WARNING

■

If a safety system warning

light does not come on

Should a safety system light such

as the ABS and SRS warning light

not come on when you start the

EV system, this could mean that

these systems are not available to

help protect you in an accident,

which could result in death or seri-

ous injury. Have the vehicle

inspected by your SUBARU

dealer immediately if this occurs.

(acceleration force) while driving.

Regeneration

restrictions refer-

ence display

In the following situations, regenera-
tive braking is restricted, and the ref-
erences for those restrictions are
displayed in the charge area.
• When the traction battery has a

large amount of charge and can

no longer be regenerated

• When the temperature of the trac-

tion battery is extremely high or
extremely low

Output restrictions reference dis-

play

In the following situations, the out-
put is restricted, and the references
for those restrictions are displayed
in the power area.
• When the traction battery has a

low amount of charge and can no
longer output power

• When the temperature of the trac-

tion battery is extremely high or
extremely low

:The meaning of “Regeneration”

here means converting kinetic
energy into electrical energy.

:The actual restrictions may differ

depending on the vehicle condi-
tion.

■

Outside temperature display

●

In the following situations, the cor-

rect outside temperature may not

be displayed, or the display may

take longer than normal to

change:

• When stopped, or driving at low

speeds (less than 16 mph [25

km/h])

• When the outside temperature

has changed suddenly (at the

entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel,

etc.)

Display items



Odometer

Displays the total distance the vehi-
cle has been driven.



Trip meter A/Trip meter B

Displays the distance the vehicle
has been driven since the meter
was last reset. Trip meters A and B
can be used to record and display
different distances independently.

■

Switching the display

The display switches each time
the switch is pressed. Also,
when the switch is continuously
pressed during the trip meter
display, the driving distance can
be changed to “0”.

WARNING

■

The information display at

low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to

warm up before using the liquid

crystal information display. At

extremely low temperatures, the

information display monitor may

respond slowly, and display

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag

between the driver’s shifting and

the regenerative braking power

appearing on the display. This lag

could cause the driver to down-

shift again, causing rapid and

excessive regenerative braking

and possibly an accident resulting

in death or injury.
