If the engine will not start
If the engine will not start even though correct starting procedures
are being followed ( →P. 172, 182), consider each of the following
points.
■ The engine will not start even when the starter motor oper-
ates normally.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem.
●There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle.
● The engine may be flooded.
Try to restart the engine once more following correct starting
procedures. ( →P. 172, 182)
● There may be a malfunction in the engine immobilizer system.
(→ P. 82)
■ The starter motor turns over slowly, the interior lights and
headlights are dim, or the horn does not sound or sounds at
a low volume.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem.
●The battery may be discharged. ( →P. 476)
● The battery terminal connections may be loose or corroded.
■ The starter motor does not turn over. (vehicles with a key-
less access with push button start system)
The engine starting system may be malfunctioning due to an
electrical problem such as an open circuit or a blown fuse. How-
ever, an interim measure is available to start the engine.

Emergency start function (vehicles with a keyless access with
push button start system)When the engine does not start, the following steps can be used as
an interim measure to start the engine if the push-button ignition
switch is functioning normally:
Vehicles with an automatic transmission Set the parking brake.
Put the select lever in P.
Set the push-button ignition switch to “ACC” mode.
Press and hold the push-button ignition switch about 15 sec-
onds while depressing the brake pedal firmly.
Even if the engine can be started using the above steps, the system
may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle checked by your SUBARU
dealer.
■ The starter motor does not turn over, the interior lights and
headlights do not turn on, or the horn does not sound.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem.
● One or both of the battery terminals may be disconnected.
● The battery may be discharged. ( →P. 476)
● There may be a malfunction in the steering lock system. (vehi-
cles with a keyless access with push button start system)

■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ Avoiding a discharged battery
●Turn off the headlights and the air conditioning system while the engine is
off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
■ Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
■ Precautions when the battery is discharged (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system)
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the key-
less access with push button start system when the battery is dis-
charged. Use the remote keyless entry system or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
● The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a
malfunction.
● The push-button ignition switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When
the battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in
before the battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn
the push-button ignition switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the push-button ignition switch was in
before the battery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting
the battery.
