Subaru Forester: Multi-function display (black and white) / Outside temperature indicator

- U.S.-spec. models

NOTE
- The outside temperature indicator
shows the temperature around the
sensor. However, the temperature may
not be indicated correctly or the update
may be delayed in the following conditions.
- While parking or driving at low
speeds
- When the outside temperature
changes suddenly (example: when
going in and out of an underground
parking area or when passing through a tunnel)
- When starting the engine after
being parked for a certain period of
time
- The temperature unit cannot be
changed.
Road surface freeze warning indication

- U.S.-spec. models
- Except U.S.-spec. models
When the outside temperature drops to a
certain temperature or lower, the temperature
indication flashes for 5 seconds to
show that the road surface may be frozen.
If the display is already indicating that the
outside temperature is low when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position, the indication does not flash.
NOTE
The outside temperature indication
may differ from the actual outside
temperature. The road surface freeze
warning indication should be treated
only as a guide. Be sure to check the
condition of the road surface before
driving.
X-MODE indicator
This indicator will be shown while the XMODE
is activated. It will turn off when the
X-MODE is deactivated.
