The valet key fits only the ignition switch and door
locks. You can keep the trunk and glove box locked
when you leave your vehicle and valet key at a parking facility.
NOTE
If the key is attached to a keyholder or to a large
bunch of other keys, centrifugal force may act on
it as the vehicle moves, resulting in unwanted
turning of the ignition switch. Also, if a large key-
holder is attached to the key, your knees or hands
may accidentally touch it in a way that turns the ig-
nition switch. !
Key number
A) Key number plate
B) Security ID plate
The key number is stamped on the metal plate at-
tached to the key set. Write down the key number and
keep it in another safe place, not in the vehicle. This
number is needed to make a replacement key if you
lose your key or lock it inside the vehicle.
For information on making replacement keys for vehi-
cle with immobilizer system, refer to the “Immobilizer
(if equipped)” in this chapter.

Immobilizer (if equipped)
The immobilizer system is designed to prevent an un-
authorized person from starting the engine. Only keys
registered with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. Even if an unregis-
tered key fits into the ignition switch and can be turned
to the “START” position, the engine will automatically
stop after several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a transponder in which
the key’s ID code is stored. When a key is inserted into
the ignition switch and turned to the “ON” position, the
transponder transmits the key’s ID code to the immo-
bilizer system’s receiver. If the transmitted ID code
matches the ID code registered in the immobilizer sys-
tem, the system allows the engine to be started. Since
the ID code is transmitted and acted upon almost in-
stantly, the immobilizer system does not impede nor-
mal starting of the engine.
If the engine fails to start, pull out the key once before
trying again. (Refer to the “Ignition switch” section [chapter 3].)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Oper-
ation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
To protect your vehicle from theft, please pay
close attention to the following security precau- tions: "
Never leave your vehicle unattended with its
keys inside. " Before leaving your vehicle, close all windows
and lock the doors and rear gate. " Do not leave spare keys or any record of your
key number in the vehicle.
Do not get the key wet. If the key gets wet, wipeit dry with a cloth immediately.

!Security ID plate
A) Key number plate
B) Security ID plate
The security ID is stamped on the metal plate attached
to the key set. Write down the security ID and keep it
in another safe place, not in the vehicle. This number
is needed to make a replacement key if you lose your
key or lock it inside the vehicle.
This number is also needed for replacement or repair
of the engine control unit, integrated unit, and combi- nation meter. !
Security indicator light
The security indicator light deters potential thieves by
indicating that the vehicle is equipped with an immobi-
lizer system. It begins flashing about 60 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned from the “ON” position to
the “ACC” or “LOCK” position or immediately after the
key is pulled out.
If the security indicator light does not flash, the immo-
bilizer system may be faulty. If this occurs, contact
your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation
key), the security indicator light comes on.

NOTE
Even if the security indicator light flashes irregu-
larly or its fuse blows (the light does not flash if its
fuse is blown), the immobilizer system will func-
tion normally. !
Key replacement
Your key number plate and security ID plate will be re-
quired 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. Up to four
keys can be registered for use with one vehicle.
For security, all the keys registered with your vehicle’s
immobilizer system will have their ID codes erased
and re-registered when a new key is made. Therefore,
all of your vehicle’s keys must be presented when a
new key is registered. Any key that is not re-registered
when a new key is made cannot be used after the oth-
er keys are re-registered. For information on replace-
ment keys and on the registration of keys with your im-
mobilizer system, contact your SUBARU dealer.Door locks ! Locking and unlocking from the out- side
