The warning chime and the access key

poses:
. To minimize improper operation of the
keyless access with push-button start
system.
. To protect your vehicle from theft.
. When starting the engine again
after the operation indicator on
the push-button ignition switch
flashes in green, if the operation
indicator is still flashing in green,
there could be a steering lock
malfunction. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
. When the operation indicator on
the push-button ignition switch
flashes in orange, contact a
SUBARU dealer immediately.
NOTE
. When doors are not locked because
the access key fob is left inside the

trunk lid. Press the trunk opener switch
for approximately 1 second to open the
trunk lid. Refer to “To open the trunk lid
from inside” F2-37.

inside the trunk. Depending on the
status of the access key fob and
situation, the trunk lockout protect
function may not operate. Make sure
that you carry the access key fob, and
close the trunk lid.
. Even when the access key fob is
within the operating ranges inside the
vehicle, the access key warning for
engine start may be provided depend-
ing on the status of the access key fob
and the environmental conditions.
