only when the engine is running.Do not leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in your
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people
or animals.

Starting and Stopping Engine
230When the warm-up is completed, the
engine speed lowers automatically.
On rare occasions, it may be difficult
to start the engine depending on the
fuel and the usage condition (repeated
driving of a distance in which the
engine has not warmed up suffi-
ciently). In such a case, it is recom-
mended that you change to a different
brand of fuel.
On rare occasions, transient
knocking may be heard from the
engine when the accelerator is oper-
ated rapidly such as a rapid start-up
and a rapid acceleration. This is not a
malfunction.
The engine starts more easily when
the headlights, air conditioner and rear
window defogger are turned off.■
Starting Engine NOTE
When pressing the push-button
ignition switch while depressing the
clutch pedal (MT models) or the brake
pedal (AT models): - The engine starter operates for a
maximum of 10 seconds and after
starting the engine, the 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 clutch pedal
WARNING
There are some general precau-
tions when starting the engine.
Carefully read the precautions
described in "General Precau-
tions When Starting Engine"
P229.
If the steering lock cannot be
released after the engine has
started, never drive the vehicle.
The steering is still locked, and it
may result in an accident.
CAUTION
If a system malfunction warning
message is displayed on the
combination meter, there may be
a malfunction with the vehicle.
Contact a SUBARU dealer imme-
diately.If a steering lock warning
message is displayed on the
combination me ter 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 igni-
tion 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 push-
button ignition switch without
depressing the clutch pedal (MT
models) or the brake pedal (AT
models) to switch the power
status to “OFF”. Wait 10 seconds,
and then press the push-button
ignition switch to start the
engine.

Steering Lock
After stopping the engine and any door is
opened, the steering wheel will be locked
due to the steering lock function.
When the engine is restarted, the steering
lock will be automatically released.
WARNING
Do not touch the push-button
ignition switch during driving.
When the push-button ignition
switch is operated as follows, the
engine will stop.–The switch is pressed and held
for 2 seconds or longer.–The switch is pressed briefly 3
times or more in succession.
When the engine stops, the brake
booster will not function. A
greater foot pressure will be
required on the brake pedal.The power steering system will
not operate either. A greater
force will be required to steer,
and it may result in an accident.
If the engine stops during driving,
do not operate the push-button
ignition switch or open any of the
doors until the vehicle is stopped
in a safe location. It is dangerous
because the steering lock may be
activated. Stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and contact a
SUBARU dealer immediately.
CAUTION
For AT models:Do not stop the engine while the
select lever is in a position other
than the “P” position.If the engine is stopped while the
select lever is in a position other

Maximum allowable speeds
The following table shows the maximum
speeds that are possible with each
different gear. The pointer of the tachom-
eter will enter the red area if these speeds
are exceeded.
With the exception of cases where sudden
acceleration is required, do not drive the
vehicle with the pointer of the tachometer
inside the red area. Failure to observe this
precaution can lead to excessive engine
wear and poor fuel economy.
NOTENever exceed the posted speed limit.■
Driving Tips
NOTE
If the accelerator and brake pedals are
depressed at the same time, driving
torque may be restrained. This is not a
malfunction.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal and do not use the clutch to
hold your vehicle at a standstill on an
upgrade. Either of those actions may
cause clutch damage.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
shift lever. This may cause wear on the
transmission components.
When it is necessary to reduce vehicle
speed due to slow traffic, turning corners,
or driving up steep hills, downshift to a
lower gear before the engine starts to
labor. On steep downgrades, downshift the
transmission to 5th, 4th, 3rd or 2nd gear
as necessary; this helps to maintain a safe
speed and to extend brake pad life.
In this way, the engine provides a braking
effect. Remember, if you “ride” (over use)
the brakes while descending a hill, they
may overheat and not work properly.
The engine may, on rare occasions, knock
when the vehicle rapidly accelerates or
rapidly pulls away from a standstill. This
phenomenon is not an indication of a
problem in your vehicle.
Gear
mph (km/h)
1st 28 (45)
2nd 47 (75)
WARNING
When shifting down a gear, ensure
that the vehicle is not travelling at a
speed exceeding the Maximum
Allowable Speed for the gear which
is about to be selected. Failure to
observe this precaution can lead to
engine over-revving and this in turn
can result in engine damage.
In addition, sudden application of
engine brakes when the vehicle is
travelling on a slippery surface can
lead to wheel locking; as a conse-
quence, control of the vehicle may
be lost and the risk of an accident
increased.

Automatic Transmission
2367-6. Automatic TransmissionThe automatic transmission is electroni-
cally controlled and provides 6 forward
speeds and 1 reverse speed. It also has a
manual mode.
NOTEWhen the engine coolant tempera-
ture is still low, the transmission will
shift at higher engine speeds than
when the coolant temperature is suffi-
ciently high in order to shorten the
warm-up time and improve driveability.
The gearshift timing will automaticallyshift to the normal timing after the
engine has warmed up.
Immediately after transmission fluid
is replaced, you may feel that the trans-
mission operation is somewhat
unusual. This results from invalidation
of data which the on-board computer
has collected and stored in memory to
allow the transmission to shift at the
most appropriate times for the current
condition of your vehicle. Optimized
shifting will be restored as the vehicle
continues to be driven for a while.
Place the shift boot to the original
position after it is lifted. If the shift lever
is operated with the shift boot in the
rolled up position, the shift boot may
have tension and it may disturb the
shift lever operation.
When the vehicle is idling at high
rpm in order to warm up, and the
vehicle is on a slippery road, the trans-
mission may automatically shift to 2nd
gear for stopping and starting off.
WARNING
Do not shift from the “P” or “N”
position into the “D” or “R” position
while depressing the accelerator
pedal. This may cause the vehicle to
lurch forward or backward.
CAUTION
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to observe these
precautions could cause damage
to the transmission.
- Shift into the “P” or “R” posi-
tion only after the vehicle has
completely stopped.- Do not shift from the “D” posi- tion into the “R” position or
vice versa until the vehicle
has completely stopped.
Do not race the engine for more
than 5 seconds in any position
except the “N” or “P” position
when the brake is applied or when
chocks are used in the wheels.
This may cause the transmission
fluid to overheat.Never move the vehicle rearward
by inertia with the select lever set
in a forward driving position or
move the vehicle forward by
inertia with the select lever set in
the “R” position. Doing so may
result in an unexpected accident
or malfunction.When parking the vehicle, first
securely apply the parking brake
and then place the select lever in
the “P” position. Do not park for a
long time with the select lever in
any other position as doing so
could result in a dead battery.

Select Lever : Shift with the brake pedal depressed
and push-button ignition switch in the “ON”
position. When shifting between “P” and “D”,
depress the brake pedal and securely stop
the vehicle before shifting.
The select lever has four positions, “P”,
“R”, “N”, “D” and also has a manual gate
for using the manual mode.NOTETo protect the engine while the select
lever is in the “P” or “N” position, the
engine is controlled so that the engine
speed may not become too high even
if the accelerator pedal is depressed
hard. ▼
P (Park)
This position is for parking the vehicle and
starting the engine. In this position, the
transmission is me chanically locked to
prevent the vehicle from rolling freely.
When you park the vehicle, first apply the
parking brake, then shift into the “P” posi-
tion. Do not hold the vehicle with only the
mechanical friction of the transmission.
To shift the select lever from the “P” to any
other position, you should depress the
brake pedal fully then move the select
lever. This prevents the vehicle from
lurching when it is started.
▼R (Reverse)
This position is for backing the vehicle. To
shift from the “N” to “R” position, stop the
vehicle completely then move the lever to
the “R” position.
▼N (Neutral)
This position is for restarting a stalled
engine. In this position, the transmission is
neutral, meaning that the wheels and
transmission are not locked. Therefore,
the vehicle will roll freely, even on the
slightest incline unless the parking brake
or foot brake is applied. ▼
D (Drive)
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically 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.
When you release the pedal, the transmis-
sion will return to the original gear posi-
tion.
To use the manual mode, move the lever
from this position into the manual gate.
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
702768
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
select lever in the “N” (neutral)
position. Engine braking has no
effect in this condition and the risk
of an accident is consequently
increased.
