2. Operating range

NOTE

• If the access key fob is not detected within the operating range of the antennas inside the vehicle, the pushbutton ignition switch and the engine start cannot be operated.
• Even when the access key fob is outside the vehicle, if it is placed too close to the glass, it may be possible to switch the power or to start the engine.
• Do not leave the access key fob in the following places. It may become impossible to operate the push-button ignition switch and the engine start.
  • On the instrument panel
  • On the floor
  • Inside the glove box
  • Inside the door trim pocket
  • On the rear seat
  • On the rear shelf
• When operating the push-button ignition switch or starting the engine, if the access key fob battery is discharged, perform the procedure described in “Access Key Fob.

Switching Power Status

1. Push-button ignition switch
   The power status is switched every time the push-button ignition switch is pressed.
2. Carry the access key fob, and sit in the driver’s seat.
3. Shift the shift lever in neutral (MT models) or the select lever in the “P” position (AT models).
4. Press the push-button ignition switch without depressing the clutch pedal (MT models) or the brake pedal (AT models). Every time the button is pressed, the power is switched in the sequence of “OFF”, “ACC”, “ON” and “OFF”.

CAUTION

• To prevent the vehicle battery from discharging, do not leave the push-button ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position for a long time.
• If the vehicle was left in the hot sun for a long time, the surface of the push-button ignition switch may get hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
• To avoid a malfunction, observe the following precautions.
  • Do not spill drinks or other liquids on the push-button ignition switch.
  • Do not touch the push-button ignition switch with a hand that is soiled with oil or other contaminants.
• If the push-button ignition switch does not operate smoothly, stop the operation. Contact a SUBARU dealer immediately.

NOTE

• When operating the push-button ignition switch, firmly press it all the way.
• If the push-button ignition switch is pressed quickly, the power may not turn on or off.
• When the steering lock cannot be released, the message appears on the combination meter. When this occurs, press the push-button ignition switch while turning the steering wheel left and right.

Battery drainage prevention function
When the push-button ignition switch is left in the “ACC” for more than 20 minutes or “ON” position for approximately 1 hour, the push-button ignition switch will be automatically switched to “OFF” to prevent the battery from going dead. (In AT models, this function is activated when the select lever is in the “P” position.)

• When Access Key Fob Does Not Operate Properly

Hazard Warning FlasherThe hazard warning flasher is used to warn other drivers when you have to park your vehicle under emergency conditions. The hazard warning flasher works with the ignition switch in any position. To turn on the hazard warning flasher, press the hazard warning button on the instrument panel. All the turn signal lights and the turn signal indicator lights will flash. To turn off the flasher, press the button again.

NOTE
When the hazard warning flasher is on, the turn signals do not work.

Meters and Gauges

NOTE
Liquid crystal displays are used in some of the meters and gauges in the combination meter. You will find their indications hard to see if you wear polarized glasses.

• Speedometer
  The speedometer shows the vehicle speed.

2023 Subaru BRZ Specs, Price, Features, Mileage (Brochure)

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.
• Pay extra attention to the engine speed when the engine is cold, as the red zone will be lower than normal.

NOTE
The initial movement of the bar display that occurs when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position can be activated or deactivated.

NOTE
The initial movement of the bar display that occurs when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position can be activated or deactivated.

Odometer and Double Trip Meter

1. TRIP RESET switch
2. Odometer
3. Trip meter

This meter displays the odometer/trip meter when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The display can be switched as shown in the following sequence by pressing the TRIP RESET switch.

To reset the trip meter, select either the A trip or B trip meter, then press and hold the TRIP RESET switch.

Odometer
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 “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.

Double trip meter
The trip meter shows the distance that the vehicle has been driven since you last set it to zero.

CAUTION
To ensure safety, do not attempt to change the function of the indicator during driving, as an accident could result.

NOTE

• If the connection between the combination meter and battery is broken for any reason such as vehicle maintenance or fuse replacement, the data recorded on the trip meter will be lost.
• If you press the TRIP RESET switch when the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or “ACC” position, the odometer/ trip meter will light up. It is possible to switch between the A trip meter and B trip meter indications while the odometer/trip meter is lit up.

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the tank. When the ignition switch is in the “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).

NOTE
You will see the “ ” sign in the fuel gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler lid is located on the right side of the vehicle.

Engine Coolant Temperature GaugeThe temperature gauge shows engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with the outside temperature and driving conditions. We recommend that you drive moderately until the pointer of the temperature gauge reaches near the middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum with the engine coolant at this temperature range and high revving operation when the engine is not warmed up enough should be avoided.

CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal operating range, safely stop the vehicle as soon as possible.

Outside Temperature
Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°F (-40°C) to 122°F (50°C). Low outside temperature indicator comes on when the ambient temperature is 37°F (3°C) or lower.

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

Combination Meter Settings
Some meter settings can be set on the center information display.

REV indicator light and buzzerThe REV alarm system has the following functions.

• When the engine speed reaches a set speed, the select lever/gear position indicator will illuminate in orange and a buzzer will sound.
• If the engine speed enters the red zone, the select lever/gear position indicator will illuminate in red.

The factory setting (default setting) for this function is set as “OFF”. To change the REV indicator light and buzzer settings, perform the procedures described in “Settings Display”.

Illumination Brightness ControlThe illumination brightness of the combination meter and center information display dims under the following conditions.

• The light switch is in the “ ” or “ ” position when the ambient light is dark.
• The light switch is in the “AUTO” position and the headlights illuminate automatically.

You can adjust the illumination brightness for better visibility. To brighten, turn the control dial upward. To darken, turn the control dial downward.

NOTE

• When the control dial is turned fully upward, the illumination brightness becomes the maximum and the automatic dimming function does not work at all.
• The brightness setting is not canceled even when the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position.
