following precautions to prevent
malfunctions or battery dis-
charge.
– Although you can replace the
battery of the access key by
yourself, it is recommended
that the battery be replaced by
a SUBARU dealer to avoid the
risk of damage at the time of
replacement.
– Do not get the access key wet.
If the access key gets wet,
wipe it off immediately and let
it dry completely.
– Do not apply strong impacts
to the access key.
– Keep the access key away
from magnetic sources.
– Never leave the access key in
direct sunlight or anywhere
that may become hot, such
as on the dashboard. It may
damage the battery or cause
circuit malfunctions.
– Do not wash the access key in
an ultrasonic washer.
– Do not leave the access key in
humid or dusty locations, or
near personal computers or
home electric appliances.NOTE
After the vehicle battery is discharged
or replaced, initialization of the steering
lock system may be required to start
the engine. In this case, perform the
following procedure to initialize the
steering lock.
1) Turn the push-button ignition
switch to the “OFF ”position. For de-
tails, refer to “Switching power status ”
F 3-7.
2) Open and close the driver ’s door.
3) Wait for approximately 10 seconds.
When the steering is locked, the initi-
alization is completed.
! Regarding access key
CAUTION
If the access key is dropped, the
integrated mechanical key inside
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 the access key be
reregistered. For reregistration 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.
! 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” F2-18. The setting can
also be changed by a SUBARU dealer.
For more details, contact a SUBARU
dealer.

gas from entering the vehicle,
always keep the trunk lid closed
while driving.
. Help prevent children, adults or
animals from locking themselves
in the trunk. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the
trunk could quickly become high
enough to cause death or serious

The trip meter shows the distance that the
vehicle has been driven since you last set
it to zero.
Trip reset switch
If you press the trip reset switch when the
ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF ”or
“ACC ”position, the odometer/trip meter
will light up. It is possible to switch
between the A trip meter and B trip meter
indications while the odometer/trip meter
is lit up. If you do not press the trip reset
switch within 10 seconds of illumination of
the odometer/trip meter, the odometer/trip
meter will turn off.

tion meter and battery is broken for any
reason such as vehicle maintenance or
fuse replacement, the data recorded on
the trip meter will be lost.
& Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. In this range, fuel injection will
be cut by the engine control module

event that a transmitter is lost, stolen,
damaged or additional transmitters are
desired (the system will accept up to eight
transmitters). New remote engine start
transmitters can be programmed accord-
ing to the following procedure.
1. Open the driver’s door (the driver ’s
door must remain opened throughout the
entire process).
2. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
3. Turn the ignition switch to “ON”then
“ LOCK”, back to “ON”then “LOCK ”, back

lights, tail lights and parking lights and
honk the horn three times, indicating that
the system has entered the transmitter
learn mode.
5. Press and release the “
”button on
the transmitter that you want to program.
6. The system will flash the side marker
lights, tail lights and parking lights and
honk the horn one time, indicating that the

successful programming, the remote start
confirmation transmitter button will flash
one time.
7. Repeat step 5 for any additional
transmitters (the system will accept up to eight transmitters).
8. The system will exit the transmitter
learn mode if the key is turned to the
“LOCK”
position, the door is closed or
after 2 minutes.
& System maintenance
NOTE
For models without “keyless access
with push-button start system ”:
In the event that the vehicle ’s battery is
replaced, discharged or disconnected,
it will be necessary to start the vehicle
a minimum of one time using the key
prior to activating the remote engine
start system. This is required to allow
the vehicle electronic systems to re-
synchronize.
! Changing the batteries
CAUTION
.Do not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the remote engine start
transmitter when replacing the
battery.
. Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the re-
mote engine start transmitter
when replacing the battery. .
Be careful not to allow children to
touch the battery and any re-
moved parts; children could
swallow them.
. There is a danger of explosion if
an incorrect replacement battery
is used. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type of bat-
tery.
. Batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sun-
shine, fire or the like.
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system:
Perform the procedure described in “Re-
placing battery of access key ”F 11-50.
For models without “keyless access
with push-button start system ”:
The 3-volt lithium battery (model CR-
2032) supplied in your remote engine start
transmitter should last approximately one
year, depending on usage. When the
battery begins to weaken, you will notice
a decrease in range (distance from the
vehicle that your remote control operates).
Follow the instructions below to change
the remote engine start transmitter battery.
