SUBARU — Smart Engine Start Page 1
INTRODUCTION
Smart Engine Start allows you to start your engine from outside the vehi\
cle. It utilizes
your vehicle’s keyless entry remote, so there is no need for a special remote. In
addition, Smart Engine Start can activate the heater or air conditioner, providing you
with a comfortable cabin upon entry.
To ensure your safety, and the safety of anyone near the vehicle, Smart Engine Start
is designed to shut the engine off when it detects any attempt to enter or move the
vehicle after a Smart Engine Start.
NOTES:
• To utilize Smart Engine Start, your vehicle must have an automatic transm\
ission
equipped with a Keyless Access and Start system; it cannot be used for manual
transmission models.
• The transmission range for Smart Engine Start may be shorter than the re\
mote’s
basic keyless entry operation.
• Range can also be affected by the condition of the key and radio wave conditions
in the surrounding environment.
• While the engine is running, the transmission range for Smart Engine Sta\
rt may
be shorter.
• Please adhere to state, provincial, and local laws when using Smart Engi\
ne Start.
Failure to do so may result in legal penalties.
Examples: • The vehicle must be within view of anyone using Smart Engine Start.
• Do not unnecessarily start the engine while the vehicle is stopped.
