Keys and doors/Immobilizer
the vehicle (models with “keyless access
with push-button start system”)
. When a key is inserted into the ignition
switch and turned to the “ON” position
(models without “keyless access with
push-button start system”)
If the transmitted ID code matches the ID
code registered in the immobilizer system,
the system allows the hybrid system to be
started. Since the ID code is transmitted
and acted upon almost instantly, the
immobilizer system does not impede
normal starting of the hybrid system.
If the hybrid system does not start, perform either of the following procedures.
. Perform the procedure described in
“Starting hybrid system” F9-24 (models
with “keyless access with push-button
start system”).
. Pull out the key once before trying
again (models without “keyless access
with push-button start system”). Refer to
“Ignition switch” F3-3.
CAUTION
. Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may
become hot.
. Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.
NOTE
To protect your vehicle from theft,
please pay close attention to the following security precautions:
. Never leave your vehicle unattended
with its keys inside.
. Before leaving your vehicle, close all
windows and the moonroof, and lock
the doors and rear gate.
. Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in the
vehicle.
. The vehicle has a maintenance-free
type immobilizer system.
& Security indicator light
Refer to “Security indicator light” F3-29.
& Key replacement
Your key number plate will be required if
you ever need a replacement key made.
Any new key must be registered for use
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system
before it can be used. The maximum
number of keys that can be registered
for use with one vehicle is as follows.
. Four (models without “keyless access
with push-button start system”)
. Seven (models with “keyless access
with push-button start system”)
One key that has already been registered
is required in order to register a new key.
If you lose a key, the lost key’s ID code still
remains in the memory of the vehicle’s
immobilizer system. For security reasons,
the lost key’s ID code should be erased
from the memory. To erase the lost key’s
ID code, all keys that will be used are
required.
For details about new key registration and
erasing the lost key’s ID code, contact
your SUBARU dealer.
