Starting and Stopping Engine
230On rare occasions, it may be difficult
to start the engine depending on the
fuel and the usage condition (repeated
driving of a distance in which the
engine has not warmed up suffi-
ciently). In such a case, it is recom-
mended that you change to a different
brand of fuel.
 On rare occasions, transient
knocking may be heard from the
engine when the accelerator is oper-
ated rapidly such as a rapid start-up
and a rapid acceleration. This is not a
malfunction.
 The engine starts more easily when
the headlights, air conditioner and rear
window defogger are turned off.■ Starting Engine
NOTEWhen pressing the push-button
ignition switch while depressing the
clutch pedal (MT models) or the brake
pedal (AT models): - The engine starter operates for a
maximum of 10 seconds and after
starting the engine, the starter stops
automatically.
- The engine can be started
regardless of the power status.
 If the engine does not start, check
the security indicator light. Then press
the push-button ignition switch
without depressing the clutch pedal
(MT models) or the brake pedal (AT
models) to switch the power to “OFF”. - If the light had illuminated, try to
start the engine again.
- If the light had been off, press the
push-button ignition switch while
depressing the clutch pedal (MT
models) or the brake pedal (AT
models) more forcefully.
 The engine start procedures may
not function depending on the radio
wave conditions around the vehicle. In
such a case, refer to "Starting Engine"
 P326.
 If the vehicle battery is discharged,
the steering cannot be unlocked.
Charge the battery.
WARNING
 There are some general precau-
tions when starting the engine.
Carefully read the precautions
described in "General Precau-
tions When Starting Engine"
 P229. If the steering lock cannot be
released after the engine has
started, never drive the vehicle.
The steering is still locked, and it
may result in an accident.
CAUTION
 If a system malfunction warning
message is displayed on the
combination meter, there may be
a malfunction with the vehicle.
Contact a SUBARU dealer imme-
diately. If a steering lock warning
message is displayed on the
combination me ter after the
engine has started, it means that
the steering is still locked. While
moving the steering wheel right
and left, depress the brake pedal,
and press the push-button igni-
tion switch. Do not continue pressing the
push-button ignition switch for
more than 10 seconds. Doing so
could cause a malfunction. If the
engine does not start, stop
pressing the push -button ignition
switch. Instead, press the push-
button ignition switch without
depressing the clutch pedal (MT
models) or the brake pedal (AT
models) to switch the power
status to “OFF”. Wait 10 seconds,
and then press the push-button
ignition switch to start the
engine.

BSD/RCTA (If Equipped)
271
Starting and Operating7
– CONTINUED –
- When the temperature around
the radar sensors becomes
extremely low
- When the vehicle battery voltage
lowers
- When the vehicle voltage
exceeds the battery voltage rating
The BSD/RCTA will resume operation
once these conditions are corrected,
and the BSD/RCTA OFF indicator will
disappear. However, if the BSD/RCTA
OFF indicator appears for a prolonged
period of time, have the system
inspected at a SUBARU dealer as soon
as possible.
 The detectability of the radar
sensors is restricted. The BSD/RCTA
detection may be impaired and the
system may not operate properly
under the following conditions. - When the rear bumper around
the radar sensors is distorted
- When ice, snow or mud adheres
to the rear bumper surface around
the radar sensors
- When stickers, etc. are affixed on
the areas of the radar sensors on the
rear bumper
- During adverse weather condi-
tions such as rain, snow or fog
- When driving on wet roads such
as snow-covered roads and through
puddles 
The radar sensors may not detect or
may have difficulty detecting the
following vehicles and objects. - Small motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, stationary objects on
the road or road side, etc.
- Vehicles with body shapes that
the radar may not reflect (vehicles
with lower body height such as a
trailer with no cargo and sports
cars)
- Vehicles that are not
approaching your vehicle even
though they are in the detection area
(either on a neighboring lane to the
rear or beside your vehicle when
reversing) (The system determines
the presence of approaching vehi-
cles based on data detected by the
radar sensors.)
- Vehicles traveling at signifi-
cantly different speeds
- Vehicles driving in parallel at
almost the same speed as your
vehicle for a prolonged time
- Oncoming vehicles
- Vehicles in a lane beyond the
neighboring lane
- Vehicles travelling at a signifi-
cantly lower speed that you are
trying to overtake
 On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect vehicles driving in a lane next to the neigh-
boring lane.
■
BSD/RCTA Approach Indi -
cator Light/Warning BuzzerWhile the BSD/RCTA is active, the
following item(s) will operate to alert the
driver:
 The BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light (when there are v ehicles in the neigh-
boring lanes).
 The BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light and warning buzzer (when a vehicle
is approaching from the left or right side

Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) System (If Equipped)
280
- The rear bumper is exposed to
strong impact, or the rear bumper is
deformed.
 On a steep hill, the system’s auto-
matic braking ability will be reduced.
 The system is designed to avoid
collisions by automatic hard braking
when the vehicle’s reversing speed is
less than approximately 3 mph (5 km/
h). However, the system does not guar-
antee that the vehicle will be able to
avoid collisions in any situation.
 If the vehicle is reversed at an
extremely slow speed, the driver’s
operation may be prioritized. In this
case, automatic braking will not
operate.
 The system may not be able to
detect and apply the brake with the
following objects. - Sharp or thin objects such as
poles, fences and ropes which may
not reflect the s ound wave emitted
from the sonar sensor.
- Objects that are too close to the
rear bumper when the select lever is
set to the “R” position.
- Objects with a surface which
may not reflect the sound wave
emitted from the sonar sensor such
as a chain link fence.
 Objects the system is not designed
to detect and apply brake. -Pedestrians.
- Moving objects including

moving vehicles.
- Objects which absorbs sound
waves such as cloth or snow.
- Objects whose surface has a
diagonal angle.
- Objects that are low to the
ground such as parking blocks.
- Objects that are high above the
ground such as objects hanging
from above.
- Objects that are out of range of
the center of the vehicle in the hori-
zontal direction.
- Objects that are not perpendic-
ular to the ground.
- The surface of the object is
uneven or wavy.
 When reversing the vehicle, the
functions may not be able to work
properly or may cause a system
malfunction if the following conditions
exist.
High frequency sound from other
sources are nearby:
- Horn sound from another
vehicle.
- Engine sound from other vehi-
cles.
- Sound of an air brake.
- Vehicle detection equipment or a
sonar from another vehicle. - A sound wave with a frequency

similar to the vehicle’s system is
transmitted near by.
- A vehicle equipped with the
same system is reversing toward
your reversing direction.
Weather conditions:
- Extremely high or extremely low
temperatures in which the area near
the sonar sensor becomes too hot
or too cold to operate.
- The sonar sensors or the rear
bumper near the sonar sensors are
exposed to heavy rain or a signifi-
cant amount of water.
- Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
- Air is moving rapidly such as
when a strong wind is blowing.
Parts attached to the rear bumper
near the sonar sensor:
- Commercial electr onic parts (fog
light, fender pole, radio antenna) or
commercial attachment parts (trailer
hitch, bicycle carrier, bumper guard)
are attached.
- Parts that emit high frequency
sound, such as a horn or speaker,
are attached.
Vehicle conditions:
- Ice, snow or mud is adhered to
the sonar sensors or the rear
bumper near the sonar sensor.
