Ensure that the Hill start assist system operates properly under the following circumstances:
1. Stop the vehicle on an uphill grade by depressing the brake pedal and clutch pedal, with the engine running.

2. Make sure that the vehicle does not move backward even after the brake pedal is released.

If the Hill start assist system does not operate as described above, contact with your SUBARU dealer.
