. The keyless access with push-button start system uses weak radio
waves. The status of the access key
and environmental conditions may interfere with the communication between the access key and the vehicle
under the following conditions, and it
may not be possible to lock or unlock
the doors or start the engine.
– When operating near a facility
where strong radio waves are transmitted, such as a broadcast station
and power transmission lines
– When products that transmit
radio waves are used, such as an
access key or a remote transmitter
key of another vehicle
– When carrying the access key of
your vehicle together with an access key or a remote transmitter of
another vehicle
– When the access key is placed
near wireless communication
equipment such as a cell phone
– When the access key is placed
near a metallic object
– When metallic accessories are
attached to the access key
– When carrying the access key
with electronic appliances such as
a laptop computer
– When the battery of the access
key is discharged
. The access key is always communicating with the vehicle and is continuously using the battery. Although
the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, it is approximately 1 to 2 years. If the battery
becomes fully discharged, replace it
with a new one.
. If an access key is lost, it is
recommended that the remaining access key be reregistered. For reregis-
tration of an access key, contact a
SUBARU dealer.
. For a spare access key, contact a
SUBARU dealer.
. Up to 7 access keys can be registered for one vehicle.
. Carefully store the key number plate
supplied with the access key. It is
necessary for vehicle repair.
. Do not leave the access key in the
storage spaces inside the vehicle, such
as the door pocket, dashboard and the
corner of the cargo area. Vibrations
may damage the key or turn on the
switch, possibly resulting in a lockout.
. After the vehicle battery is discharged or replaced, initialization of
the steering lock system may be required to start the engine. In this case,
perform the following procedure to
initialize the steering lock.
(1) Turn the push-button ignition
switch to the “OFF” position. For
details, refer to “Switching power
status” F3-7.
(2) Open and close the driver’s
door.
(3) Wait for approximately 10 seconds.
When the steering is locked, the initialization is completed.
