Hill-holder System PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SERVICES 16.Hill-holder System A: INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT 1) Confirm the stopping and starting performance by activating the hill-holder on an uphill road of 3° or higher inclination. (1) When the vehicle does not stop; Tighten the adjusting nut of PHV cable. (2) When the vehicle does not start properly; ‘A; When the hill-holder is released later than en- ‘gagement of clutch (engine tends to stall): Loos- en the adjusting nut gradually until smooth starting is enabled. D; When the hill-holder is released earlier than engagement to clutch (vehicle slips down slight- ly): Tighten the adjusting nut so that hill-holder is, released later than engagement of clutch (status. in A). Then make adjustment the same as in A. NOTE: * Whenever turing the adjusting nut, hold the in- her cable with pliers to prevent it from turning. + Replace the pressure hold valve (PHV) or PHV cable with a new one, if they are defective and/or damaged.

Pay attention to the fluid temperature when checking ATF level. 1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en- gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158 —_176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. 2) Make sure the vehicle is level 3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1), set the select lever in “P” range.

Ifthe ATF lavel is below lower level, check tha transmission for leaks. If there are leaks, it is neo- essary to repair or replace gasket, oil seals, plugs or other parts. 5) If the ATF level is below the center between up- per and lower level, add the recommended ATF un- til the ATF level is found above the center between Upper and lower level. CAUTION: + Use care not to exceed the upper limit level. + Addition of ATF to the upper level when the transmission is cold will result in overfilling of ATF, causing a transmission failure. 6) Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature 0.70 — 80°C (158 —176°F) by running the vehicle or by idling the engine again.
