To protect your vehicle from theft,
please pay close attention to the
following 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 and rear
gate.
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.
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.
– Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in the
vehicle.
.
The vehicle has a maintenance-free
type immobilizer system.
For details about new key registration
and erasing the lost key’s ID code,
contact your SUBARU dealer.
