Subaru Forester: Meters and gauges / Speedometer, Tachometer and Odometer

Speedometer

The speedometer shows the vehicle speed.

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 overrevving. The engine will resume running normally after the engine speed is reduced below the red zone.

Odometer

1. TRIP RESET switch
2. Type A combination meter
3. Type B combination meter

This meter displays the odometer when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The odometer shows the total distance that the vehicle has been driven.

NOTE

If you press the TRIP RESET switch when the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF” or “ACC” position, the odometer/trip meter will light up.

The indicators will turn off when:

• The TRIP RESET switch is not operated for approximately 10 seconds.
• The driver’s door is opened and then closed.
