AUTO START–STOP
The Auto Start-Stop system is designed to automatically stop and
restart the engine when the vehicle is stationary for a short period of
time (while waiting for a traffic light or in a traffic jam) after the
engine has warmed up. The system operates in order to reduce fuel
consumption, exhaust emissions and undesired idling noise. You
can learn more about using the Auto Start-Stop system from the
how-to video linked in the QR code and from the sections below.
Auto Start-Stop System ON/OFF
The Auto Start-Stop system can be turned on
and off in the Center Information Display (CID)
by using the Auto Start-Stop button on the
Home screen.
NOTE: The system will default to ON after the
vehicle has been shut off.
When the Auto Start-Stop system is turned OFF, the Auto Start-Stop OFF
indicator light in the combination meter display will illuminate. This is a solid
yellow indicator.

System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, in addition to driver operations, the Auto
Start-Stop system is designed to constantly monitor the vehicle conditions as well as the
environment inside and outside the vehicle, in order to control stopping and restarting of
the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely stopped by depressing the brake pedal with the select
lever in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically stopped. When you release the brake
pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically restarted.
If the engine is temporarily stopped by the system, the Auto Start-Stop
indicator light on the combination meter will illuminate in green. This indicator
light will turn off when the system restarts the engine.
Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) also integrates seamlessly with Auto Start-Stop
functions. With AVH, the parking brake automatically applies, so you can sit without your foot
on the brake pedal. To restart the engine, just gently press down on the accelerator pedal.
There are several operating conditions for this system to operate as intended. Please refer
to “Starting and Operating” in your Owner’s Manual for further information.
Auto Start-Stop Screen
Approximate indications of the time that the
engine has been stopped by the Auto
Start-Stop System and the amount of fuel
saved can be displayed on the Combination
Meter Display using the arrow switches. The
values are calculated from the most recent
reset of the currently displayed trip meter.
No Activity Detected Indicator Light
If the operational conditions are not met when the vehicle is stopped, the
engine will not stop and the Auto Start-Stop No Activity Detected indicator
light will illuminate. This indicator is solid white when illuminated. It will turn off
when the vehicle begins to drive.
Auto Start-Stop Warning Light
The Auto Start-Stop warning light will illuminate in yellow when initially turning
the ignition switch to the “ON” position. The light will turn off after the engine
has started.
NOTE: If the Auto Start-Stop warning light does not turn off or is flashing
yellow after the engine has started, the Auto Start-Stop system may be malfunctioning.
We recommend that you contact your authorized SUBARU Retailer for an inspection.
