serviceable parts. Do not use
electrical test equipment on any

WARNING
.Never turn the ignition switch to
the“LOCK”position while the
vehicle is being driven or towed
because that will lock the steer-
ing wheel, preventing steering
control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much great-
er effort than usual to steer.
.Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure
to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child or
others. Children could operate
the power windows, the moon-
roof or other controls or even
make the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the“ON”posi-
tion to the“ACC”or“LOCK”posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a key
holder or to a large bunch of other
keys, centrifugal force may act on it
as the vehicle moves, resulting in
unwanted turning of the ignition
switch.
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.
NOTE
.Keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK”position when the engine is
not running.
.Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in the
“ON”or“ACC”position can cause the
battery to go dead.
.If the ignition switch will not move
from the“LOCK”position to the“ACC”
position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
the ignition switch.
&LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key.

the following precautions.
–Do not spill drinks or other
liquids on the push-button
ignition switch.
–Do not touch the push-button
ignition switch with a hand
that is soiled with oil or othercontaminants.
.If the push-button ignition switch
does not operate smoothly, stop
the operation. Contact a
SUBARU dealer immediately.
.If the push-button ignition switch
does not illuminate even when
the instrument panel illumination
is turned on, have the vehicle
inspected at a SUBARU dealer.
.If the vehicle was left in the hot
sun for a long time, the surface of
the push-button ignition switch
may get hot. Be careful not to
burn yourself.
NOTE
.When operating the push-button
ignition switch, firmly press it all the
way.
.If the push-button ignition switch is
pressed quickly, the power may not
turn on or off.

pressed, steering is locked. When this
occurs, press the push-button ignition
switch while turning the steering wheel
left and right.
