WARNING
Keep 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
functionIf 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.
ItemSwitch

*: The battery drainage prevention function
affects only the map lights on models with the
moonroof, and only when the map light switches
are in the OFF position. The map lights on
models without the moonroof do not turn off
automatically, so push the light switches manu-
ally to turn them off.
The operational/non-operational setting of
this function can be changed by a
SUBARU dealer. Contact your SUBARU
dealer to change the setting.
NOTE.The factory setting (default setting)
for this function is set as“operational”.

planted defibrillators.
If you wear electric medical equip-
ment other than an implanted pace-
maker or an implanted defibrillator,
before using the keyless access
with push-button start system, refer
to“Radio waves used for the key-
less access with push-button start
system”F2-9, and contact the elec-
tric medical equipment manufac-
turer for more information. The radio
waves from the transmitting anten-
nas on the vehicle could adversely
affect the operation of the electric
medical equipment.
NOTEThe status of the access key fob and
environmental conditions may interfere
with the communication between the
access key fob and the vehicle under
the following conditions.
.When you operate near a source of
strong radio waves or other interfer-
ence, such as a broadcast station or
power transmission lines
.When products that transmit radio
waves are used, such as an access key
fob or a remote transmitter key fob of
another vehicle.When you carry the access key fob
of your vehicle together with an access
key fob or a remote transmitter of
another vehicle
.When the access key fob is placed
near wireless communication equip-
ment such as a cell phone, or near a
metallic object
.When metallic accessories are at-
tached to the access key fob
.When you carry the access key fob
