Starting the engine
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter motor
continuously for more than 10 sec-
onds. If the engine fails to start after
operating the starter for 5 to 10
seconds, wait for 10 seconds or
more before trying again.
NOTE
. It may be difficult to start the engine
when the battery has been discon-
nected and reconnected (for mainte-
nance or other purposes). This diffi-
culty is caused by the electronically
controlled throttles self-diagnosis
function. To overcome it, keep the
ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 10 seconds before
starting the engine.
. For non-turbo models, to protect the
engine while the shift lever is in the
neutral position (MT models)/select
lever is in the P or N position (AT
models), the engine is controlled so
that the engine speed may not become
too high even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed hard.
& MT models
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn off unnecessary lights and ac-
cessories.
3. Depress the clutch pedal to the floor
and shift the shift lever into neutral. Hold
the clutch pedal to the floor while starting
the engine.
The starter motor will only operate when
the clutch pedal is depressed fully to the
floor.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position and check the operation of the
warning and indicator lights. Refer to
Warning and indicator lights F3-13.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the START
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediately
after the engine has started.
If the engine does n ot start, try the
following.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position and wait for at least
10 seconds. After checking that the
parking brake is firmly set, turn the
ignition switch to the START position
while depressing the accelerator pedal
slightly (approximately a quarter of the
full stroke). Release the accelerator
pedal as soon as the engine starts.
(2) If this fails to start the engine, turn
the ignition switch back to the OFF
position and wait for at least 10
seconds. Then fully depress the accel-
erator pe dal and turn the ignitio n
switch to the START position. If the
engine starts, quickly release the
accelerator pedal.
(3) If this fails to start the engine, turn
the ignition switch again to the OFF
position. After waiting for 10 seconds
or longer, turn the ignition switch to the
START position without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
(4) If the engine still refuses to start,
contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
for assistance.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have turned off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the
engine warms up.

cessories.
3. Shift the select lever to the P or N
