I'm surprised how many folks do not read the stuff that came with their new car. I must be a freak.

RTFM is one of the few acroynyms I really like.

But to be fair, I don't really read the manual either. I do scan it for pertinent info and use it as a reference guide.

To make this post on topic....
After pulling my battery cable to reset my CEL/SL, I lost those settings. I just got it all set back up. I did not reference the manual though. I wanted to test my memory....

I don't read a manual, until I have a question like that. At least the site didn't get so full of why are my parking lights on threads that it got stickies (happened on nasioc, lol)

S is for suction. Basically the car gives you a blowjob.

I bet you want a BRZ now.

THIS.

I read the manual, and I have my shift-light indicator set at 7k, tach sweep on, but how do I get the gear itself to show up? I'm driving a manual, and I feel like I'm missing something.

To be fair this thread was created before the car was even released...

I want to see my revs quickly and accurately when starting up.

Mine has the sweep...I thought they all did.

They do you just need to play with some settings.

Well it's not there to serve a real purpose, it's just eye candy. One could say that a lot of physical aspects of a car aren't necessary.

Fair enough, but it only takes 1-1.5 seconds to go back down. Personal preference I guess, I like the added little touches in Subaru's.

It's pointless to debate on this. Because, it's all opinion and there are no right answer. ;)
