Stopping The Engine - Subaru impreza 2017 Owner's Manual

Starting and operating/Starting and stopping the engine (models without push button start system)
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position and check the operation of the
warning and indicator lights. Refer to
Warning and indicator 3-13.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the START
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediately
after the engine has started.
If the engine does not start, try the
following procedure.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK / OFF position and wait for at
least 10 seconds. After checking that
the parking brake is firmly set, 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 /
OFF 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 / OFF 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.
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.
CAUTION
If you restart the engine while the
vehicle is moving, shift the select
lever into the N position. Do not
attempt to place the select lever of a
moving vehicle into the
tion.

Stopping the engine

The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.
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
tion on the ignition switch, causing
the steering wheel to lock.
