32 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk lid
■Notes for the “keyless access” entry function
●Even when the access key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The access key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The access key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk lid is unlocked.
• The access key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the
door pockets or glove box or auxiliary box when the engine is started or
push-button ignition switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the access key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the
access key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the access key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the access key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the access key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the access key is within
the effective range. (The door will automatically be locked after approxi-
mately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
●If the remote keyless entry system is used to lock the doors when the
access key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the “keyless access” entry function. (Use the remote key-
less entry system to unlock the doors.)
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.

98 1-7. Safety information
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system
Your vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system that complies with the new advanced frontal airbag require-
ments in the amended Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 208.
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system automatically deter-
mines the deployment force of the driver’s SRS frontal airbag at the
time of deployment as well as whether or not to activate the front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if activated, the deployment force of
the SRS frontal airbag at the time of deployment.
Your vehicle has warning labels on the driver’s and front passenger’s
sun visors beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR
BAGS” and a tag attached to the glove box lid beginning with the
phrase “Even with Advanced Air Bags”. Make sure that you carefully
read the instructions on the warning labels and tag.
Always wear your seatbelt. The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system is a supplemental restraint system and must be used in com-
bination with a seatbelt. All occupants should wear a seatbelt or be
seated in an appropriate child restraint system.
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the center portion of the
steering wheel. The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed
near the top of the dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the following components
deploy.
●SRS frontal airbag for driver
●SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
These components supplement the seatbelts by reducing the impact
to the occupant’s head and chest.

164 2-1. Driving procedures
WARNING
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a
fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and
plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the
interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle's electrical components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a
place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when
luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
●Do not attach suction cups to the windshield or windows. Do not place
containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Suction cups or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a
metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause
the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake, shift the select lever to P (vehicles with an
automatic transmission only), stop the engine and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it
is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead
to death or a serious health hazard.

WARNING
■Items that should not be left in the storage spaces
Do not leave glasses, lighters or spray cans in the storage spaces, as this
may cause the following when cabin temperature becomes high:
●Glasses may be deformed by heat or cracked if they come into contact
with other stored items.
●Lighters or spray cans may explode. If they come into contact with other
stored items, the lighter may catch fire or the spray can may release gas,
causing a fire hazard.
