Default What does do or tell you?

In the bottom of the right instrument cluster next to the cruise control is some sorts of distance meter . While driving it goes from 300 to around 150 ft not sure what it is telling me. I have look in manual and haven’t found it

I assume elevation above sea level. That gauge is customizable, I’m sure there is something more useful you could put there.

Yep, that's what it is. Had it in my '88 Subaru too!

You may have inadvertently proposed a viable idea... What if that were a real thing and companies could buy targeted ad placements? Distance to Starbucks, McDonald's, Chevron, whatever... selected based on historical location tracking and purchase history. Doesn't Waze, for example, already do this stuff on the map? Why aren't car manufacturers trying to get a piece of that pie?

I live at ~8,000 feet of elevation and I often drive at 10,000 feet or more. I really like the elevation gauge.

Well, Porsche's engineers are all tied of trying to figure out how to make a cup holder for the 992.

Wow, I've never even noticed that was an available option as a gauge. Definitely an altimeter.

Or worse yet, targeted adds (like plague your browser) that show up on your PCM as you drive by a particular business. I think they have already proposed such a system when walking through a Wal Mart or brick and mortar store; adds pop up on your phone as you walk by certain products on the shelves.
