Scrapping of your SUBARU
The SRS airbag and seatbelt pretensioner devices in your SUBARU contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seatbelt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seatbelt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your SUBARU
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These
components may include airbag, seatbelt pretensioners, and transmitter
batteries.
WARNING
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

Before driving
■Conditions affecting operation
The keyless access with push button start system uses weak radio waves. In
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

32 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk lid
■Notes for the “keyless access” entry function
●Even when the access key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The access key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The access key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk lid is unlocked.
• The access key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the
door pockets or glove box or auxiliary box when the engine is started or
push-button ignition switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the access key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the
access key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the access key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the access key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the access key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the access key is within
the effective range. (The door will automatically be locked after approxi-
mately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
●If the remote keyless entry system is used to lock the doors when the
access key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the “keyless access” entry function. (Use the remote key-
less entry system to unlock the doors.)
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.

play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone or other wireless commu-
nication devices
●When the transmitter is in contact with, or is covered by a metallic object
●When other transmitters (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
