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.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) System
246The ABS prevents the lock-up of wheels
which may occur during sudden braking or
braking on slippery road surfaces. This
helps prevent the loss of steering control
and directional stability caused by wheel
lock-up.
When the ABS is operating, you may hear
a chattering noise or feel a slight vibration
in the brake pedal. This is normal when
the ABS operates.■
ABS Self-Check
You may feel a slight shock in the brake
pedal and hear the operating noise of the
ABS from the engine compartment just
after the vehicle is started. This is caused
by an automatic functional test of the ABS
being carried out and does not indicate
any abnormal condition.■
ABS Warning Light
Refer to "ABS Warning Light" P140.
7-12. Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) SystemThe EBD system maximizes the effective-
ness of the brakes by allowing the rear
brakes to supply a greater proportion of
the braking force. It functions by adjusting
the distribution of braking force to the rear
wheels in accordance with the vehicle’s
loading condition and speed.
The EBD system is an integral part of the
ABS and uses some of the ABS compo-
nents to perform its function of optimizing
the distribution of braking force. If any of
the ABS components used by the EBD
function fails, the EBD system also stops
working.
When the EBD system is operating, you
may hear a chattering noise or feel a slight
vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
■
EBD System Malfunctions
If a malfunction occurs in the EBD system,
the system stops working and the
following warning lights illuminate simulta-
neously.
Brake system warning light
ABS warning light
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
warning light
If the both warning light remains on even
though the parking brake is released, the
brake fluid level may be low or there could
be a problem with the EBD system. Park
the vehicle in a safe place immediately
and contact an SUBARU dealer.
When you feel the ABS operating,
you should maintain constant
brake pedal pressure. Do not
pump the brake pedal since doing
so may defeat the operation of the
ABS.

BSD/RCTA approach indicator light and
the warning buzzer may be delayed or the
system may fail to issue these warnings.
- When a vehicle moves to the neigh-
boring lane from a lane next to the
neighboring lane
- When driving on a steep incline or
on repeated sharp uphill and downhill
grades
- When going beyond a pass

324holes, return the plugs to their original
places.■
Using a Flat-Bed Truck
This is the best way to transport your
vehicle. Use the following procedures to
ensure safe transportation.
1. Shift the select lever into the “P” posi-
tion for AT models. Shift the shift lever into
the “1st” position for MT models.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier
properly with safety chains. Each safety
chain should be equally tightened and
care must be taken not to pull the chains
so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.

Towing with All Wheels on
the Ground
WARNING
Use the rear tie-down holes only for
downward anchoring. If they are
used to anchor the vehicle in any
other direction, cables may slip out
of the holes, possibly causing a
dangerous situation.
900488
CAUTION
Transport by flat-bed truck may
cause the headlights to become
misaligned. In such a case, have the
headlight alignment checked by a
SUBARU dealer after transporting
the vehicle by flat-bed truck.
WARNING
Never turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position while the
vehicle is being towed because
the steering wheel and the direc-
tion of the wheels will be locked.Remember that the brake booster
and power steering do not func-
tion when the engine is not
running. Because the engine is
turned off, it w ill take greater
effort to operate the brake pedal
and steering wheel.

in the engine compartment. Also, the fuse
puller are stored in the fuse box.
Pinch the upper part of the fuse puller
when removing it from the main fuse box.
1) Good
2) BlownIf any lights, accessories or other elec-
trical controls do not operate, inspect the
corresponding fuse. If a fuse has blown,
replace it.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position and turn off all electrical accesso-
ries.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Determine which fuse may be blown.
Look at the back side of each fuse box
cover.4. Pull out the fuse with the fuse puller.
5. Inspect the fuse. If it has blown,
replace it with a spare fuse of the same
rating.
6. If the same fuse blows again, this indi-
cates that its system has a problem.
Contact your SUBARU dealer for repairs.
