Before driving
Using the mechanical key (vehicles with a keyless access with
push button start system)To take out the mechanical key,
slide the release lever and take
the key out.After using the mechanical key,
store it in the access key. Carry
the mechanical key together with
the access key. If the access key
battery is depleted or the “keyless
access” entry function does not
operate properly, you will need
the mechanical key. ( → P. 396)
■When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Turn the trunk lid opener main switch off as circumstances demand. (→ P. 46)
On vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system, provide
the attendant with the valet key.
On vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system, remove the
mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the access
key only.
■Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place, not in the vehicle. In the event that a key
(without a keyless access with push button start system) or mechanical key
(with a keyless access with push button start system) is lost, a new key can
be made at your SUBARU dealer using the key number plate. ( →P. 395)
■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with remote keyless entry system onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons
are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

■Conditions affecting operation
The keyless access with push button start system uses weak radio waves. In
the following situations, the communication between the access key and the
vehicle may be affected, preventing the keyless access with push button
start system, remote keyless entry system and engine immobilizer system
from operating properly. (Way of coping →P. 396)
●When the access key battery is depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
●When the access key is in contact with, or is covered by the following
metallic objects

WARNING
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
●People with implanted pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators should keep
away from the keyless access with push button start system antennas.(→ P. 25)
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary,
the “keyless access” entry function can be disabled. Ask your SUBARU
dealer for details, such as the frequency of radio waves and timing of emit-
ting the radio waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable
the “keyless access” entry function.
●Users of any electrical medical device other than implanted pacemakers
and implanted cardiac defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the
device for information about its operation under the influence of radio
waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such
medical devices.
Ask your SUBARU dealer for details for disabling the “keyless access” entry
function.
