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.

Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately.
