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:
Perform any of the following operations to
release the Auto Vehicle Hold function.
Depress the accelerator pedal.
Depress the brake pedal again.
Apply the electronic parking brake.
Shift the select lever to the “P” position
with the brake pedal pressed...
When the procedure to disable the functions
is performed again, a chirp will
sound, and the functions are enabled.
NOTE
The keyless access function will be
enabled only if you perform the procedure
in the same manner used to
disable the function (for example, when
disabling by operating the driver’s
door, the function will not be enabled
even if you operate the access key fob)...
