Keys
NOTE
For models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”, refer to
“Keyless access with push-button start
system”F2-9.
1) Master key
2) Submaster key
3) Sub key
4) Key number plate
Three types of keys are provided for your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it bangsagainst your knees while you are
driving, it could turn the ignition
switch from the“ON”position to the
“ACC”or“LOCK”position, thereby
stopping the engine.
&Key number plate
The key number is stamped on the key
number plate attached to the key set.
Write down the key number and keep it in
another safe place, not in the vehicle. This
number is needed to make a replacement
key if you lose your key or lock it inside the
vehicle. Refer to“Key replacement”F2-4.
Immobilizer
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. This
system, however, is not a 100% anti-theft
guarantee.
For models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”:
If you press the push-button ignition
switch when carrying an unregistered
access key, the switch will not turn to the
“ON”position and the engine will not start.
If the engine does not start, perform the
procedure described in“Starting engine”
F9-18.
For models without“keyless access
with push-button start system”:
Even if an unregistered key fits into the
ignition switch and can be turned to the
“START”position, the engine will auto-
matically stop after several seconds.
If the engine does not start, pull out the
key once before trying again. Refer to
“Ignition switch (models without“keyless
access with push-button start system”)”
F3-4.

&Security indicator light
Refer to“Security indicator light”F3-30.
&Key replacement
Your key number plate will be required if
you ever need a replacement key made.
Any new key must be registered for use
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system
before it can be used. The maximum
number of keys that can be registered
for use with one vehicle is as follows.
.Four (models without“keyless access
with push-button start system”)
.Seven (models with“keyless access
with push-button start system”)
One key that has already been registered
is required in order to register a new key.
If you lose a key, the lost key’s ID code still
remains in the memory of the vehicle’s
immobilizer system. For security reasons,
the lost key’s ID code should be erased
from the memory. To erase the lost key’s
ID code, all keys that will be used are
required.
For details about new key registration and
erasing the lost key’s ID code, contact
your SUBARU dealer.
