Shift Lock Function - Subaru CROSSTREK HYBRID 2016 Owner's Manual

7-18
Starting and operating/Continuously variable transmission
Gearshifts can be performed using the
shift paddle behind the steering wheel.
To upshift to the next higher gear position,
pull the shift paddle that has + indicated
on it. To downshift to the next lower gear
position, pull the shift paddle that has
indicated on it.
To deselect the manual mode, return the
select lever to the D position from the M
position.
CAUTION
Do not place or hang anything on
the shift paddles. Doing so may
result in accidental gear shifting.
NOTE
Please read the following points care-
fully and bear them in mind when using
the manual mode.
. If you attempt to shift down when
the engine speed is too high, i.e., when
a downshift would push the tachometer
needle beyond the red zone, beeps will
be emitted to warn you that the down-
shift is not possible.
. If you attempt to shift up when the
vehicle speed is too low, the transmis-
sion will not respond.
. You can perform a skip-shift (for
example, from 4th to 2nd) by operating
the shift paddle twice in rapid succes-
sion.
. The transmission automatically se-
lects 1st gear when the vehicle stops
moving.
. If the temperature of the transmis-
sion fluid becomes too high, the AT
OIL TEMP warning light on the combi-
nation meter will illuminate. Immedi-
ately stop the vehicle in a safe location
and let the hybrid system idle until the
warning light turns off.

Shift lock function

The shift lock function helps prevent the
improper operation of the select lever.
. The select lever cannot be operated
unless the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
. The select lever cannot be moved from
the P position to any other position
before the brake pedal is depressed.
Depress the brake pedal first, and then
operate the select lever.
. Only the P position allows you to turn
the push-button ignition switch to the
OFF position.
. If the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position while the select lever is in
the N position, the select lever may not
be moved to the P position after a period
of time. Therefore, move the select lever
to the P position with the brake pedal
depressed soon after the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position.
Shift lock release
If the select lever cannot be operated, turn
the ignition switch back to the
position then move the select lever to the
P position with the select lever button
pressed and brake pedal depressed.
If the select lever does not move after
