Keys
1) Master key (black)
2) Submaster key (black)
3) Valet key (gray)

5) Security ID plate
Three types of keys are provided for your vehicle:
Master key, submaster key and valet key.

The valet key fits only the ignition switch
and driver ’s door lock. You can keep the glove box locked when you leave your
vehicle and valet key at a parking facility.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it bangs
against your knees while you are
driving, it could turn the ignition
switch from the “ON ”position to the
“ Acc ”or “LOCK ”position, thereby
stopping the engine.
& Key number plate and secur-
ity ID plate
1) Key number plate
2) Security ID plate
The key number is stamped on the key number plate attached to the key set. The
security ID for the immobilizer system is
stamped on the security ID plate attached
to the key set. Be sure to keep these
plates in a safe place, not in the vehicle. It
is recommended to make a note of these
numbers to be on the safe side. These
numbers are needed to make a replace-
ment key if you lose your key or lock it
inside the vehicle.
For information on making replacement
keys, refer to
“Key replacement ”F 2-3.
The security ID is also needed for
replacement or repair of the engine control

Immobilizer
CAUTION
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party re-
sponsible for compliance could void
the user ’s authority to operate the
equipment.
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle ’s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. Even if
an unregistered key fits into the ignition
switch and can be turned to the “START ”
position, the engine will not start or will
stop after several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a trans-
ponder in which the key ’s ID code is
stored. When a key is inserted into the
ignition switch and turned to the “ON ”
position, the transponder transmits thekey ’s ID code to the immobilizer system ’s
receiver. If the transmitted ID code
matches the ID code registered in the
immobilizer system, the system allows the
engine to be started. Since the ID code is
transmitted and acted upon almost in- stantly, the immobilizer system does not
impede normal starting of the engine.
If the engine fails to start, pull out the key
once before trying again. Refer to
“Ignition
switch ”F 3-3.
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC
Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this de-
vice may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesiredoperation.
CAUTION
. Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may
become hot.
. Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.
NOTE
To protect your vehicle from theft,
please pay close attention to the fol-
lowing security precautions. . Never leave your vehicle unattended
with its keys inside. . Before leaving your vehicle, close all windows and the moonroof, and lock
the doors and rear gate..
Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in thevehicle. & Security indicator light
Refer to “Security indicator light ”F 3-23.
& Key replacement
Your key number plate and security ID
plate are required if you need a new
replacement key. Any new key must be
registered to your vehicle ’s immobilizer
system. Up to four keys can be registered
for use with one vehicle.
For security, all the keys must be re-
registered to your vehicle ’s immobilizer
system when registering a new key.
Therefore, all of your vehicle ’s keys must
be presented when a new key is regis-
tered. Any key that is not re-registered
cannot be used after the other keys are re-
registered. For information on replace-
ment keys and on the registration of keys
with your immobilizer system, contact your
SUBARU dealer.
