Scrapping of your SUBARU
The SRS airbag and seatbelt pretensioner devices in your SUBARU contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seatbelt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seatbelt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your SUBARU
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These
components may include airbag, seatbelt pretensioners, and transmitter
batteries.
WARNING
■ General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impa ired your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
■ General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

Using the mechanical key (vehicles with a keyless access with
push button start system)
To take out the mechanical key,
push the release knob and take
the key out.
After using the mechanical key,
store it in the access key. Carry
the mechanical key together with
the access key. If the access key
battery is depleted or the “keyless
access” entry function does not
operate properly, you will need
the mechanical key.
(→ P. 476)
■When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Turn the trunk lid opener main switch off as circumstances demand.
(→ P. 47)
On vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system, provide
the attendant with the valet key.
On vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system, remove the
mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the access
key only.
■ Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place, not in the vehicle. In the event that a key
(without a keyless access with push button start system) or mechanical key
(with a keyless access with push button start system) is lost, a new key can
be made at your SUBARU dealer using the key number plate. ( →P. 475)
■ When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with remote keyless entry system onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons
are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
