Subaru Forester: Displaying the Auto Start Stop system status / System warning / System warning

So that it can be used safely and comfortably, the Auto Start Stop system is designed to constantly monitor the vehicle conditions as well as the environment inside and outside the vehicle in addition to driver operations, and to provide various warnings to the driver via the warning light and/or indicator light illuminating or flashing and a buzzer sounding. For details about the warning light and indicator light, refer to “Auto Start Stop warning light/Auto Start Stop OFF indicator light (yellow)”.

Warning buzzer

The buzzer will sound when the engine hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Auto Start Stop system. When this occurs, the buzzer will stop sounding when the following operations are performed.

The engine is restarted by normal operation. (Refer to “Preparing to drive”.)

The ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK”/“OFF” position.

Display of warning messages (models with combination meter display (color LCD))

If a warning message is displayed on the combination meter display (color LCD) while driving, a malfunction may have occurred in the Auto Start Stop system. In this case, the Auto Start Stop warning light will illuminate or flash in yellow. We recommend that you have your vehicle inspected at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
