2-1. Driving procedures

BRZ_U

CAUTION

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the push-button ignition switch in “ACC” or “ON” mode for
long periods of time without the engine running.

If the keyless access with push button start system indicator light (green)
is illuminated, the push-button ignition switch is not off. When exiting the
vehicle, always check that the push-button ignition switch is off.

Vehicles with an automatic transmission: Do not stop the engine when the
select lever is in a position other than P. If the engine is stopped in another
select lever position, the push-button ignition switch will not be turned off
but instead be turned to “ACC” mode. If the vehicle is left in “ACC” mode,
battery discharge may occur.

When starting the engine

Do not race a cold engine.

If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked by your SUBARU dealer immediately.

Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the push-button ignition
switch

If the push-button ignition switch seems to be operating somewhat differently
than usual, such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction.
Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately.
