Starting and operating
(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 does not 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 refuses to start,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
for assistance.
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.
