3. While depressing the brake pedal,
insert the screwdriver into the hole, press
the shift lock release portion using the
screwdriver, and then move the select
lever.
If the select lever does not move after
performing the above procedure, the shift
lock system may be malfunctioning.
Contact a SUBARU dealer for an inspec-
tion as soon as possible.■ Selection of Manual Mode▼ Selecting gears in manual modeShift the select lever to the “M” position to
change to manual mode.
When the upshift/downshift indicators are
illuminated, the vehicle can be driven in a
selected gear by shifti ng the select lever toward “-” or “+” or operating the “-” or “+”
shift paddle.
1) Upshift indicator
2) Downshift indicator
3) Upshift
4) Downshift
The gear changes once each time the
select lever or a shift paddle is operated.
The selected gear, from “M1” to “M6”, will
be displayed on the combination meter.
When in manual mode, the gear will not
change unless the select lever or a shift
paddle is operated, except in the following
situations.
When the vehicle speed drops
(downshift only)
When the engine oil temperature is
high and the engine speed approaches
close to the red zone
If an upshift is atte mpted while the vehicle
speed is low, the gear will not be changed.NOTE If a downshift is attempted at a
vehicle speed where a downshift is not
possible (when the engine speed
would enter the red zone if a downshift
is performed), the downshift warning
buzzer will sound to inform the driver
that a downshift cannot be performed.
You can perform a skip-shift (for
example, from 4th to 2nd) by operating

240the shift paddle twice in rapid succes-
sion.
If the temperature of the transmis-
sion fluid becomes too high, the “AT
OIL TEMP” warning light will illumi-
nate. Immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place and let the engine idle until
the warning light turns off.▼ Temporary manual mode driving
While driving with the select lever in “D”, if
a shift paddle is operated, the gear can
temporarily be selected. In this case, “M”
and the selected gear number will be
displayed on the combination meter. (If
the engine speed approaches close to the
red zone, an upshift will automatically be
performed.)1) Upshift
2) Downshift
The selected gear, from “M1” to “M6”, will
be displayed on the combination meter.NOTE In the following situations, tempo-
rary manual mode will be cancelled. - When the vehicle speed is low
- When the accelerator pedal is
depressed continuously for a
certain amount of time or more
- When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily
- When the select lever is shifted
to a position other than “D”
- When the “+” shift paddle switch
is held down for a period of time
When a downshift is attempted at a
vehicle speed where a downshift is not
possible (when the engine speed
would enter the red zone if a downshift
is performed), the downshift warning
buzzer will sound to inform the driver
that a downshift cannot be performed.■ Driving TipsNOTEIf the accelerator and brake pedals are
depressed at the same time, driving
torque may be restrained. This is not a
malfunction.
On a road surface where there is a risk
of wheelspin (for example, a snow- or gravel covered road), you can start off
from a standstill safely and easily by first
selecting Snow mode.
Always apply the foot or parking brake
when the vehicle is stopped in the “D” or
“R” position.
Make sure to apply the parking brake
when parking your vehicle. Do not hold
the vehicle with only the transmission.
Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary
position on an uphill grade by using the
“D” position. Use the brake instead.
The engine may, on rare occasions,
knock when the vehicle rapidly acceler-
ates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.
This phenomenon does not indicate a
malfunction.

Parking Your Vehicle
256To 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 TipsWhen 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.
When parking on a hill, always turn the
steering wheel. When the vehicle is headed up the hill, the front wheels should
be turned away from the curb.
When facing downhill, the front wheels
should be turned into the curb.
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.
700897
CAUTION
If your vehicle has a front under-
spoiler and rear underspoiler (both
optional), pay attention to blocks
and other obstructions on the
ground when parking. The under-
spoilers could be damaged by con-
tact with them.

Engine Oil
34611-6. Engine Oil■Engine Oil ConsumptionSome engine oil will be consumed while
driving. The rate of consumption can be
affected by such factors as transmission
type, driving style, terrain and tempera-
ture. Under the followi ng conditions, oil
consumption can be increased and thus
require refilling between maintenance
intervals:
When the engine is new and within the
break-in period
When the engine oil is of lower quality
When the incorrect oil viscosity is used
When engine braking is employed
(repeatedly)
When the engine is operated at high
engine speeds (for extended periods of
time)
When the engine is operated under
heavy loads (for extended periods of time)
When the engine idles for extended
periods of time
When the vehicle is operated in stop
and go and/or heavy traffic situations
When the vehicle is used under severe
thermal conditions
When the vehicle accelerates and
decelerates frequently
Under these or similar conditions, you
should check your oil at least every 2nd
fuel fill-up and change your engine oil
more frequently. Different drivers in the
same car may experience different
results. If your oil consumption rate is
greater than expected, contact your
authorized SUBARU retailer who may
perform a test under controlled conditions.
■ Checking the Oil Level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
stop the engine. If you check the oil level
just after stopping the engine, wait for at least 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into
the oil pan before checking the level.
1) Oil level gauge
2) Oil filler cap
3) Oil filter2. Pull out the level gauge, wipe it clean,
and insert it again.
3. Be sure the level gauge is correctly
inserted until it stops.
CAUTION
If the level gauge is not pulled out
easily, twist the level gauge right
and left, then pull it out. Other-
wise, you may be injured acciden-
tally straining yourself. Use only engine oil with the
recommended grade and
viscosity. Be careful not to spill engine oil
when adding it. If oil touches the
exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If
engine oil gets on the exhaust
pipe, be sure to wipe it off.
CAUTION
If the level gauge cannot be pulled
out easily, twist the level gauge
right and left, then gently pull it out.
Otherwise, you may be injured acci-
dentally straining yourself.

Maintenance and Service11
– CONTINUED –
11-12. Differential Gear OilIt is not necessary to check the gear oil
level. Check that there are no cracks,
damage or leakage. However, the oil
inspection should be performed according
to the maintenance schedule in the
“Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
Consult your SUBARU dealer for details.■ Recommended Grade and
ViscosityEach oil manufacturer has its own base
oils and additives. Never use different
brands together. For details, refer to
"Manual Transmission and Differential
Gear Oil" P383.
11-13. Manual Transmission OilIt is not necessary to check the transmis-
sion oil level. Check that there are no
cracks, damage or leakage. However,
have the oil inspected by your SUBARU
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule in the “Warranty and Mainte-
nance Booklet”. Consult your SUBARU
dealer for details.■ Recommended Grade and
ViscosityEach oil manufacturer has its own base
oils and additives. Never use different
brands together. For details, refer to
"Manual Transmission and Differential
Gear Oil" P383.
11-14. Brake Fluid■ Checking the Fluid Level
CAUTION
Using a differential gear oil other
than the specified oil may cause a
decline in vehicle performance.
WARNING
Never let brake fluid contact your
eyes because brake fluid can be
harmful to your eyes. If brake
fluid gets in your eyes, immedi-
ately flush them thoroughly with
clean water. Fo r safety, when
performing this work, wearing
eye protection is advisable. Brake fluid absorbs moisture
from the air. Any absorbed mois-
ture can cause a dangerous loss
of braking performance. If the vehicle requires frequent
refilling, there may be a leak. If
you suspect a problem, have the
vehicle checked at your SUBARU
dealer.
CAUTION
When adding brake fluid, be
careful not to allow any dirt into
the reservoir. Never splash the brake fluid over
painted surfaces or rubber parts.
Alcohol contained in the brake
fluid may damage them.
