Starting and stopping engine (models with push-button start system)
While the engine is warming up, make sure
that the select lever is in the “P” or “N”
position and that the parking brake is
applied.
CAUTION
If you restart the engine while the
vehicle is moving, shift the select
lever into the “N” position. Do not
attempt to place the select lever of a

& Stopping the engine
S07BD02
The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.
WARNING
Do not stop the engine when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause
loss of power to the power steering
and the brake booster, making steer-
ing and braking more difficult. It
could also result in accidental acti-
vation of the “LOCK”/“OFF” posi-
tion on the ignition switch, causing
the steering wheel to lock.

WARNING
. There are some general precau-
tions when starting the engine.
Carefully read the precautions
described in “Starting engine”
FP300.
. If the indicator on the push-but-
ton ignition switch flashes in
green after the engine has
started, never drive the vehicle.
The steering is still locked, and it
may result in an accident.
– CONTINUED –
engine starts, quickly release the ac-
celerator pedal.
(3) If this fails to start the engine, turn
the ignition switch again to the “LOCK”/
“OFF” position. After waiting for 10
seconds or longer, turn the ignition
switch to the “START” position without
depressing the accelerator pedal.
(4) If the engine still does not start,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
for assistance.

lights have turned off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the
engine warms up.
