WARNING
. There are some general precau-
tions when starting the engine.
Carefully read the precautions
described in "General precau-
tions when starting/stopping en-
gine" F7-7.
. If the indicator on the push-
button ignition switch flashes in
green after the engine has
started, never drive the vehicle.
The steering is still locked, and it
may result in an accident.
CAUTION
. When the operation indicator on
the push-button ignition switch is
flashing in orange, there may be
a malfunction with the vehicle.
We recommend that you contact
a SUBARU dealer immediately.
. If the indicator on the push-
button ignition switch is flashing
in green after the engine has
started, it means that the steering
is still locked. While moving the
steering wheel right and left,
depress the brake pedal, and
press the push-button ignition
switch.
. Do not continue pressing the
push-button ignition switch for
more than 10 seconds. Doing so
could cause a malfunction. If the
engine does not start, stop
pressing the push-button ignition
switch. Instead, press the push-
button ignition switch without
depressing the brake pedal to
switch the power status to
"OFF". Wait 10 seconds, and
then press the push-button igni-
tion switch to start the engine.
NOTE
. When pressing the push-button igni-
tion switch while depressing the clutch
pedal (MT models) or brake pedal (CVT
models):
– The engine starter operates for a
maximum of 10 seconds and after
starting the engine, the starter
stops automatically.
– The engine can be started re-
gardless of the status of the push-
button ignition switch.
. If the engine does not start, check
the immobilizer indicator light. Then
press the push-button ignition switch
without depressing the clutch pedal
(MT models) or brake pedal (CVT
models) to switch the power to "OFF".
– If the light had illuminated, try to
start the engine again.
– If the light had been off, press the
push-button ignition switch while
depressing the clutch pedal (MT
models) or brake pedal (CVT mod-
els) more forcefully.
. The engine start procedures may
not function depending on the radio
wave conditions around the vehicle. In
such a case, refer to "Starting engine"
F9-29.
. If the vehicle battery is discharged,
the steering cannot be unlocked.
