Subaru Forester: Starting and operating / Auto Start Stop system
The Auto Start Stop system is designed to
automatically stop and restart the engine
when the vehicle is stationary for a short
period of time (while waiting for a traffic
light or in a traffic jam) after the engine has
warmed up. The system operates in order
to reduce fuel consumption, exhaust emissions
and undesired idling noise.
CAUTION
The Auto Start Stop system is designed
to automatically stop and
restart the engine for a short period
of time during idling. Do not use the
system when parking the vehicle
normally...
Other information:
WARNING
The Hill start assist system is a
device only for helping the driver
to START the vehicle on an uphill
grade. To prevent accidents
when the vehicle is parked on a
slope, be sure to firmly set the
parking brake. When setting the
parking brake, make sure that the
vehicle remains stationary when
the brake pedal is released...
WARNING
Adequate size trailer brakes are
required when the trailer and its
cargo exceed 1,000 lbs (453 kg)
total weight.
Do not directly connect your
trailer’s hydraulic brake system
to the hydraulic brake system in
your vehicle. Direct connection
would cause the vehicle’s brake
performance to deteriorate and
could lead to an accident...
