Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Parking tips
When parking your vehicle, always perform
the following items.
- Apply the parking brake firmly
- For MT models, put the shift lever in the
"1" (1st) for upgrade or "R" (Reverse) for a
downgrade.
- For CVT models, put the select lever in
the "P" (Park) position.
Never rely on the mechanical friction of
the transmission alone to hold the vehicle.

When parking on a hill, always turn the
steering wheel. When the vehicle is
headed up the hill, the front wheels should
be turned away from the curb.

When facing downhill, the front wheels
should be turned into the curb.
WARNING
- Never leave unattended children
or pets in the vehicle. They could
accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, on
hot or sunny days, the temperature
in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal
injuries to people.
- Do not park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as
they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust system
parts.
- Be sure to stop the engine if you
take a nap in the vehicle. If
engine exhaust gas enters the
passenger compartment, occupants
in the vehicle could die
from carbon monoxide (CO) contained
in the exhaust gas.
CAUTION
- If your vehicle has a front underspoiler
and rear underspoiler
(both optional), pay attention to
blocks and other obstructions on
the ground when parking. The
underspoilers could be damaged
by contact with them.
- The braking power of the parking
brake may not be sufficient when
stronger braking power is
needed (e.g., when parking on a
steep slope while towing a trailer).
To set the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal firmly and hold it down until
the parking brake lever is fully pulled up.
To release the parking brake, pull the lever
up slightly, press the ...
