(4) If the engine still refuses to start,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
for assistance.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have gone out 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.
NOTE
. The engine may be difficult to start
when the battery has been discon-
nected and reconnected (for mainte-
nance or other purposes). This diffi-
culty is caused by the electronically
controlled throttle
’s self-diagnosis
function. To overcome it, keep the
ignition switch in the
“ON” position
for approximately 10 seconds before
starting the engine.
. For non-turbo models, to protect the
engine while the select lever is in the
“P” or “N” position, the engine is
controlled so that the engine speed
may not become too high even if the
accelerator pedal is depressed hard.
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.
