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...
