2020 Subaru Forester Owners Manual - If your vehicle is involved in an accident



If your vehicle is involved in an accident

Your vehicle has a fuel pump shut off system. When the vehicle sustains an impact in an accident, etc., the fuel pump shut off system stops supplying the fuel in order to minimize fuel leakage. However, depending on the impact conditions at the time of collision, the fuel pump shut-off system may not operate.

Perform the following procedures to restart the engine after the system is activated.

If your vehicle is involved in an accident 439

    Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” or “ACC” position.
    Restart the engine.
    Turn the push-button ignition switch to the “ACC” or “OFF” position.
    Restart the engine.

& Auto lock/unlock operation when involved in an accident

When the auto lock/unlock function is ON, all the doors will be locked automatically while driving. For further details, refer to “Automatic door locking/unlocking”

 P135.

When the vehicle sustains a strong impact which may trigger the airbags to deploy, the door locks may be unlocked automa- tically to enable emergency escape. Gen- erally, an impact sustained from a rear end collision does not trigger the airbags to deploy. However if the impact is strong enough to deploy the airbags, it can also trigger the unlocking function.

Under such circumstance, the auto unlock/ lock function will be suspended and the

doors will remain unlocked.

Confirm the safety of the surroundings first and carry out the following to retrieve the auto door lock function.

    Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position.
    Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
    Turn the push-button ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
    Turn the push-button ignition switch to the “ON” position.
