IMPREZA U.S.A. (E)
7-16
Stopping the engine
WARNING
Do not stop the engine when the vehicle is moving. This will
cause loss of power to the power steering and the brake booster,
making steering and braking more difficult. It could also result in
accidental activation of the “LOCK” position on the ignition
switch, causing the steering wheel to lock.
The ignition switch should be turned off only when the engine is idling.
Manual transmission
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the clutch disengaged (i.e., when the
clutch pedal is depressed) or with the shift lever in the neutral
position. Engine braking has no effect in either of these condi-
tions and the risk of an accident is consequently increased.
CAUTION
Shift into reverse ONLY when the vehicle has completely
stopped. It may cause damage to the transmission to try shifting
into reverse when the vehicle is moving.
The manual transmission is a fully synchromeshed 5-forward and 1-re-
verse speed transmission.
