Safety Precautions

WARNING

If you wear an implanted pacemaker
or an implanted defibrillator, stay at
least 8.7 in (22 cm) away from the
transmitting antennas installed on
the vehicle.

The radio waves from the transmit-
ting antennas on the vehicle could
adversely affect the operation of
implanted pacemakers and im-
planted defibrillators.

If you wear electronic medical equip-
ment other than an implanted pace-
maker or an implanted defibrillator,
before using the keyless access
with push-button start system, refer
to “Radio waves used for the key-
less access with push-button start
system” mentioned later, and con-
tact the electronic medical equip-
ment manufacturer for more infor-
mation. The radio waves from the
transmitting antennas on the vehicle
could adversely affect the operation
of the electronic medical equipment.

CAUTION

.

Never leave or store the access

key fob inside the vehicle or
within 6.6 ft (2 m) around the
vehicle (e.g., in the garage). The
access key fob may be locked
inside the vehicle, or the battery
may discharge rapidly. Note that
the push-button ignition switch
may not turn on in some cases
depending on the location of the
access key fob.

.

The access key fob contains

electronic components. Observe
the following precautions to pre-
vent malfunctions.

– It is recommended to have the

access key fob battery re-
p l a c e d a t a n a u t h o r i z e d
SUBARU dealer to avoid the
risk of damage.

– Do not get the access key fob

wet. If the access key fob gets
wet, wipe it off immediately
and let it dry completely.

– Do not apply strong impacts to

the access key fob.

– Never leave the access key

fob in direct sunlight or any-
where that may become hot,

such as on the dashboard. It
may damage the battery or
cause circuit malfunctions.

– Do not wash the access key

fob in an ultrasonic washer.

– Do not leave the access key

fob in humid or dusty loca-
tions. Doing so may cause
malfunctions.

– Keep the access key fob away

from magnetic sources.

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

.

When traveling in an airplane, do

not press the button of the ac-
cess key fob. If any button of the
access key fob is pressed, radio

waves are emitted and may affect
the operation of the airplane. In a

.

The operational/non-operational

setting for the keyless access function
can be changed. For the setting proce-
dure, refer to “Disabling Keyless Ac-
cess Function” FP125.
.

For detailed information about the

operation method for the push-button
ignition switch while the keyless ac-
cess function is switched to the non-
operational mode, refer to “Access Key
Fob – If Access Key Fob Does Not
Operate Properly” FP456.
.

The keyless access with push-but-

ton start system uses weak radio
waves. The status of the access key
fob and environmental conditions may
interfere with the communication be-
tween 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 trans-
mitted, such as a broadcast station
