Subaru Forester: Starting and operating / Starting and stopping engine (models with push-button start system)
WARNING
There are some general precautions
when starting the engine.
Carefully read the precautions
described in “Starting engine”.
If the indicator on the push-button
ignition switch flashes in
green after the engine has
started, never drive the vehicle...
Other information:
Several of the warning and indicator lights
illuminate when the ignition switch is
initially turned to the “ON” position. This
permits checking the operation of the
bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the
ignition switch to the “ON” position...
The Auto Vehicle Hold function will automatically
keep the vehicle stopped even
after releasing the brake pedal when the
vehicle is at a complete stop, such as at
traffic signals.

function on a steep hill or slippery
road...
