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:
When the alarm system is armed, it is
triggered by the opening any of the doors,
the rear gate or engine hood.
The alarm system will activate the following
alarms when triggered.
The vehicle’s horn will sound for 30
seconds.
The hazard warning flashers will flash
for 30 seconds...
NOTE
This section is applicable to the following
components.
Rear passenger’s seatbelt (windowside)
The pretensioner sensor also serves as
follows.
SRS frontal airbag sensor
Side impact sensor
Rollover sensor
If the sensor detects a certain predetermined
amount of force during frontal or
side collisions or rollover accidents, any
seatbelt that has a seatbelt pretensioner is
quickly drawn back in by the retractor to
take up the slack so that the belt more
effectively restrains the seat occupant...
