Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Continuously variable transmission
WARNING
Do not shift from the "P" or "N" position into the "D" or "R" position while depressing the accelerator pedal. This may cause the vehicle to jump forward or backward.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to observe these precautions could cause damage to the transmission.
- Shift into the "P" or "R" position only after the vehicle has completely stopped.
- Do not shift from the "D" position into the "R" position or vice versa until the vehicle has completely stopped.
Do not race the engine for more than 5 seconds in any position except the "N" or "P" position when the brake is applied or when chocks are used in the wheels. This may cause the transmission fluid to overheat.
Never move the vehicle rearward by inertia with the select lever set in a forward driving position or move the vehicle forward by inertia with the select lever set in the "R" position. Doing so may result in an unexpected accident or malfunction.
When parking the vehicle, first securely apply the parking brake and then place the select lever in the "P" position. Do not park for a long time with the select lever in any other position as doing so could result in a dead battery.
