Stopping The Engine; Remote Engine Start System (Dealer Option) - Subaru 2011 Tribeca Owner's Manual

7-8
Starting and operating
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.
NOTE
. The engine may be difficult to start
when the battery has been discon-
nected and reconnected (for mainte-
nance or other purposes). This diffi-
culty is caused by the electronically
controlled throttle's self-diagnosis
function. To overcome it, keep the
ignition switch in the "ON" position
for approximately 10 seconds before
starting the engine.
. To protect the engine while the
select lever is in the "P" or "N"
position, the engine is controlled so
that the engine speed may not become
too high even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed hard.

Stopping the engine

WARNING
Do not stop the engine when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause
loss of power to the power steering
and the brake booster, making steer-
ing and braking more difficult. It
could also result in accidental acti-
vation of the "LOCK" position on the
ignition switch, causing the steering
wheel to lock.
The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.
Remote engine start system
(dealer option)
WARNING
. Do not start the engine using the
remote start system in an en-
closed environment (e.g. closed
garage). Prolonged operation of
a motor vehicle in an enclosed
environment can cause a harmful
build-up of Carbon Monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide is harmful to
your health. Exposure to high
levels of Carbon Monoxide can
cause headaches, dizziness or in
extreme cases unconsciousness
and/or death.
. Before performing any servicing
of the vehicle, temporarily place
the remote engine start system in
service mode to prevent the
system from unexpectedly start-
ing the engine.
