5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■Avoiding a discharged battery
●Turn off the headlights and the air conditioning system while the engine is
off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run- ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer- tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.)
■Precautions when the battery is discharged (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system) ●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the key- less access with push button start system when the battery is dis- charged. Use the remote keyless entry system or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The push-button ignition switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the push-button ignition switch off. If you are unsure what mode the push-button ignition switch was in before the battery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.

How to read oil container labels: Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use.

6-1. Specifications Fuel information
The engine is designed to operate at maximum performance using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 AKI (98 RON) or higher. If 93 AKI (98 RON) fuel is not readily available in your area, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON) may be used with no detriment to engine durability or driveability. However, you may notice a slight decrease in maximum engine performance and you may hear some knocking (pinking) of an engine while using 91 AKI (95 RON) fuel. Use of 91 AKI (95 RON) fuel will not affect your warranty coverage.
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your SUBARU has a fuel tank opening that only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
■If your engine knocks
●Consult your SUBARU dealer. ●You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-
ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
■Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gas- oline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your SUBARU dealer.
■Fuel octane rating
This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane and Motor Octane numbers and is commonly referred to as the Anti Knock Index (AKI). Using a gasoline with a lower octane rating can cause persistent and heavy knocking, which can damage the engine. Do not be concerned if your vehi- cle sometimes knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or when you acceler- ate. Contact your SUBARU dealer if you use a fuel with the specified octane rating and your vehicle knocks heavily or persistently.

■Gasoline for California-certified LEV
If your vehicle was certified to California’s low emission vehicle (LEV) stan- dards as indicated on the underhood tune-up label, it is designed to optimize engine and emission performance with gasoline that meets the clean burn- ing low-sulfur California gasoline specifications. If you live in any other state than California, your vehicle will operate on gasoline meeting Federal speci- fications. Gasoline sold outside California is permitted to have higher sulfur levels, which may affect the performance of your vehicle’s catalytic converter and may produce a sulfur exhaust odor or smell. SUBARU recommends that you try a different brand of unleaded gasoline having lower sulfur to deter- mine if the problem is fuel related before returning your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for service.
■SUBARU recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent addi-
tives ●SUBARU recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent addi-
tives to avoid build-up of engine deposits.
●All gasoline sold in the US contains detergent additives to clean and/or
keep clean intake systems.
■SUBARU recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline
Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxy- genates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available in many areas. SUBARU recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropri- ately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excel- lent vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
