airplane, take measures to prevent
the buttons of the access key from
being pressed.
NOTE
The status of the access key and
environmental conditions may interfere
with the communication between the
access key and the vehicle under the
following conditions.
.When operating near a source of
strong radio waves or other interfer-
ence, such as a broadcast station or
power transmission lines
.When products that transmit radio
waves are used, such as an access key
or a remote transmitter key of another
vehicle
.When carrying the access key of
your vehicle together with an access
key or a remote transmitter of anothervehicle
.When the access key is placed near
wireless communication equipment
such as a cell phone, or near a metallic
object
.When metallic accessories are at-
tached to the access key
.When carrying the access key with
electronic appliances such as a laptop
computer
.When the battery of the access key
is discharged
In such cases, it may not be possible to
lock or unlock the doors or start the
engine.

key may be locked inside the
vehicle, or the battery may dis-
charge rapidly. Note that the
push-button ignition switch may
not turn on in some cases de-
pending on the location of the
access key..The access key contains electro-
nic components. Observe the
following precautions to prevent
malfunctions or battery dis-
charge.

may become loose. Be careful not
to lose the mechanical key.
NOTE
.The access key is always commu-
nicating with the vehicle and is con-
tinuously using the battery. Although
the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, it is ap-
proximately 1 to 2 years. If the battery
becomes fully discharged, replace it
with a new one.
.If an access key is lost, it is
recommended that all of the remaining
access keys be reregistered. For rere-
gistration of an access key, contact a
SUBARU dealer.
.Up to 7 access keys can be regis-
tered for one vehicle. For a spare
access key, contact a SUBARU dealer.
.Carefully store the key number plate
supplied with the access key. It is
necessary for vehicle repair and addi-
tional registration of access keys.
.Do not leave the access key in the
storage spaces inside the vehicle.
Vibrations may damage the key or turn
on the switch, possibly resulting in a
lockout.
.Do not leave the access key in the
following places.

although no malfunction actually
occurs.
–No warning is issued even when
any malfunction occurs.
!Regarding setting
NOTE
.The operational/non-operational
setting for the keyless access function
can be changed. For the setting proce-
dure, refer to“Disabling keyless ac-
cess function”F2-17. The setting can
also be changed by a SUBARU dealer.
For more details, contact a SUBARU
dealer.
.For detailed information about the

When the keyless access functions are
disabled, the LED indicator does not flash
unless a button on the access key is
pressed.
!Operating range tips
Regarding malfunction:
The keyless access function may not
operate properly due to the following
reasons.
.The access key is placed too close to
the vehicle body (in this case, repeat the
operation from further away).
.The access key is placed near the
ground or in an elevated location from theground, even if it is in the indicated
operating range.
.The status of the access key and the
radio wave conditions around the vehicle
(e.g., access key battery discharge) (in
this case, perform the procedure de-
scribed in“Locking and unlocking”F9-
17).
Precautions:
.When the access key is within the
operating range, it is possible for anyone,
even someone who is not carrying the
access key, to operate the keyless access
function. Please note that the keyless
access function is only available for the
following items when the access key is
detected within operating range.
–Door handle
–Door lock sensor
–Rear gate opener button
–Rear lock button
.It is not possible to lock the doors and
rear gate using the keyless access func-
tion when the access key is inside the
vehicle. However, depending on the status
of the access key and the environmental
conditions, the access key may be locked
inside the vehicle. Before locking the
doors and rear gate, make sure that you
have the access key.
.The operating range may be reduced,or the keyless access function may not
operate in the following cases:
–When the battery of the access key
is discharged
–When the access key is in a
location with strong radio waves or
noise (e.g., near a radio tower, power
plant, broadcast station or an area
where wireless equipment is used)
–While talking on a cell phone
In such a case, perform the procedure
described in“Locking and unlocking”
F9-17.
.When an access key is in the operating
range, if the door handle becomes wet
due to exposure to a significant amount of
water when the vehicle is washed or
during heavy rain, the doors may be
locked or unlocked.
!How to use keyless access func-
tions
!Keyless access function tips

without using the access key/remote
transmitter.
The system can be disarmed if you turn
the ignition switch from the“LOCK”/“OFF”
to the“ON”position with a registered key/
access key.
NOTE
For models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”, if the ac-
cess key battery is discharged, perform
the procedure described in“Switching
