System Operation
So that it can be used safely and comfortably, in addition to driver operations, the Auto
Start-Stop system is designed to constantly monitor the vehicle conditions as well as the
environment inside and outside the vehicle, in order to control stopping and restarting of
the engine.
After the vehicle has been completely stopped by depressing the brake pedal with the select
lever in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically stopped. When you release the brake
pedal with the select lever kept in the “D” position, the engine will be automatically restarted.
If the engine is temporarily stopped by the system, the Auto Start-Stop
indicator light on the combination meter will illuminate in green. This indicator
light will turn off when the system restarts the engine.
Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) also integrates seamlessly with Auto Start-Stop
functions. With AVH, the parking brake automatically applies, so you can sit without your foot
on the brake pedal. To restart the engine, just gently press down on the accelerator pedal.
There are several operating conditions for this system to operate as intended. Please refer
to “Starting and Operating” in your Owner’s Manual for further information.
Auto Start-Stop Screen
Approximate indications of the time that the
engine has been stopped by the Auto
Start-Stop System and the amount of fuel
saved can be displayed on the Combination
Meter Display using the arrow switches. The
values are calculated from the most recent
reset of the currently displayed trip meter.
No Activity Detected Indicator Light
If the operational conditions are not met when the vehicle is stopped, the
engine will not stop and the Auto Start-Stop No Activity Detected indicator
light will illuminate. This indicator is solid white when illuminated. It will turn off
when the vehicle begins to drive.
Auto Start-Stop Warning Light
The Auto Start-Stop warning light will illuminate in yellow when initially turning
the ignition switch to the “ON” position. The light will turn off after the engine
has started.
NOTE: If the Auto Start-Stop warning light does not turn off or is flashing
yellow after the engine has started, the Auto Start-Stop system may be malfunctioning.
We recommend that you contact your authorized SUBARU Retailer for an inspection.

FUEL FILLER LID
The fuel filler lid is located toward the rear of the
passenger side. To open the lid:
1. Make sure your Subaru is stopped and the select
lever is placed in PARK. Then turn the ignition to
the "LOCK"/ "OFF" position.
2. The fuel filler lid is automatically unlocked when the
ignition is moved to the ”LOCK”/OFF” position, or
by unlocking using the access key fob/transmitter
or door handles.
3. Push the rear side of the lid.
4. When the lid opens slightly, open it further by hand.
While refueling, place the fuel filler cap on the cap
holder inside the lid.
After refueling, put the cap back on and turn it
clockwise until you hear a clicking noise. Be certain
not to catch the tether under the cap while tightening.
To close the lid, press it until you hear it latch.
