position and check the operation of the
warning and indicator lights. Refer to
“Warning and indicator lights ”F 3-13.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediately
after the engine has started.
If the engine does not start, try the
following procedure.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK”/ “OFF”position and wait for at
least 10 seconds. After checking that
the parking brake is firmly set, turn the
ignition switch to the “START”position
while depressing the accelerator pedal
slightly (approximately a quarter of the
full stroke). Release the accelerator
pedal as soon as the engine starts.
(2) If this fails to start the engine, turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK”/
“OFF ”position and wait for at least 10
seconds. Then fully depress the accel-
erator pedal and turn the ignition
switch to the “START ”position. If the

pedal.
(4) If the engine still refuses to start,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
for assistance.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have turned off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the
engine warms up.
While the engine is warming up, make
sure that the select lever is at 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
moving vehicle into the “P”posi-
tion.
& Stopping the engine
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.

flashing in orange, there may be
a malfunction with the vehicle.
Contact a SUBARU dealer imme-
diately.

pedal while moving the steering
wheel to the right and left, and
press the push-button ignition
switch.
. Do not continue pushing the
push-button ignition switch for
more than 10 seconds. Doing so
could cause a malfunction. If the

switch is pressed while depressing the brake pedal, the engine starter
operates for a maximum of 10 seconds
and after starting the engine, the starter
stops automatically.

nates when you attempt to start the
engine but the engine does not start,
press the push-button ignition switch
to switch the power to “OFF”and then
try to start the engine again.

the push-button ignition switch without
depressing the brake pedal to switch
the power to “OFF”. Then, while de-
pressing the brake pedal more force-
fully, press the push-button ignition
switch.
. The engine start procedures may

Starting and operating/Continuously variable transmission
NOTE
If the select lever is in the“N”position
when you stop the engine for parking,
you may not subsequently be able to
move it to the “R”and “P”positions. If
this happens, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON ”position. You will then be able
to move the select lever to the “P”
position.
! D (Drive)
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically and con-
tinuously into a suitable gear according to
the vehicle speed and the acceleration
you require. Also, while driving up and
down a hill, the transmission assists and
controls the driving performance and
engine braking while corresponding to
the road grade.
When more acceleration is required in “D”
position, depress the accelerator pedal
fully to the floor and hold that position. The
transmission will automatically downshift.
In this case, the transmission will operate
like a conventional automatic transmis-
sion. When you release the pedal, the
transmission will return to the original gear
position.
For models with manual mode, if one of
the shift paddles behind the steering wheel is operated while driving in the
“D”
position, the transmission will temporarily
switch to the manual mode. In this mode,
you can shift into any gear position using
the shift paddles. For details about the
manual mode, refer to “Selection of
manual mode” F7-26. Once the vehicle
speed stabilizes, the transmission will
switch from the manual mode back to
the “D”position for normal driving.
& Selection of manual mode (if
equipped)
With the vehicle either moving or station-
ary, move the select lever from the “D”
position to the “M”position to select the
manual mode.
