Parking Your Vehicle
2567-16. Parking Your Vehicle■
Parking Brake
To set the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal firmly and hold it down until
the parking brake lever is fully pulled up.To release the parking brake, pull the
lever up slightly, press the release button,
then lower the lever while keeping the
button pressed.
When the parking brake is set while the
engine is running, the parking brake
warning light illuminates. After starting the
vehicle, be sure that the warning light has
turned off before the vehicle is driven.
Refer to "Brake System Warning Light"

P140.
■
Parking Tips
When parking your vehicle, always
perform the following items.
 Apply the parking brake firmly.
 For MT models, put the shift lever in the
“1” (1st) for upgrade or “R” (Reverse) for a
downgrade.
 For AT models, put the select lever in
the “P” (Park) position.
Never rely on the mechanical friction of
the transmission alone to hold the vehicle.
WARNING
 Never leave unattended children
or pets in the vehicle. They could
accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent oper-
ation of the vehicle. Also, on hot
or sunny days, the temperature in
a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people.Do not park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as
they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust
system parts.Be sure to stop the engine if you
take a nap in the vehicle. If engine
exhaust gas enters the passenger
compartment, occupants in the
vehicle could die from carbon
monoxide (CO) contained in the
exhaust gas.
CAUTION
Never drive while the parking
brake is set because this will
cause unnecessary wear on the
brake linings. Before starting to
drive, always make sure that the
parking brake has been fully
released.
702782
The braking power of the parking
brake may not be sufficient when
stronger braking power is needed
(e.g., when parking on a steep
slope while towing a trailer).

Hill Start Assist System
258In both these cases, the Hill start assist
system operates under the following
conditions.
 The clutch pedal is depressed while the
brake pedal is also depressed (MT
models).
 The vehicle has stopped with the brake
pedal depressed (AT models).
Braking power is maintained temporarily
(for approximately 2 seconds) by the Hill
start assist system after the brake pedal is
released. The driver is therefore able to
start the vehicle in the same way as on a
level grade, just using the clutch pedal
(MT models only) and accelerator pedal
(all models).
If the braking power of the Hill start assist
system is insufficient after the brake pedal
is released, apply more braking power by
depressing the brake pedal again.
The Hill start assist system may not
operate on slight grades. Also, the Hill
start assist system does not operate in the
following cases.
When starting backward facing uphill
 When starting forward facing downhill
 While the parking brake is applied
 While the ignition switch is in the “ACC”
or “OFF” position 
While the Hill start assist indicator light
is illuminated. Refer to "Hill Start Assist
Indicator Light" P150.
When using the Hill start assist system, a
braking effect may be felt even after the
brake pedal has been released. However,
for MT models, this braking effect should
disappear once the clutch pedal is
released.
NOTEA slight jolt may be felt when the vehi-
cle begins to move forward after being
reversed.
701109
CAUTION
The braking power of the Hill start
assist system may not be sufficient
when strong braking power is
needed (e.g., when towing a trailer).

1. Set the ignition switch to “ON”.
2. Set the shift lever/ select lever to “R”.NOTEThe image of the rear view camera is
horizontally reversed as is the case
with the vehicle inside mirror or the
outside mirror.
 When “Rear Camera Delay Control”
is on, the rear view image from the rear
view camera will be displayed on the
center information display for a certain
amount of time after the shift lever (MT
models) or select lever (AT models) is
shifted from “R” to another position.
When any of the following conditions
are met, the rear view image will be
canceled: - The select lever is shifted to “P”
(AT models)
- The vehicle speed becomes
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more
- The parking brake is engaged
- 9 seconds have elapsed since
the shift lever (MT models) or select
lever (AT models) was shifted from
“R” to another position To turn the function
on and off, refer to
"General settings" 
P161.
 It may be difficult to see the image of
the rear view camera in the following
cases. This is not a malfunction of the
camera. - The vehicle is in a dark place (at
night, in a tunnel, etc.).
- The vehicle is in an extremely hot
or cold place.
- An object (such as raindrops,
snow, dirt, etc.) that disturbs the
view of the rear view camera sticks
to the lens of the camera.
- Strong light is shining directly on
the camera lens (occasionally, there
are vertical lines on the screen).

Driving Tips8
– CONTINUED –
When parking for long periods in cold
weather, you should observe the following
tips.
1. For MT models, place the shift lever in
the “1” or “R” position. For AT models,
place the select lever in the “P” position.
2. Use tire stops under the tires to
prevent the vehicle from moving.
▼
Refueling in cold weather
To help prevent moisture from forming in
the fuel system and t he risk of its freezing,
use of an antifreeze additive in the fuel
tank is recommended during cold
weather.
Use only additives that are specifically
designed for this purpose. When an anti-
freeze additive is used, its effect lasts
longer if the tank is refilled whenever the
fuel level reaches half empty.
If your SUBARU is not going to be used for
an extended period, it is best to have the
fuel tank filled to capacity.
■
Driving on Snowy and Icy
Roads
To prevent skidding and slipping, avoid
sudden braking, abrupt acceleration, high-
speed driving, and sharp turning when
driving on snowy or icy roads.
Always maintain ample distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you
to avoid the need for sudden braking.
To supplement the foot brake, use the
engine brake effectively to control the
vehicle speed. (Shift into a lower gear
when necessary.) Avoid shifting down abruptly. Such
behavior can cause the wheels to lock,
possibly leading to loss of vehicle control.
An anti-lock brake system (ABS)
enhances your vehicle’s braking perfor-
mance on snowy and icy roads. For infor-
mation about braking on slippery
surfaces, refer to "ABS (Anti-Lock Brake
System)"
P245 and "Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC)/TRAC System" P247.
For AT models, use the Snow mode when
driving on snowy or icy roads. For details
about how to use the mode, refer to
"Driving Mode Select Switch (If
Equipped)"  P241.
▼
Wiper operation when snowing
Before driving in cold weather, make sure
the wiper blade rubbers are not frozen to
the windshield.
If the wiper blade rubbers are frozen to the
windshield, use the defroster with the
airflow selection in “ ” and the tempera-
ture set for maximum warmth until the
wiper blade rubbers are completely
thawed. Refer to "Cli mate Control Panel"
 P198.
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
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads such as snowy or icy
roads. This may cause loss of vehi-
cle control.
CAUTION
Avoid prolonged continuous driving
in snowstorms. Snow will enter the
engine’s intake system and may
hinder the airflow, which could
result in engine shutdown or even
breakdown.

Remember to drive with care at all times
regardless of the type of tires on your
vehicle.■
Tire Chains
NOTE
When tire chains cannot be used, use
of another type of traction device
(such as spring chains) may be
acceptable if use on your vehicle is
recommended by the device manufac-
turer, taking into account tire size and
road conditions. Follow the device
manufacturer’s instructions, espe-
cially regarding maximum vehicle
speed.
To help avoid damage to your vehicle,
drive slowly, readjust or remove the
device if it is contacting your vehicle,
and do not spin your wheels. Damage
caused to your vehicle by use of a
traction device is not covered under
warranty.
Make certain that any traction device
you use is an SAE class S device, and use it on the rear wheels only. Always
use the utmost care when driving with
a traction device. Overconfidence
because you are using a traction
device could easily lead to a serious
accident.
■
Rocking the Vehicle
If you must rock the v
ehicle to free it from
snow, sand, or mud, depress the acceler-
ator pedal slightly and move the shift
lever/select lever back and forth between
“1” (MT model)/“D” (AT model) and “R”
repeatedly. Do not race the engine. For
the best possible traction, avoid spinning
the wheels when trying to free the vehicle.
When the road surface is extremely slip-
pery, you can obtain better traction by
starting the vehicle with the transmission
in 2nd than in 1st (MT models).
If your vehicle is a AT model, Snow mode
can be used. For details about how to use
the mode, refer to "Driving Mode Select
Switch (If Equipped)" P241.
8-9. Loading Your Vehicle
CAUTION
Tire chains cannot be used on your
vehicle because of the lack of clear-
ance between the tires and vehicle
body.
WARNING
Never allow passengers to ride on a
folded rear seatback or in the trunk.
Doing so may result in serious
injury.
WARNING
 Never stack luggage or other
cargo higher than the top of the
seatback because it could tumble
forward and injure passengers in
the event of a sudden stop or
accident. Keep luggage or cargo
low, as close to the floor as
possible.
