Subaru Outback (BR): N (Neutral)
This position is for restarting a stalled engine.
In this position the wheels and transmission are not locked. In this position,
the transmission is neutral; the vehicle will roll freely, even on the slightest
incline unless the parking brake or foot brake is applied. Avoid coasting with the
transmission neutral.
During coasting, there is no engine braking effect.
NOTE
● To protect the engine while the “N” position is selected, the engine is controlled
such that the engine speed may not become too high even if the accelerator pedal
is depressed hard.
● If the select lever is in the “N” position when you stop the engine for parking,
you may not subsequently be able to move it to the “R” and “P” positions. If this
happens, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. You will then be able to
move the select lever to the “P” position.
