the integrated emergency key in-
side may become loose. Be careful
not to lose the emergency key.

key fob is pressed, radio waves are
emitted and may affect the opera-
tion of the airplane. In a bag, take
measures to prevent the buttons

setting for the keyless access function
can be changed. For the setting
procedure, refer to “Disabling Keyless
Access Function” �P126.

operation method for the push-button
ignition switch while the keyless ac-
cess function is switched to the non-

start system uses weak radio waves.
The status of the access key fob and
environmental conditions may inter-
fere with the communication between
the access key fob and the vehicle
under the following conditions, and it
may not be possible to lock or unlock
the doors or start the engine.
– When operating near a facility
where strong radio waves are
transmitted, such as a broadcast
station and power transmission
lines.
– When products that transmit radio
waves are used, such as an access
key fob or a remote transmitter key
of another vehicle.
– When carrying the access key fob
of your vehicle together with the
access key fob of another vehicle.
– When the access key fob is placed
near wireless communication
equipment such as a cell phone.
– When the access key fob is placed
near a metallic object.
– When metallic accessories are
attached to the access key fob.
– When carrying the access key fob
with an electronic appliance such
as a laptop computer.
– When the battery of the access key
fob is discharged.
. The access key fob is always com-
municating with the vehicle and is
continuously using the battery.
Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating condi-
tions, it is approximately 1 to 2 years. If
the battery becomes fully discharged,
replace it with a new one.
. If an access key fob is lost, it is
recommended that all of the remaining
access key fobs be reregistered. For
reregistration of an access key fob,
contact a SUBARU dealer.
. For a spare access key fob, contact a
SUBARU dealer.
. Up to 7 access key fobs can be
registered for one vehicle.
. Do not leave the access key fob in the
storage spaces inside the vehicle,
such as the door pocket, dashboard or
inside the cargo area. Vibrations may
damage the key fob or turn on the
switch, possibly resulting in a lockout.
. After the vehicle battery is discharged
or replaced, initialization of the steer-
ing 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
details, refer to “Switching Power
Status” �P156.
(2) Open and close the driver’s door.
