Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Driving tips
- Always apply the foot or parking brake when the vehicle is stopped in the "D" or "R" position.
- Make sure to apply the parking brake when parking your vehicle. Do not hold the vehicle with only the mechanical friction of the transmission.
- Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary position on an uphill grade by using the "D" position. Use the brake instead.
- The engine may, on rare occasions,
knock when the vehicle rapidly accelerates
or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.
This phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
