Starting and Stopping Engine( Models with Push-Button Start System)
CAUTION
. When the operation indicator on the push-button ignition switch is flashing in orange, there may be a malfunction with the vehicle. Contact a SUBARU dealer immediately.
. If the indicator on the push-button ignition switch is flashing in green after the engine has started, it means that the steering is still locked. While moving the steering wheel right and left, depress the brake pedal, and press the push-button ignition switch.
. Do not continue pressing the push-button ignition switch for more than 10 seconds. Doing so could cause a malfunction. If the engine does not start, stop pressing the push-button ignition switch. Instead, press the pushbutton ignition switch without depressing the brake pedal to switch the power status to“ OFF”. Wait 10 seconds, and then press the push-button ignition switch to start the engine.
NOTE
. When pressing the push-button ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal: – The engine starter operates for a maximum of 10 seconds and after starting the engine, the engine starter stops automatically.
– The engine can be started regardless of the power status.
. If the engine does not start, check the security indicator light. Then press the push-button ignition switch without depressing the brake pedal to switch the power to“ OFF”. – If the light had illuminated, try to start the engine again.
– If the light had been off, press the push-button ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal more forcefully.
. The engine start procedures may not function depending on the radio wave conditions around the vehicle. In such a case, refer to“ Starting Engine” FP443.
. If the vehicle battery is discharged, the steering cannot be unlocked. Charge the battery.
. It may be difficult to start the engine when the battery has been disconnected and reconnected( for maintenance or other purposes). This difficulty is caused by the electronically controlled throttle’ s self-diagnosis function. To overcome it, keep the ignition switch in the“ ON” position for approximately 10 seconds before starting the engine.. After the engine starts, the engine speed will be kept high.
. Do not shift the select lever while the engine starter is cranking.
