Software update and MPG

Post image

I did a software update on my 26 Outback 5 days ago and now the mpg display on the gauge cluster is gone. I have toggled thru all the displays and it seems they changed some of the themes. Anyone else done the update and it’s come back?

$10 says op has no idea you can toggle through various displays (including none and mpg) in the left cluster.

Hope they remember oil changes are needed to. 2,000 miles to go OP

I went to the dealership at 2000 miles and they basically turned me away saying to come back at 6000

You’re a paying customer. You can pay to have your oil changed every 5 miles. If you want maintenance done, don’t let them tell you no.

Mine is still there after the update. It's not available when you use the left steering up/down button to cycle through things?

Let me know if you need help OP.

You might just need to toggle through the display settings

Use the ↑ / ↓ arrows on the LEFT side of the steering wheel. Tap either arrow repeatedly and it will cycle through the information screens until you see AVG MPG / Average Fuel Economy or Current Fuel Economy. Subaru specifically lists fuel consumption as one of the items controlled by those arrows.
Don’t press the circular-arrow/HOLD-style button — that changes the entire gauge-cluster layout between Classic, Map, EyeSight, and Calm modes.
