2007 SUBARU OUTBACK key

Immobilizer
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. Even if
an unregistered 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 trans-
ponder 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 thekey ’s ID code to the immobilizer system ’s
receiver. If the transmitted ID code
matches the ID code registered in the
immobilizer system, 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 normal 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. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, in-
cluding interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void theuser
’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
NOTE
To protect your vehicle from theft,
please pay close attention to the fol-
lowing security precautions: . Never leave your vehicle unattended
with its keys inside. . Before leaving your vehicle, close all
windows and lock the doors and rear
gate (Station wagon).. Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in thevehicle.
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.
& Security ID plate
1) Key number plate
2) Security ID plate
The security ID is stamped on the security
ID 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 replace-
ment key if you lose your key or lock it
inside the vehicle.
This number is also needed for replace-
ment or repair of the engine control unit,
integrated unit, and combination meter. Keys and doors

& Security indicator light
Turbo models
Non-turbo models
The security indicator light deters potential
thieves by indicating that the vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system. It
begins flashing approximately 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 immobilizer 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 irregularly or its fuse blows
(the light does not flash if its fuse is
blown), the immobilizer system will
function normally. & Key replacement
Your key number plate and security ID
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.
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 regis-
tered. Any key that is not re-registered
when a new key is made cannot be used
after the other keys are re-registered. For
information on replacement keys and on
the registration of keys with your immo-
bilizer system, contact your SUBARU
dealer.
NOTE
A vehicle that is equipped with the
remote engine start system as the
dealer option can register up to three
keys for use with one vehicle.
