Subaru Forester: Starting and stopping engine (models with push-button start system) / Stopping engine
Stop the vehicle completely.
Move the select lever to the “P”
position.
Press the push-button ignition switch.
The engine will stop, and the power will be
switched off.
WARNING
- Do not touch the push-button
ignition switch during driving.
When the push-button ignition
switch is operated as follows,
the engine will stop.
- The switch is pressed and held
for 3 seconds or longer.
- The switch is pressed briefly 3
times or more in succession.
When the engine stops, the brake
booster will not function. A greater foot pressure will be required
on the brake pedal.
The power steering system will
not operate either. A greater force
will be required to steer, and it
may result in an accident.
- If the engine stops during driving,
do not operate the push-button
ignition switch or open any of the
doors until the vehicle is stopped
in a safe location. It is dangerous
because the steering lock may be
activated. Stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and contact a
SUBARU dealer immediately.
CAUTION
- Do not stop the engine while the
select lever is in a position other
than the “P” position.
- If the engine is stopped while the
select lever is in a position other
than the “P” position, the power
will be in “ACC”. If the vehicle is
left in this condition, the battery
may be discharged.
NOTE
Although you can stop the engine by
operating the push-button ignition
switch, do not stop the engine during
driving except in an emergency.
After stopping the engine and any door
including the rear gate is opened, the
steering wheel will be locked due to the
steering lock function.
When the engine is restarted, the steering
lock will be automatically released...
