■System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system.
■Items to check before locking the vehicle
To prevent unexpected triggering of the alarm and vehicle theft, make sure
of the following.
●Nobody is in the vehicle.
●The windows are closed before the alarm is set.
●No valuables or other personal items are left in the vehicle.
■Opening and closing the trunk lid
●If the alarm setting operations are performed with the trunk lid left open,
the alarm will not be set. After closing the trunk lid, the alarm is set after
30 seconds or more elapse.
●When the trunk lid is unlocked using the “keyless access” entry function
or remote keyless entry system while the alarm is set, the alarm goes
into standby mode. After closing the trunk lid, the alarm is set again after
30 seconds or more elapse.
■Triggering of the alarm
The alarm may be triggered in the following situations.
Stopping the alarm deactivates the alarm system.
●A person inside the vehicle opens a
door or the trunk lid.

When driving
■Operation of the push-button ignition switch
When operating the push-button ignition switch, one short, firm press is
enough. If the switch is pressed improperly, the engine may not start or the
push-button ignition switch mode may not change. It is not necessary to
press and hold the switch.

■If the engine does not start
The engine immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. ( →P. 77)
Contact your SUBARU dealer.
■Steering lock
After turning the push-button ignition switch off and opening and closing the
doors, the steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function.
Operating the push-button ignition switch again automatically cancels the
steering lock. Vehicles with an automatic transmission:
Check that the select lever is securely set
in P. The engine may not start if the select
lever is displaced out of P. The keyless
access with push button start system indi-
cator light (green) will flash quickly.

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable
and explosive. Therefore, before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to discon-
nect the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and
disconnecting the charger cables to the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the battery (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system)
●Unlocking the doors using the keyless access with push button start sys-
tem may not be possible immediately after reconnecting the battery. If
this happens, use the remote keyless entry system or the mechanical
key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the push-button ignition switch in “ACC” mode. The
engine may not start with the push-button ignition switch turned off. How-
ever, the engine will operate normally from the second attempt.
●The push-button ignition switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the
battery is reconnected, the vehicle will return the push-button ignition
switch mode to the status it was in before the battery was disconnected.
Make sure to turn off the engine before disconnect the battery. Take extra
care when connecting the battery if the push-button ignition switch mode
prior to discharge is unknown.
If the engine will not start even after multiple attempts, contact your
SUBARU dealer.

ton start system) lithium battery
●Batteries can be purchased at your SUBARU dealer, local electrical
appliance shops or camera stores.
●Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.
●Dispose of used batteries according to local laws.
■If the key battery is depleted
The following symptoms may occur:
●The keyless access with push button start system (if equipped) and
remote keyless entry system will not function properly.
●The operational range will be reduced.
■When putting the module back (vehicles without a keyless access with
push button start system) Remove the depleted battery.
