5-1. Before driving
Owners Manual_USA_A6717BE-A_en
■ When starting off on a uphill
The hill-start assist control will acti-
vate. (P.390)
■ Driving in the rain
● Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become fogged-
up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■ Restraining the EV system out-
put (Brake Override System)
● When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the EV system output may
be restrained.
● A warning message is displayed
on the multi-information display
while the system is operating.
■ Breaking in your new SUBARU
To extend the life of the vehicle,
observing the following precautions
is recommended:
● For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
● For the first 600 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high
speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive at a constant speed
for extended periods.
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■ When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with
the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
■ When driving the vehicle
● Do not drive if you are unfamil-
iar with the location of the brake
and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the
accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal will result in sudden
acceleration that may lead to an
accident.
• When backing up, you may twist
your body around, leading to dif-
ficulty in operating the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals
properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct
driving posture even when mov-
ing the vehicle only slightly. This
allows you to depress the brake
and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using
your right foot. Depressing the
brake pedal using your left foot
may delay response in an emer-
gency, resulting in an accident.
● The driver should pay extra
attention to pedestrians. As
there is no engine noise, the
pedestrians may misjudge the
vehicle’s movement. Even
though the vehicle is equipped
with the Acoustic Vehicle Alert-
ing System, drive with care as
pedestrians in the vicinity may
still not notice the vehicle if the
surrounding area is noisy.
