Subaru Forester: Starting and operating / Auto Start Stop system

automatically stop and restart the engine
when the vehicle is stationary for a short
period of time (while waiting for a traffic

The Auto Start Stop system is designed
to automatically stop and

of time during idling. Do not use the
system when parking the vehicle
