Subaru Forester: Continuously variable transmission / Shift lock function
The shift lock function helps prevent the
improper operation of the select lever.
- The select lever cannot be operated
unless the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
- The select lever cannot be moved from
the “P” position to any other position before
the brake pedal is depressed. Depress the
brake pedal first, and then operate the
select lever.
- Only the “P” position allows you to turn
the ignition switch from the “ACC” position
to the “LOCK”/“OFF” position and remove
the key from the ignition switch.
- If the ignition switch is turned to the
“ACC” position while the select lever is in
the “N” position, the select lever may not
be moved to the “P” position without
depressing the brake pedal and pressing
the select lever button.
If the select lever cannot be operated, turn
the ignition switch back to the “ON”
position then move the select lever to the
“P” position with the select lever button
pressed and the brake pedal depressed...
