case, depress the brake pedal more
forcefully than usual. Check that the
operation indicator on the push-button

 Stopping engine
1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2. Move the select lever to the “P” posi-
tion.
3. Press the push-button ignition switch.
The engine will stop, and the power will be
switched to “OFF”.
NOTE
Although you can stop the engine by
operating the push-button ignition
switch, do not stop the engine during
driving except in an emergency.
y Do not touch the push-button ig-
nition switch during driving.
When the push-button ignition
switch is operated as follows, the
engine will stop.
– The switch is pressed and held
for 3 seconds or longer.
– The switch is pressed briefly 3
times or more in succession.
When the engine stops, the brake
booster will not function. A great-
er foot pressure will be required
on the brake pedal.
The power steering system will
not operate either. A greater force
will be required to steer, and it
may result in an accident.
y If the engine stops during driving,
do not operate the push-button ig-
nition switch or open any of the
doors until the vehicle is stopped
in a safe location. It is dangerous
because the steering lock may be
activated. Stop the vehicle in a
safe location, and contact a
SUBARU dealer immediately.

y If the engine is stopped while the
