consciousness and/or death.
. Do not start the hybrid system
near dry foliage, paper, or other
flammable substances. When the
engine is running, the exhaust
pipe and exhaust emissions can
create a fire hazard at high
temperatures.
CAUTION
. If the hybrid system is stopped
during driving, the catalyst may
overheat and burn.
. When starting the hybrid system,
be sure to sit in the drivers seat
(except when using the remote
engine start system).
. If the hybrid READY indicator
light does not illuminate even
after the engine has started, have
the vehicle inspected by a
SUBARU dealer.
NOTE
. Avoid rapid racing and rapid accel-
eration im mediately after the hybrid
system has started.
. For a short time after the hybrid
system has started, the engine speed is
kept high. When the warm-up is com-
pleted, the engine speed lowers auto-
matically.
. On rare occasions, it may be difficult
to start the hybrid system 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 knock-
ing may be heard from the engine when
the accelerator is operated rapidly
such as a rapid start-up and a rapid
acceleration. This is not a malfunction.
. The hybrid system may not start
immediately after the terminal of the 12
V auxiliary battery has bee n recon-
nected when replacing the 12 V aux-
iliary battery, etc. In this case, set the
ignition switch to the ON position
and start the hybrid system after over
10 seconds have passed. Idling may be
unstable immediately after the hybrid
system has started but this is not a
malfunction.
. The remaining power of the high
voltage battery may decrease when the
hybrid system has been stopped over-
night in a state where it is sufficiently
charged. However, this is a result of the
high voltage battery self-discharge and
is not a malfunction.
. If the accelerator pedal is depressed
while the vehicle is stopped, the engine
speed will not increase to a high rate of
revolution.
. You may not restart t he hybrid
system immediately after turning the
ignition switch to the LOCK (off)
position while the engine has been
automatically stopped. In such a case,
wait a few seconds and then perform
the starting procedure.
