WARNING
■When starting the engine
●Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress
the accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●If the keyless access with push button start system indicator light flashes
in green after the engine has started, never drive the vehicle. The steering
wheel is still locked, and it may result in an accident.
■Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the
doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the
steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in death
or serious injury.
■Stopping the engine
Do not touch the push-button ignition switch during driving.
When the push-button ignition switch is pressed for 2 seconds or longer or
pressed 3 times successively, the engine will stop. When the engine stops,
the brake booster will not function. A greater foot pressure will be required
on the brake pedal.
The power steering system will not operate either. A greater force will be
required to steer, and it may result in an accident.

170 2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
■To prevent battery discharge
●Do not leave the push-button ignition switch in “ACC” or “ON” mode for
long periods of time without the engine running.
●If the keyless access with push button start system indicator light (green)
is illuminated, the push-button ignition switch is not off. When exiting the
vehicle, always check that the push-button ignition switch is off.
●Vehicles with an automatic transmission: Do not stop the engine when the
select lever is in a position other than P. If the engine is stopped in another
select lever position, the push-button ignition switch will not be turned off
but instead be turned to “ACC” mode. If the vehicle is left in “ACC” mode,
battery discharge may occur.
■When starting the engine
●Do not race a cold engine.
●If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked by your SUBARU dealer immediately.
■Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the push-button ignition
switch
If the push-button ignition switch seems to be operating somewhat differently
than usual, such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction.
Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately.

*1:Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system
These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position to indicate that a system check is being performed. They
will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There
may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if
the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your
SUBARU dealer.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system
These lights turn on when the push-button ignition switch is turned
to “ON” mode to indicate that a system check is being performed.
They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds.
There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on,
or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your
SUBARU dealer.
*2: The light flashes to indicate that the system is operating.
*3: The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show
you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. When the
engine switch is turned to the “ON” position, (vehicles without a key-
less access with push button start system), or the push-button ignition
switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless access with
push button start system), both the ON and OFF indicators illuminate
for 6 seconds during the system check. After the system check, both
the ON and OFF indicators turn off for 2 seconds. Then, either the
ON or OFF indicator illuminates depending on the condition of the
front passenger’s frontal airbag.
When the OFF indicator remains off and ON indicator illuminates, the
front passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision. When
the OFF indicator illuminates and ON indicator remains off, the front
passenger’s frontal airbag does not deploy during a collision.
If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators remain
on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without a keyless access with push button start system) or the push-
button ignition switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system), or the indicators remain off
after the system check, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer immediately.
