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...

WARNING
Always use the utmost care in driving
– overconfidence because you
are driving a vehicle with the Vehicle
Dynamics Control system could easily
lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the Vehicle Dynamics Control
system, winter tires should
be used when driving on snowcovered
or icy roads; in addition,
vehicle speed should be reduced
considerably...
NOTE
When the vehicle is stopped and the
driver’s door is opened and closed, the
Driver Monitoring System automatically
turns ON regardless of the pushbutton
ignition switch status.
After the Driver Monitoring System
was turned OFF, if the Driver Monitoring
System is turned ON while the driver’s
door is open, user recognition may not
occur correctly...
