Subaru Forester: Instruments and controls / Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher is used to warn
other drivers when you have to park your
vehicle under emergency conditions. The
hazard warning flasher works regardless
of the position of the ignition switch.
To turn on the hazard warning flasher,
push the hazard warning flasher switch on
the instrument panel. All the turn signal
lights and the turn signal indicator lights
will flash. To turn off the flasher, push the
switch again.
NOTE
When the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
NOTE
Some of the meters and gauges on the
combination meter use liquid-crystal
displays. You will find their indications
hard to see if you wear polarized
glasses...
Other information:
Select the blank space in the menu to exit
the driving information display selection.
NOTE
The average fuel consumption and
average vehicle speed are calculated
even while the driving information display
is not displayed.
Even if you turn off the driving
information display, the display will
automatically turn on when the battery
voltage is disconnected and then reconnected
for battery replacement or
fuse replacement...
WARNING
The Hill start assist system is a
device only for helping the driver
to START the vehicle on an uphill
grade. To prevent accidents
when the vehicle is parked on a
slope, be sure to firmly set the
parking brake. When setting the
parking brake, make sure that the
vehicle remains stationary when
the brake pedal is released...
