Subaru Forester: Continuously variable transmission / P (Park) / R (Reverse) / N (Neutral) / D (Drive) /

This position is for parking the vehicle and starting the engine. In this position, the transmission is mechanically locked to prevent the vehicle from rolling freely.

When you park the vehicle, first apply the parking brake firmly, then shift into the “P” position. Do not hold the vehicle with only the mechanical friction of the transmission.
