S tarting and operatin g 7-5 – CONTINUED – State emission testing (U.S. only) At state inspection time, remember to tell your i nspectio n or servic e station in advance not to place your SUBARU AWD vehicle on a two-wheel dyna- mometer. Otherwise, serious tra nsmis- sion damage wil l result.
7-6 St arting and operatin g Under no circumstances should th e rear wheels be jacked off the ground, nor should the driveshaft be disconnected for state emissi on testing. The EPA has issued regulations for in- specting the On-Board Di agnostic (OBD) system as part of the state emissions in- spection.
S tarting and operatin g 7-7 Starting the engine 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Turn off unnecessary li ghts and acces- sories. 3. Shift the selector lever to the “P” or “N” position (prefera bly “P” position). The starter will only operate wh en the select lever is at the “P” or “N” position.
7-8 St arting and operatin g Stopping the engine The ignition switch should be turned o ff only when the vehi cle is stopped an d the engine is id ling. Automatic transmission The automatic transmission is electron i- cally controlled an d provides 5 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed.
