The ignition timing marks on the 1.2L engine, are located at the front of the engine, on the crankshaft pulley. On 1.6L and 1.8L engines except XT models, the ignition timing marks are located on the edge of the flywheel, at the rear of the engine. The marks mounted on the flywheel are visible through a port in the flywheel housing located just behind the oil dipstick tube. A plastic cover protects the port through which the flywheel-mounted marks are visible.

The ignition timing marks on XT models (1.8L and 2.7L engines), are located on the right front side of the engine, near the crankshaft pulley.

On 2.2L and 2.5L engine, the ignition timing marks are located on the front of the engine, near the crankshaft pulley.

The 3.3L engine has no timing marks because timing on the 3.3L engine is determined by the fuel injection system control unit and cannot be adjusted without the use of a Subaru Select Monitor test tool.
