Door locks & Locking and unlocking from
the outside
NOTE If you unlock the driver ’ s door with a
key (including a mechanical key) and
open the door while the alarm system
is armed, the alarm system is triggered
and the vehicle ’ s horn sounds. In this
case, perform any of the following
operations:
Models with “ keyless access with
push-button start system ” :
. Press any button on the access key
(except when the access key battery is
discharged).
. Turn the push-button ignition switch
to the “ ACC ” position.
Models without “ keyless access with
push-button start system ” :
. Press any button on the remote
transmitter (except when the transmit-
ter battery is discharged).
. Insert the key into the ignition
switch and turn the ignition switch to
the “ ON ” position.
For details about the alarm system,
refer to “ Alarm system ” F 2-25.Keys and doors/Door locks
– CONTINUED –2-5

Locking using power door locking switch
1) Press the front side (lock side) of the
power door locking switch.
2) Close the door.
In this case, all closed doors are locked at
the same time.
Always make sure that all doors and the
trunk lid are locked before leaving your
vehicle.
NOTE Make sure that you do not leave the key
inside the vehicle when locking the
doors from the outside without the key. & Locking and unlocking from
the inside
1) Unlock
2) Lock
To lock the door from the inside, rotate the
lock lever forward. To unlock the door from
the inside, rotate the lock lever rearward.
The red mark on the lock lever appears
when the door is unlocked.
Pull the inside door handle to open an
unlocked door.
Always make sure that all doors and the
trunk lid are closed before starting to drive. WARNINGKeep all doors locked when you
drive, especially when small chil-
dren are in your vehicle.
Along with the proper use of seat-
belts and child restraints, locking
the doors reduces the chance of
being thrown out of the vehicle in an
accident.
It also helps prevent passengers
from falling out by preventing a door
from being accidentally opened, and
intruders from unexpectedly open-
ing doors and entering your vehicle.
& Battery drainage prevention
function If a door is not completely closed, the
interior lights will remain illuminated as a
result. However, several lights will be
automatically turned off by the battery
drainage prevention function to prevent
the battery from discharging. The following
interior lights will be affected by this
function. Keys and doors/Door locks

CAUTION
. Never leave or store the access
key inside the vehicle (e.g., on
the instrumental panel, inside the glove box, on the seat, in the
door pocket or on the rear shelf)
or within 6.6 ft (2 m) around the
vehicle (e.g., in the garage). The
access key may be locked inside
the vehicle, or the battery may
discharge rapidly. Note that the
push-button ignition switch may
not turn on in some cases de-
pending on the location of the
access key.
. The access key contains electro-
nic components. Observe the
following precautions to prevent
malfunctions.
– Although you can replace the
battery of the access key
yourself, it is recommended
that the battery be replaced by
a SUBARU dealer to avoid the
risk of damage at the time of
replacement.
– Do not get the access key wet.
If the access key gets wet,
wipe it off immediately and let
it dry completely.
– Do not apply strong impacts
to the access key.
– Keep the access key away
from magnetic sources.
– Never leave the access key in direct sunlight or anywhere
that may become hot, such
as on the dashboard. It may
damage the battery or cause
circuit malfunctions.
– Do not wash the access key in
an ultrasonic washer.
– Do not leave the access key in
humid or dusty locations.
Doing so may cause malfunc-
tions.
– Do not leave the access key
near personal computers or
home electric appliances.
Doing so may cause the ac-
cess key to malfunction, re-
sulting in battery discharge.
. If the access key is dropped, the
integrated mechanical key inside
may become loose. Be careful
not to lose the mechanical key.
. When you carry the access key
on an airplane, do not press the
button of the access key while in
the airplane. When any button of
the access key is pressed, radio
waves are sent and may affect
the operation of the airplane.
When you carry the access key
in a bag on an airplane, take
measures to prevent the buttonsKeys and doors/Keyless access with push – button start system

NOTE . The operational/non-operational
setting for the keyless access function
can be changed. For the setting proce-
dure, refer to “ Disabling keyless ac-
cess function ” F 2-16. The setting can
also be changed by a SUBARU dealer.
For more details, contact a SUBARU
dealer.
. For detailed information about the
operation method for the push-button
ignition switch while the keyless ac-
cess function is switched to the non-
operational mode, refer to “ Access key
– if access key does not operate
properly ” F 9-16.
. The keyless access with push-but-
ton start system uses weak radio
waves. The status of the access key
and environmental conditions may in-
terfere with the communication be-
tween the access key and the vehicle
under the following conditions, and it
may not be possible to lock or unlock
the doors or start the engine.
– When operating near a facility
where strong radio waves are trans-
mitted, such as a broadcast station and power transmission lines
– When products that transmit
radio waves are used, such as an
access key or a remote transmitter
key of another vehicle
– When the access key is placed
near wireless communication
equipment such as a cell phone
– When the access key is placed
near a metallic object
– When metallic accessories are
attached to the access key
– When carrying the access key
with electronic appliances such as
a laptop computer
– When the battery of the access
key is discharged
. The access key is always commu-
nicating with the vehicle and is con-
tinuously using the battery. Although
the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, it is ap-
proximately 1 to 2 years. If the battery
becomes fully discharged, replace it
with a new one.
. If an access key is lost, it is
recommended that the remaining ac-
cess key be reregistered. For reregis-
tration of an access key, contact a
SUBARU dealer.
. For a spare access key, contact a
SUBARU dealer. . Up to 7 access keys can be regis-
tered for one vehicle.
. Carefully store the key number plate
supplied with the access key. It is
necessary for vehicle repair.
. Do not leave the access key in the
storage spaces inside the vehicle, such
as the door pocket, dashboard and the
rear shelf. Vibrations may damage the
key or turn on the switch, possibly
resulting in a lockout.
. After the vehicle battery is dis-
charged or replaced, initialization of
the steering lock system may be re-
quired to start the engine. In this case,
perform the following procedure to
initialize the steering lock.
(1) Turn the push-button ignition
switch to the “ OFF ” position. For
details, refer to “ Switching power ”
F 3-7.
(2) Open and close the driver ’ s
door.
(3) Wait for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
When the steering is locked, the initi-
alization is completed.2-12
