An emergency key is attached to each
access key fob. The emergency key is
used for the following operations.
.Locking and unlocking the driver’s door
.Locking and unlocking the glove box
You cannot unlock the glove box without

key.
CAUTION
If the access key fob is dropped, the
integrated emergency key inside
may become loose. Be careful not
to lose the emergency key.NOTE.The access key fob is always com-
municating with the vehicle and is
continuously using the battery.
Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions,
it is approximately 1 to 2 years. If the
battery becomes fully discharged, re-
place it with a new one.
.If an access key fob is lost, it is
recommended that the remaining ac-
cess key fobs be reregistered. For
reregistration of an access key fob,
contact a SUBARU dealer.
.Up to 7 access key fobs can be
registered for one vehicle. For a spare
access key fob, contact a SUBARU
dealer.
.Do not leave the access key fob in
the storage spaces inside the vehicle.
Vibrations can damage the key or turn
on the switch, possibly resulting in alockout.
&Key number plate
CAUTION
Carefully store the key number
plate. It is necessary for vehicle
repair and additional registration of
access key fobs.
The key number is stamped on the key
number plate attached to the key set. Write
down the key number and keep it in
another safe place, not in the vehicle. This
number is needed to make a replacement
key if you lose your key or lock it inside the

operation that follows the 6-second
warning after turning ON the ignition
switch. When the ignition switch is
turned ON next time, however, the
complete sequence of the warning
operation resumes. For further details
about canceling the warning operation,
please contact your SUBARU dealer.
If there is no passenger on the front
passenger’s seat, the seatbelt warning
device for the front passenger’s seat will
be deactivated. The front passenger’s
occupant detection system monitors
whether or not there is a passenger on
the front passenger’s seat.
Observe the following precautions. Failure
to do so may prevent the device from
functioning correctly or cause the device to
fail.
.Do not install any accessory such as a
table or TV onto the seatback.
.Do not store a heavy load in the
seatback pocket.
.Do not allow the rear seat occupant to
place his/her hands or legs on the front
passenger’s seatback, or allow him/her to
pull the seatback.
.Do not use front seats with their back-
ward-forward position and seatback not
being locked into place securely. If any of
them are not locked securely, adjust themagain. For adjusting procedure, refer to
“Front seats”F1-2.
If the seatbelt warning device for the front
passenger’s seat does not function cor-
rectly (e.g., it is activated even when the
front passenger’s seat is empty or it is
deactivated even when the front passen-
ger has not fastened his/her seatbelt), take
the following actions.
.Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than a child restraint system and
its child occupant, although we strongly
recommend that all children sit in the rear
seat properly restrained.
.Ensure that there is no article left in the
seatback pocket.
.Ensure that the backward-forward po-
sition and seatback of front passenger’s
seat are locked into place securely by
moving the seat back and forth.
If still the seatbelt warning device for front
passenger’s seat does not function cor-
rectly after taking relevant corrective ac-
tions described above, immediately con-
tact your SUBARU dealer for an inspec-
tion.
&SRS airbag system
warning lightFor details about the SRS airbag system
warning light, refer to“SRS airbag system
monitors”F1-62.
WARNING
If the warning light exhibits any of
the following conditions, there may
be a malfunction in the seatbelt
pretensioners and/or SRS airbag
system.
.Flashing or flickering of the warn-
ing light
.No illumination of the warning
light when the ignition switch is
first turned to the“ON”position
.Continuous illumination of the
warning light
.Illumination of the warning light
while driving
Immediately take your vehicle to
your nearest SUBARU dealer to
have the system checked. Unless
checked and properly repaired, the
seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS
airbag will not operate properly in
the event of a collision, which may
increase the risk of injury.

damage and a fast leak that causes
the tire to lose air rapidly. If you have
a flat tire, refer to“Flat tires”F9-5.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the Low tire pres-
sure warning light will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible
for tire and sensor replacement and/
or system resetting.
If the light illuminates steadily after
blinking for approximately one min-
ute, promptly contact a SUBARU
dealer to have the system inspected.
CAUTION
The tire pressure monitoring system
is NOT a substitute for manually
checking tire pressure. The tire
pressure should be checked peri-
odically (at least monthly) using a
tire gauge. After any change to tire
pressure(s), the tire pressure mon-
itoring system will not re-check tire
inflation pressures until the vehicleis first driven to a vehicle speed of at
least 20 mph (32 km/h). After adjust-
ing the tire pressures, increase the
vehicle speed to at least 20 mph (32
km/h) to start the TPMS re-checking
of the tire inflation pressures. If the
tire pressures are now above the
severe low pressure threshold, the
low tire pressure warning light
should turn off a few minutes later.
Therefore, be sure to install the
specified size for the front and rear
tires.
&ABS warning light
CAUTION
.If any of the following conditions
occur, we recommend that you
have the ABS system repaired at
the first available opportunity by
your SUBARU dealer.
–The warning light does not
illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to the“ON”
position.
–The warning light illuminates
when the ignition switch is
turned to the“ON”position,
but it does not turn off evenafter starting the vehicle.
–The warning light illuminates
while driving.
.When the warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is
off), the ABS function shuts
down. However, the conventional
brake system continues to oper-
ate normally.
The ABS warning light illuminates together
with the brake system warning light if the
EBD system malfunctions. For further
details of the EBD system malfunction
warning, refer to“Brake system warning
light”F3-21.
NOTEIf the warning light behavior is as
described in the following conditions,
the ABS system may be considered
normal.
.The warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”
position and turns off approximately 2
seconds after the engine has started.
.The warning light illuminates right
after the engine is started but turns off
immediately, remaining off.
.The warning light remains illumi-
nated after the engine has been started,
but it turns off while driving.
