BRZ_U
If the select lever cannot be shifted from P (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
If the select lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake, there
may be a problem with the shift lock system (a system to prevent
accidental operation of the select lever). Have the vehicle inspected
by your SUBARU dealer immediately.
The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to
ensure that the select lever can be shifted.
Set the parking brake.
Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start
system: Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” position.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start sys-
tem: Turn the push-button ignition switch to “ACC” mode.
Depress the brake pedal.Pry the cover up with a flat-
head screwdriver or equiva-
lent.
Press the shift lock release
button.
The select lever can be shifted
while the button is pressed.

Turn the mechanical key clock-
wise to open.
Starting the engine
Vehicles with an automatic transmission Ensure that the select lever is in P and firmly depress the
brake pedal.
Touch the area behind the lock
button and unlock button on the
access key to the push-button
ignition switch.
When the access key is detected,
a buzzer sounds and the push-
button ignition switch will turn to
“ON” mode.
When the keyless access with push button start system is deacti-
vated in customization setting, the push-button ignition switch will
turn to “ACC” mode. Modes can be changed by pressing the push-
button ignition switch with the brake pedal released. (The mode
changes each time the switch is pressed.)
Firmly depress the brake pedal and check that the keyless
access with push button start system indicator light (green)
turns on.
Press the push-button ignition switch.
In the event that the push-button ignition switch still cannot be oper-
ated, contact your SUBARU dealer.

Stopping the engine
Vehicles with an automatic transmission: Shift the select lever to P and press
the push-button ignition switch as you normally do when stopping the
engine.
Vehicles with a manual transmission: Shift the shift lever to neutral and press
the push-button ignition switch as you normally do when stopping the
engine.

access key battery be replaced immediately when the battery depletes.
(→ P. 388)
■ Alarm (if equipped)
Using the mechanical key to lock the doors will not set the alarm system.
If a door is unlocked using the mechanical key when the alarm system is set,
the alarm may be triggered. ( →P. 87)

WARNING
■
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free.
Use extreme caution.
■ When shifting the select lever
For vehicles with an automatic transmission, be careful not to shift the select
lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
■To avoid damage to the transmission and other components
● Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.
● If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
