Hi,

If you check the manual it says you can have the setting changed by the Subaru dealership. The default setting is in "normal" as per the manual. It can be set to either "off", “short”, "normal", or "long”. It doesn’t say how many minutes the light stays on though with the normal setting. FWIW, I haven’t seen it turn off by itself yet when I was having it tinted. BTW, I already got a good deal with the tint through a referral.

Cargo cover/flooring...

The cover of the spare tire compartment has a looped string to lift it up. I was wishing there was a hook to hang the cover using the string for ease of access to the tire/tools when there is nothing loaded inside the cargo. There are a multitude of other hooks in the cargo area but I can’t seem to find one for the spare tire cover… Anyone have an idea?

Hi,
Ask ko lang po when does the turbo starts to kick in? 2800rpm ba?

This sounds about right. Yung akin pag hindi naka power mode at lumusot ako ng mahinahon sa highway, pag sinustain ko ang tulin sumisipa ang turbo mga 130+ kph na ang takbo. Then I freak out and step on the brakes. hahaha.

Tapos mga pasahero ko -- " Oh bakit ba preno ka ng preno wala namang kasalubong?" hahaha. Di nila alam 150 na takbo.

Madali kayong mapapagkamalang Revo na matulin pag naka FXT kayo.
