& 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.

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.
