A Small Easter Egg - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

One little hidden feature I just noticed. If your car is shut off and you want to check the odometer reading, just press the "ODO / TRIP" button. Not only will the multifunction display light up and show you your current mileage (and yeah, I know a lot of cars do this), but also the whole instrument cluster will illuminate, and as a small bonus, the fuel gauge will "wake up" and show you how much gas is in your tank. Nice!

I dare you to not walk out to your garage right now to see it for yourself.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip

Cool indeed

Jayde · 06-06-2012, 10:16 PM

I'm going to try this in the morning!

I have to in my imagination... I live on the 3rd floor... And I have to walk out there at 6am anyway... So tempting to do it now though.

You made me go to the garage...but I was going there anyways to admire the car...LOL

very cool...when I was going through a few things...on the ODO...it says something like

S-ON? G-OFF? what are those two things..??

S-ON? I don't know that one... but G-OFF/G-ON is the gear selection indicator and fuel saver shift indicator (have mine on)

S-ON/OFF is for the tach doing the sweep at the start of the car.

Ah, slipped my mind; my FR-S doesn't show S-OFF/S-ON when cycling through the ODO button with the car off though...need the key in and in off or ACC position to get that option.

Video or it doesn't happen

YukiHachiRoku · 06-07-2012, 12:40 AM

it's cool, but honestly, it does not matter what these# show, just sayin... (you still get thanks though)

also, if you set the rev limit, every time you turn on the car, the rpm meter will jump to whatever you set the limit to, shine the light, pause, then return to idle. Just to remind you of your settings

thought that was pretty cool too.
