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

tions when starting the engine.

may result in an accident.
CAUTION

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

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,
