
"N" position (CVT models) or the shift
lever is in the neutral position (MT
models), the engine is controlled so
that the engine speed may not become
too high even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed hard.
& Fuel gauge
CAUTION
For diesel engine models, fill the
tank with diesel fuel. For details
about diesel fuel, refer to "Fuel
requirements for diesel engine mod-
els" F7-3.
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the "LOCK"/
"OFF" or "ACC" position, the fuel gauge
shows "E" even if the fuel tank contains
fuel.
The gauge may move slightly due to fuel
level movement in the tank (e.g., during
braking, turning or acceleration).
If you press the trip reset switch while the
ignition switch is in the "LOCK"/"OFF" or
"ACC" position, the fuel gauge's dial will
light up and the needle will indicate the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge needle is indicating
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank,
you (a) do not press the trip reset switch
for 10 seconds or (b) open and close the
driver's door, the fuel gauge needle will
drop to the "E" position and the dial and
needle will turn off.
NOTE
You will see the " " sign in the fuel
gauge.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of the
vehicle.
