Handling an AT Vehicle

1. The engine cannot be started by pushing the vehicle, and also the vehicle cannot be moved by operating the starter motor.
2. Be sure to release the accelerator pedal before shifting from the "R" to the "N" range and from the "N" to the "D" range, or vise versa even when the vehicle is stopped.
3. Do not maintain the vehicle in a stall operation for more than five seconds as this may overheat the clutch excessively.
4. When the speedometer malfunctions, a vehicle-speed signal will no longer be emitted. Immediately have it repaired.
5. Use only genuine SUBARU AT fluid in the transmission.
