2-4 Keys and doors
„Security indicator light
The security indicator light deters potential
thieves by indicating that the vehicle is
equipped with an immobilizer system. It
begins flashing approximately 60 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned from the
“ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” po-
sition or immediately after the key is pulled
out.
If the security indicator light does not
flash, the immobilizer system may be
faulty. If this occurs, contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation key), the security indicator
light comes on.NOTE
Even if the security indicator light
flashes irregularly or its fuse blows
(the light does not flash if its fuse is
blown), the immobilizer system will function normally. „ Key replacement
Your key number plate and security ID
plate will be required if you ever need a re-placement key made. Any new key must
be registered for use with your vehicle’s
immobilizer system before it can be used.
Up to four keys can be registered for use
with one vehicle.
For security, all the keys registered with
your vehicle’s immobilizer system will
have their ID codes erased and re-regis-
tered when a new key is made. Therefore,
all of your vehicle’s keys must be present-
ed when a new key is registered. Any key
that is not re-registered when a new key is
made cannot be used after the other keys
are re-registered. For information on re-
placement keys and on the registration of keys with your imm obilizer system, con-
tact your SUBARU dealer.Door locks „ Locking and unlocking from
the outside
To lock the driver’s door from the outside
with the key, turn the key toward the rear.
To unlock the door, turn the key toward
the front.
Lift the outside door handle to open an un- locked door.

open and close the driver’s door within 10
seconds of illumination of the odometer/
trip meter, the odometer/trip meter will gooff.
NOTE
If the connection between the combi-
nation meter and battery is broken for
any reason such as vehicle mainte-
nance or fuse replacement, the data re-
corded on the trip meter will be lost.

(chapter 3).
5. Turn the ignition sw itch to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the key immediately af-
ter the engine has started. If the engine does not
start, try the follow-
ing.
1) Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position and wait for at least 10 sec-
onds. After checking that the parking
brake is firmly set, turn the ignition
switch to the “START” position while de-
pressing the accelerator pedal slightly
(approximately a quarter of the full
stroke). Release th e accelerator pedal
as soon as the engine starts.
2) If this fails to start the engine, turn theignition switch back to the “OFF” posi-
tion and wait for at least 10 seconds.
Then fully depress the accelerator ped-
al and turn the ignition switch to the
“START” position. If the engine starts,
quickly release the accelerator pedal.

the accelerator pedal.
4) If the engine still refuses to start, con-
tact your nearest SUBARU dealer for assistance.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have gone off after the engine has
started. The fuel injection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the en-
gine warms up. „

4) If the engine still refuses to start, con-
tact your nearest SUBARU dealer forassistance.
6. Confirm that all warning and indicator
lights have gone out after the engine has
started. The fuel in jection system auto-
matically lowers the idle speed as the en-
gine warms up.
While the engine is warming up, make
sure that the selector lever is at the “P” or
“N” position and that the parking brake is
applied.
Stopping the engine
The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.
Manual transmission
The manual transmission is a fully syn-
chromeshed, 5-forward-speed and 1-re-
verse-speed transmission.
Do not stop the engine when the ve-
hicle is moving. This will cause loss
of power to the power steering and
the brake booster, making steering
and braking more difficult. It could
also result in a ccidental activation
of the “LOCK” position on the igni-
tion switch, causing the steering
wheel to lock.Do not drive the vehicle with the
clutch disengaged (i.e., when the
clutch pedal is depressed) or with
the shift lever in the neutral posi-
tion. Engine braking has no effect in
either of these conditions and the
risk of an accident is consequently
increased. Shift into reverse ONLY when the
vehicle has completely stopped. It
may cause damage to the transmis- sion to try shifti ng into reverse
when the vehicle is moving.

In case of emergency 9-3
The temporary spare tire is smaller and
lighter than a conventional tire and is de-
signed for emergency use only. Remove
the temporary spare tire and re-install the
conventional tire as soon as possible be-
cause the spare tire is designed only for
temporary use.
Check the inflation pressure of the tempo-
rary spare tire periodically to keep the tire
ready for use. The correct pressure is 60
psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm 2
).
When using the temporary spare tire, note
the following.y Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
y Do not put a tire chain on the temporary
spare tire. Because of the smaller tire
size, a tire chain will not fit properly. y Do not use two or more temporary
spare tires at the same time. y Do not drive over obstacles. This tire
has a smaller diameter, so road clearance
is reduced. 1) Tread wear indicator bar
2) Indicator location mark
y When the wear indicator appears on the
tread, replace the tire. y The temporary spare tire must be used
only on a rear wheel. If a front wheel tire
gets punctured, replace the wheel with a
rear wheel and install the temporary spare
tire in place of the removed rear wheel.
NOTE
If your vehicle is an AWD type with an
automatic transmission but is neither a
Turbo model nor a 3.0-liter model, de-
activate its All-Wheel-Drive capability
as follows: Before driving your vehicle
with the temporary spare tire, put a
spare fuse inside the FWD connectorlocated in the engi ne compartment and
confirm that the “ ” warning
light comes on. The All-Wheel-Drive
capability of the vehicle has now been
deactivated. After re -installing the con-
ventional tire, remove the spare fuse
from the FWD connector in order to re-
activate All-Wheel Drive.
Never use any temporary spare tire
other than the original. Using other
sizes may result in severe mechani-
cal damage to the
drive train of your
vehicle.
