Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: General precautions when starting/stopping engine
WARNING
- Never start the engine from outside
the vehicle (except when
using the remote engine start
system). It may result in an
accident.
- Do not leave the engine running
in locations with poor ventilation,
such as a garage and indoors.
The exhaust gas may enter the
vehicle or indoors, and it may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Do not start the engine near dry
foliage, paper, or other flammable
substances. The exhaust
pipe and exhaust emissions can
create a fire hazard at high
temperatures.
CAUTION
- If the engine is stopped during
driving, the catalyst may overheat
and burn.
- When starting the engine, be sure
to sit in the driver's seat (except
when using the remote engine
start system).
NOTE
- Avoid rapid racing and rapid acceleration
immediately after the engine
has started
- For a short time after the engine has
started, the engine speed is kept high.
When the warm-up is completed, the
engine speed lowers automatically.
- On rare occasions, it may be difficult
to start the engine depending on the
fuel and the usage condition (repeated
driving of a distance in which the
engine has not warmed up sufficiently).
In such a case, it is recommended that
you change to a different brand of fuel.
- On rare occasions, transient knocking
may be heard from the engine when
the accelerator is operated rapidly
such as a rapid start-up and a rapid
acceleration. This is not a malfunction.
- The engine starts more easily when
the headlights, air conditioner and rear
window defogger are turned off.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter motor
continuously for more than 10 seconds.
If the engine fails to start after
operating the starter for 5 to 10
seconds, wait for 10 seconds or
more before ...
