DENSO&Tips!Operating range tips
Regarding malfunction:
The keyless access function may not
operate properly due to the following
reasons.
.The access key fob is placed too close
to the vehicle body (in this case, repeat the
operation from further away).
.The access key fob is placed near the
ground or in an elevated location from theground, even if it is in the operating range.
.The status of the access key fob and
the radio wave conditions around the
vehicle (in this case, perform the proce-
dure described in“Locking and unlocking”
F9-26.)
Precautions:
.When the access key fob is within the
operating range, it is possible for anyone,
even someone who is not carrying the
access key fob, to operate the keyless
access function. Please note that the
keyless access function is only available
for the following items when the access
key fob is detected within operating range.
–Door handle
–Door lock sensor
–Trunk opener button
.It is not possible to lock the doors using
the keyless access function when the
access key fob is inside the vehicle.
However, depending on the status of the
access key fob and the environmental
conditions, the access key fob may be
locked inside the vehicle. Before locking,
make sure that you have the access key
fob.
.The operating ranges may be reduced,
or the keyless access function may not
operate in the following cases:
–When the battery of the access keyfob is discharged
–When the access key fob is in a
location with strong radio waves or
noise (e.g., near a radio tower, power
plant, broadcast station or an area
where wireless equipment is used)
–While talking on a cell phone
In such a case, perform the procedure
described in“Locking and unlocking”F9-
26
.When an access key fob is in the
operating range, if the door handle be-
comes wet due to exposure to a significant
amount of water when the vehicle is
washed or during heavy rain, the doors
may be locked or unlocked.
!Keyless access function tips
.Turn off the push-button ignition switch
before locking the doors using the keyless
access function. It is not possible to lock
the doors using the keyless access func-
tion when the push-button ignition switch is
on the“ACC”or“ON”position. For details
about turning off the push-button ignition
switch, refer to“Switching power status”
F3-7.
.If the door handle is gripped or the door
lock sensor is touched with a gloved hand,
the doors may not be locked or unlocked.
.If the door lock sensor is touched three
times or more repeatedly, the system will

the following audio sets. Refer to the
pages indicated in this section for operat-
ing details.
CAUTION
.Always consult your SUBARU

audio/visual system on when the
engine is not running.NOTE.If a cell phone is placed near the
audio set, it may cause the audio set to
emit noise when the phone receives

&Tips for operating the audio/
visual system
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the audio/visual
system:
.Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/visual system.
.Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc
slot.NOTEThe use of a cell phone inside or near
the vehicle may cause a noise from the
speakers of the audio/visual system
which you are listening to. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
!Radio
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with the
radio—it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or phone wires can interfere with AM
signals. And of course, radio signals have
a limited range. The farther the vehicle isfrom a station, the weaker its signal will be.
In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem
with the radio are described.
!FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for 2 signals to reach the
vehicle’s antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being
listened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.!AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at
night. These reflected signals can interfere
with those received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.
!SiriusXM (if equipped)
.Cargo loaded on the roof luggage
carrier, especially metal objects, may
adversely affect the reception of SiriusXM
Satellite Radio.
.Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may in-
validate the user’s right to operate the
equipment.

To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint-
free cloth that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the
center to the edge of the disc (not in
circles). Dry it with another soft, lint-free
cloth. Do not use a conventional record
cleaner or anti-static device.
!CD-R/RW discs
.CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the“finalizing process”(a
process that allows discs to be played on
a conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
.It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-
RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer because
of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on thelens of the unit.
.It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the
environment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropri-
ate application manufacturers of the appli-
cations.)
.CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high tem-
peratures or other storage conditions. The
unit may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
.If you insert a CD-RW disc into the
player, playback will begin more slowly
than with a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
.Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double Den-
sity CD) system.
