the surrounding area with youreyes and mirrors, and movebackward at a slow speed. Mov-ing backward only by checkingthe rear view image from thecamera could cause an accident.
.Do not disassemble or modify thecamera, switch or wiring. Ifsmoke comes out or you smella strange odor, stop using therear view camera immediately.Contact your SUBARU dealerfor an inspection. Continued usemay result in accident, fire orelectric shock.
CAUTION
.If your vehicle is washed with ahigh-pressure washer, do notallow water to contact the cameradirectly. Entry of water in thecamera lens may result in con-densation, malfunction, fire orelectric shock.
.Since the camera is a precisiondevice, do not subject it to strongimpacts. Otherwise, malfunction,fire or electric shock may occur.
.If mud or snow sticks to or isfrozen on the camera, you must
be very careful removing it.Otherwise, damage done to thecamera may cause a fire orelectric shock. Pour water orlukewarm water over the camerato remove mud and ice, and wipeit with a soft, dry cloth.
.Do not put a flame close to thecamera or wiring. Otherwise, da-mage or fire may occur.
.When replacing the fuse, be sureto use a fuse with the specifiedrating. Use of a fuse with adifferent rating may result in amalfunction.
.If the rear view camera is used fora long time while the engine isnot operated, the battery maybecome completely discharged.

NOTE
Engine oil, engine coolant, brake fluid,washer fluid and other fluid levelsshould be checked daily, weekly or atfuel stops.
Starting the engine
CAUTION
.Do not operate the starter motorcontinuously for more than 10seconds. If the engine fails tostart after operating the starterfor 5 to 10 seconds, wait for 10seconds or more before tryingagain.
.If you restart the engine while thevehicle is moving, shift the selectlever into the“N”position. Donot attempt to place the selectlever of a moving vehicle into the“P”position.
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn off unnecessary lights and ac-cessories.
3. Shift the select lever to the“P”or“N”position (preferably“P”position). Thestarter will only operate when the selectlever is at the“P”or“N”position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the“ON”position and check the operation of thewarning and indicator lights. Refer to“Warning and indicator lights”F3-9.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the“START”positionwithoutdepressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediatelyafter the engine has started.
If the engine does not start, try thefollowing.(1) Turn the ignition switch to the“LOCK”position and wait for at least10 seconds. After checking that theparking brake is firmly set, turn theignition switch to the“START”positionwhile depressing the accelerator pedalslightly (approximately a quarter of thefull stroke).Release the acceleratorpedal as soon as the engine starts.(2) If this fails to start the engine, turnthe ignition switch back to the“LOCK”position and wait for at least 10seconds.Then fully depress the accel-erator pedal and turn the ignitionswitch to the“START”position. If theengine starts, quickly release theaccelerator pedal.(3) If this fails to start the engine, turnthe ignition switch again to the“LOCK”position.After waiting for 10 secondsor longer, turn the ignition switch to the“START”position without depressingthe accelerator pedal.(4) If the engine still refuses to start,contact your nearest SUBARU dealerfor assistance.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicatorlights have turned off after the engine has

started. The fuel injection system auto-matically lowers the idle speed as theengine warms up.
While the engine is warming up, makesure that the select lever is at the“P”or“N”position and that the parking brake isapplied.
NOTE
.The engine may be difficult to startwhen the battery has been discon-nected and reconnected (for mainte-nance or other purposes). This diffi-culty is caused by the electronicallycontrolled throttle’sself-diagnosisfunction. To overcome it, keep theignition switch in the“ON”positionfor approximately 10 seconds beforestartingthe engine..To p r o t e c t t h e e n g i n e w h i l e t h eselect lever is in the“P”or“N”position, the engine is controlled sothat the engine speed may not becometoo high even if the accelerator pedal isdepressed hard.
Stopping the engine
WARNING
Do not stop the engine when thevehicle is moving. This will causeloss of power to the power steeringand the brakebooster, making steer-ing and braking more difficult. Itcould also result in accidental acti-vation of the“LOCK”position on theignition switch, causing the steeringwheel to lock.
The ignition switch should be turned offonly whenthe vehicle is stopped and theengine is idling.
Remote engine start system
