& Starting your vehicleThe remote control start system is acti-
vated by pressing the “
”button twice
within 3 seconds on your remote control
transmitter. The system will check certain
pre-conditions before starting, and if all
safety parameters are correct, the engine
will start within 5 seconds. While the
vehicle is operating via remote engine
start, the vehicle’ s power window features
will be disabled. Also, the system has a
timer and will shut down after 15 minutes if
you do not operate the vehicle. Press and
hold the “
”button for 2 seconds again
to turn the vehicle off. If the vehicle ’s
starter cranks but does not start or starts
and stalls, the remote engine start system
will power off then attempt to start the vehicle an additional four times. If the
vehicle fails to start after the additional
attempts, the remote engine start system
will abort and return to a non activated
state.

to the “OFF”position, movement of the
selector lever from the “N”position to the
“R ”position is possible for a limited time
period and then becomes impossible.
Also, the selector lever cannot be moved
to the “R ” position when it has been
placed in the “P”position and then placed
again in the “N”position. When movement
of the selector lever from the “N”position
to the “R”position has become impossi-
ble, turn the ignition switch back to the
“ON ”position then move the selector lever
to the “P”position. Pressing the selector
lever release button also makes it possible
to move the selector lever to the “P”
position at this time.
! Selector lever release buttonIf you inadvertently have turned the igni- tion switch to the
“OFF”position with the
selector lever in the “N”position, proceed
as follows. By referring to the “Shift lock
release ”section in this chapter, remove
the shift lock release cover. Then, with the
screwdriver inserted into the hole, move
the selector lever to the “P”position. If the
selector lever reverse inhibiting function
fails, have the vehicle inspected by the
nearest SUBARU dealer.

Driving tips
! Wiper operation when snowing
Before driving in cold weather, make sure
the wiper blades are not frozen to the
windshield or rear window. If the wiper
blades are frozen to the windshield or rear
window, use the defroster with the airflow
control button/dial in the “
”position and
the temperature control dial set for max-
imum warmth until the wiper blades are
completely thawed out. If your vehicle is
equipped with a wiper deicer, it is helpful
to thaw the windshield wiper blades. To
thaw out the rear wiper blade, use the rear
window defogger.
When driving in snow, if frozen snow starts
to stick on the surface of the windshield
despite wiper operation, use the defroster
with the airflow control button/dial in “
”
and the temperature control dial set for
maximum warmth. After the windshield
gets warmed enough to melt the frozen
snow on it, wash it away using the
windshield washer.
Snow stuck on the wiper arm prevents the
wiper from working effectively. If snow is
stuck on the wiper arm, pull off the road to
a safe place, then remove it. If you stop
the vehicle at road side, use the hazard
warning flasher to alert other drivers.
We recommend use of non-freezing type
wiper blades (winter blades) during the seasons you could have snow and sub-
zero temperatures. Blades of this type
give superior wiping performance in
snowy conditions. Be sure to use blades
that are suitable for your vehicle.
CAUTION
During high-speed driving, non-
freezing type wiper blades may not
perform as well as standard wiper
blades. If this happens, reduce the
vehicle speed.NOTEWhen the season requiring non-freez-
ing type wiper blades is over, replace
them with standard wiper blades.&
Corrosion protectionRefer to the “Corrosion protection ”section
(chapter 10).& Snow tires! All models except OUTBACK or
2.5GT spec.B
WARNING
.When replacing original tires with winter (snow) tires, make sure
you use only the same size,
construction and load range as
the original tires listed on the tire
placard. Using other sizes and
construction may affect speed-
ometer/odometer calibration and
clearance between the body and
tires. It also may be dangerous
and lead to loss of vehicle con-
trol.
. You must install four winter tires
that are of the same size, circum-
ferences, construction, brand,
andloadrange.Mixingother
sizes, circumferences or con-
structions may result in severe
mechanical damage to the drive
train of your vehicle and may
affect ride, handling, braking and
speedometer/odometer calibra-
tion. It also may be dangerous
and lead to loss of vehicle con-
trol.
. Do not use a combination of
radial, belted bias or bias tires
since it may cause dangerous
handling characteristics and lead
to an accident.
Your vehicle is equipped with “all season
tires ”which are designed to provide an
