WARNING
Before opening the fuel filler cap,first touch the vehicle body or ametal portion of the fuel pump orsimilar object to discharge anystatic electricity that may be presenton your body. If your body is carry-ing an electrostatic charge, there isa possibility that an electric sparkcould ignite the fuel, which couldburn you. To avoid acquiring a newstatic electric charge, do not getback into the vehicle while refuelingis in progress.
1) Open2) Close
3. Remove the fuel filler cap by turning itslowly counterclockwise.
WARNING
.Gasoline vapor is highly flam-mable. Before refueling, alwaysfirst stop the engine and close allvehicle doors and windows.Make sure that there are nolighted cigarettes, open flamesor electrical sparks in the adja-cent area. Refueling must beperformed outside. Quickly wipeup any spilled fuel.
.When opening the cap, grasp itfirmly and turn it slowly to theleft. Do not remove the capquickly. Fuel may be under pres-sure and spray out of the fuelfiller neck, especially in hotweather. If you hear a hissingsound while you are removingthe cap, wait for the sound tostop and then slowly open thecapto prevent fuel from sprayingout and creating a fire hazard.
.When refueling, insert the fuelnozzle securely into the fuel fillerpipe. If the nozzle is lifted or notfullyinserted, its automatic stop-ping mechanism may not func-
tion, causing fuel to overflow thetank and creating a fire hazard.
.Stop refueling when the auto-matic stop mechanism on thefuel nozzle activates. If you con-tinue to add fuel, temperaturechanges or other conditionsmay cause fuel to overflow fromthe tank and create a fire hazard.
4. Stop filling the tank after the fuel fillerpump automatically turns off. Do not addany more fuel.
CAUTION
Make sure that the cap is tighteneduntil it clicks to prevent fuel spillagein the event of an accident.
5. Put the cap back on, turn it clockwiseuntil you hear a clicking noise. Be certainnot to catch the tether under the cap whiletightening.
6. Close the fuel filler lid completely.
If you spill any fuel on the painted surface,rinse it off immediately. Otherwise, thepainted surface could be damaged.

Starting the engine
CAUTION
.Do not operate the starter motorcontinuously for more than 10seconds. If the engine fails tostart after operating the starterfor 5 to 10 seconds, wait for 10seconds or more before tryingagain.
.If you restart the engine while thevehicle is moving, shift the selectlever into the“N”position. Donot attempt to place the selectlever of a moving vehicle into the“P”position.
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn off unnecessary lights and ac-cessories.
3. Shift the select lever to the“P”or“N”position (preferably“P”position). Thestarter will only operate when the selectlever is at the“P”or“N”position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the“ON”position and check the operation of thewarning and indicator lights. Refer to“Warning and indicator lights”F3-9.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the“START”positionwithoutdepressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediatelyafter the engine has started.
If the engine does not start, try thefollowing.(1) Turn the ignition switch to the“LOCK”position and wait for at least10 seconds. After checking that theparking brake is firmly set, turn theignition switch to the“START”positionwhile depressing the accelerator pedalslightly (approximately a quarter of thefull stroke).Release the acceleratorpedal as soon as the engine starts.(2) If this fails to start the engine, turnthe ignition switch back to the“LOCK”position and wait for at least 10seconds.Then fully depress the accel-erator pedal and turn the ignitionswitch to the“START”position. If theengine starts, quickly release theaccelerator pedal.(3) If this fails to start the engine, turnthe ignition switch again to the“LOCK”position.After waiting for 10 secondsor longer, turn the ignition switch to the“START”position without depressingthe accelerator pedal.(4) If the engine still refuses to start,contact your nearest SUBARU dealerfor assistance.

started. The fuel injection system auto-matically lowers the idle speed as theengine warms up.
While the engine is warming up, makesure that the select lever is at the“P”or“N”position and that the parking brake isapplied.
NOTE
.The engine may be difficult to startwhen the battery has been discon-nected and reconnected (for mainte-nance or other purposes). This diffi-culty is caused by the electronicallycontrolled throttle’sself-diagnosisfunction. To overcome it, keep theignition switch in the“ON”positionfor approximately 10 seconds beforestartingthe engine..To p r o t e c t t h e e n g i n e w h i l e t h eselect lever is in the“P”or“N”position, the engine is controlled sothat the engine speed may not becometoo high even if the accelerator pedal isdepressed hard.
Stopping the engine
WARNING
Do not stop the engine when thevehicle is moving. This will causeloss of power to the power steeringand the brakebooster, making steer-ing and braking more difficult. Itcould also result in accidental acti-vation of the“LOCK”position on theignition switch, causing the steeringwheel to lock.
The ignition switch should be turned offonly whenthe vehicle is stopped and theengine is idling.
Remote engine start system
(dealer option)
WARNING
.Do not start the engine using theremote start system in an en-closed environment (e.g. closedgarage). Prolonged operation ofa motor vehicle in an enclosedenvironment can cause a harmfulbuild-up of Carbon Monoxide.Carbon Monoxide is harmful toyour health. Exposure to highlevels of Carbon Monoxide cancause headaches, dizziness or inextreme cases unconsciousnessand/or death.
.Before performing any servicingof the vehicle, temporarily placethe remote engine start system inservice mode to prevent thesystem from unexpectedly start-ing the engine.
