CAUTION
■To prevent key damage
Observe the following:
●Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
●Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for a long period of time.
●Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.
●Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.
●Do not disassemble the keys.
●Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the key.
●Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system: Do not place
the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as TVs, audio
systems, glass top ranges, or medical electrical equipment, such as low-
frequency therapy equipment.
■Carrying the access key on your person (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system)
Carry the access key 3.9 in. (10 cm) or more away from electric appliances
that are turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances within 3.9
in. (10 cm) of the access key may interfere with the key, causing the key to
not function properly.
■In case of a keyless access with push button start system malfunction
or other key-related problems (vehicles with a keyless access with
push button start system)
Take your vehicle with all the access keys provided with your vehicle to your
SUBARU dealer.
■When a vehicle key is lost
If the key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit
your SUBARU dealer immediately with all remaining access keys that were
provided with your vehicle.

the following situations, the communication between the access key and the
vehicle may be affected, preventing the keyless access with push button
start system, remote keyless entry system and engine immobilizer system
from operating properly. (Way of coping oP. 449)
●When the access key battery is depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
●When the access key is in contact with, or is covered by the following
metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When another transmitters (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the access key together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• A portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless com-
munication device
• Another vehicle's access key or a transmitter that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to
the rear window
●When the access key is placed near a battery charger or electronic
devices

Before driving
■Driver’s SRS frontal airbag
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator oper-
ates in different ways depending on the severity of impact.
Have the system inspected by your SUBARU dealer immediately if the SRS
airbag system warning light illuminates.
NOTE
The driver’s SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are not controlled by
the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system.
■Front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The
inflator operates in different ways depending on the severity of impact.
The occupant detection system sensor is installed under the seat upholstery
and monitors the physique and posture of the front passenger. Using this
information, the occupant detection system determines whether the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not.
The occupant detection system may not inflate the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal airbag deploys. This is nor-
mal. In this case, although the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag does not
operate, the front passenger’s seatbelt pretensioner operates with the
driver’s seatbelt pretensioner. For details about the seatbelt pretensioner,
refer to “Seatbelt pretensioners”. (oP. 61)
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system from functioning correctly or
cause the system to fail.
●Do not apply any strong impact to the front passenger’s seat.
●Do not spill liquid on the front passenger’s seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it
off immediately.
●Do not remove or disassemble the front passenger’s seat.
●Do not install any accessory (such as an audio amplifier) other than a
genuine SUBARU accessory under the front passenger’s seat.
●Do not place anything (shoes, umbrella, etc.) under the front passenger’s
seat.
●Do not place a magnet near the seatbelt buckle.

WARNING
■Front passenger occupant detection system precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant
detection system.
Failure to do so may cause the occupant detection system to not function
correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Wear the seatbelt properly.
●Do not apply excessive force to the seat.
●Do not put sharp object(s) on the seat or pierce the seat upholstery.
●Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.
●Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers
the seat cushion surface.
●Do not spill liquid on the front passenger seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it off
immediately and dry the seat. If the airbag warning light illuminates, dry
the seat until the warning light turns off. If the airbag warning light stays on
even when the seat has dried, do not allow anyone to sit on the front pas-
senger seat and have the system checked by your SUBARU dealer. If the
airbag warning light does not illuminate, check that the airbag ON/OFF
indicator light works properly. If the indicator light does not work properly,
do not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger’s seat and have the sys-
tem inspected by your SUBARU dealer.
●Do not remove or disassemble the front passenger seat. Also, do not
replace or modify the seat upholstery or foam inside the seat.
●Do not install any accessory (such as an audio amplifier) other than a gen-
uine SUBARU accessory under the front passenger’s seat.
●Do not place a magnetized items near the seatbelt buckle.

2-4. Using other driving systems
Rear view camera
The rear view camera is installed to the trunk lid and displays a rear
view image on the audio/navigation monitor when the engine switch
is in the “ON” position (vehicles without a keyless access with push
button start system) or the push-button ignition switch is in “ON”
mode (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system)
and the select lever (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or
shift lever (vehicles with a manual transmission) is set to “R”.
