Keys and doors/Immobilizer
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
guaranty.
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”
F 9-19.
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 push-
button start system) ”F 3-4.
CAUTION
. Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may
become hot.
. Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.
. Do not modify or remove the
system. If modified or removed,
the proper operation of the sys-
tem cannot be guaranteed.
NOTE
. To protect your vehicle from theft,
please pay close attention to the fol-
lowing security precautions:
–Never leave your vehicle unat-
tended with its keys inside.
– Before leaving your vehicle,
close all windows and the moon-
roof, and lock the doors (all models)
and rear gate (Outback).
– Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in the
vehicle.
. The vehicle has a maintenance-free
type immobilizer system.

& Security indicator light
Refer to “Security indicator light ”F 3-30.
& 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.
