2-3. Immobilizer

The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. If engine
start is attempted with an unregistered
access key fob or key, the engine will not
start. Even if the engine does start, it will
stop after a few seconds. This system,
however, is not a 100% anti-theft guaran-
tee.

CAUTION

.

Do not place the key under direct

sunlight or anywhere it may be-
come hot.

.

Do not get the key wet. If the key

gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.

.

Do not modify or remove the

system. If modified or removed,
the proper operation of the sys-
tem cannot be guaranteed.

NOTE

.

To protect your vehicle from theft,

please pay close attention to the follow-
ing security precautions:

– Never leave your vehicle unat-
tended with its keys inside.
– Before leaving your vehicle,
close all windows and the moon-
roof, and lock the doors (all models)
and rear gate (Outback).
– Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in the
vehicle.

.

The vehicle has a maintenance-free

type immobilizer system.

&

Security Indicator Light

Refer to “Security Indicator Light” FP192.

&

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.

NOTE

If you lose a key, the lost key’s ID code
still remains in the memory of the
vehicle’s immobilizer system. For se-
curity 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.
