Preheating indicator light
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON"
position and check the operation of the
warning and indicator lights. At this time,
confirm that the preheating indicator light
has illuminated for a few seconds and has
turned off. Refer to "Warning and indicator
lights" F3-14.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "START"
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediately
after the engine has started.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have turned off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the
engine warms up.
NOTE
You may feel vibration during engine
idling for several tens of seconds. This
vibration is caused by a self-learning
procedure of the injector. This learning
procedure is necessary to stabilize the
best engine performance. Therefore, it
does not indicate a malfunction.
! CVT petrol engine models
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn off unnecessary lights and ac-
cessories.
3. Shift the select lever to the "P" or "N"
position (preferably "P" position).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON"
position and check the operation of the
warning and indicator lights. Refer to
"Warning and indicator lights" F3-14.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "START"

tor pedal. Release the key immediately
after the engine has started.
If the engine does not start, perform the
following procedures.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" position and wait for at least
10 seconds. After checking that the
parking brake is applied, turn the
ignition switch to the "START" position
while depressing the accelerator pedal
slightly (approximately a quarter of the
full stroke). Release the accelerator
pedal as soon as the engine starts.
(2) If this fails to start the engine, turn
the ignition switch back to the "LOCK"
position and wait for at least 10
seconds. Then fully depress the accel-
erator pedal and turn the ignition
switch to the "START" position. If the
engine starts, quickly release the
accelerator pedal.
(3) If this fails to start the engine, turn
the ignition switch again to the "LOCK"
position. After waiting for 10 seconds
or longer, turn the ignition switch to the
"START" position without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
(4) If the engine still does not start, we
recommend that you contact your
nearest SUBARU dealer for assis-
tance.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have turned off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the
engine warms up.
While the engine is warming up, make
sure that the select lever is at the "P" or
"N" position and that the parking brake is
applied.
