Starting and operating

position and check the operation of the
warning and indicator lights. Refer to

“Warning and indicator lights” F3-13.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the

“START”

position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediately
after the engine has started.

If the engine does not start, try the
following.

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the

“OFF” position and wait for at least
10 seconds. After checking that the
parking brake is firmly set, turn the
ignition switch to the

“START” position

while depressing the accelerator pedal
slightly (approximately a quarter of the
full stroke). Release the accelerator
pedal as soon as the engine starts.
(2) If this fails to start the engine, turn
the ignition switch back to the

“OFF”

position and wait for at least 10
seconds. Then fully depress the accel-
erator pedal and turn the ignition
switch to the

“START” position. If the

engine starts, quickly release the
accelerator pedal.
(3) If this fails to start the engine, turn
the ignition switch again to the

“OFF”

position. After waiting for 10 seconds
or longer, turn the ignition switch to the

“START” position without depressing
the accelerator pedal.

(4) If the engine still refuses to start,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
for assistance.

6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have turned off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the
engine warms up.

While the engine is warming up, make
sure that the select lever is at the

“P” or

“N” position and that the parking brake is
applied.

CAUTION

If you restart the engine while the
vehicle is moving, shift the select
lever into the

“N” position. Do not

attempt to place the select lever of a
moving vehicle into the

“P” posi-

tion.

Stopping the engine

The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.

WARNING

Do not stop the engine when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause
loss of power to the power steering
and the brake booster, making steer-
ing and braking more difficult. It
could also result in accidental acti-
vation of the

“LOCK” position on the

ignition switch, causing the steering
wheel to lock.
