Subaru Forester: Continuously variable transmission / Driving tips

CAUTION

If the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, driving torque may be restrained. This is not a malfunction.

Always apply the foot or parking brake when the vehicle is stopped in the “D” or “R” position.
Make sure to apply the parking brake when parking your vehicle. Do not hold the vehicle with only the mechanical friction of the transmission.
Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary position on an uphill grade by using the “D” position. Use the brake instead.
The engine may, on rare occasions, knock when the vehicle rapidly accelerates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill. This phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
