Immobilizer
2-2. Immobilizer
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the hybrid system. Only keys
registered with your vehicle's immobilizer
system can be used to operate your
vehicle. If the hybrid system start is
attempted with an unregistered access
key fob, the hybrid system will not start.
Even if the hybrid system does start, it will
stop after a few seconds. This system,
however, is not a 100% anti-theft guaran-
tee.
CAUTION
. Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may be-
come hot.
. Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.
. Do not modify or remove the
system. If modified or removed,
the proper operation of the sys-
tem cannot be guaranteed.
NOTE
. To protect your vehicle from theft,
please pay close attention to the follow-
ing security precautions:
– Never leave your vehicle unat-
tended with its keys inside.
– Before leaving your vehicle,
close all windows and the moon-
roof, and lock the doors and rear
gate.
– Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in the
vehicle.
. The vehicle has a maintenance-free
type immobilizer system.
& Security indicator light
Refer to "Security indicator light" FP212.
& Key replacement
Your key number plate will be required if
you ever need a replacement key made.
Any new key must be registered for use
with your vehicle's immobilizer system
before it can be used. You can register a
maximum of seven access key fobs.
One key that has already been registered
is required in order to register a new key.
NOTE
If you lose a key, the lost key's ID code
still remains in the memory of the
vehicle's immobilizer system. For se-
curity reasons, the lost key's ID code
should be erased from the memory. To
erase the lost key's ID code, all keys
that will be used are required.
For details about new key registration
and erasing the lost key's ID code,
contact your SUBARU dealer.
& Certification for immobilizer
system
Refer to "Certification for keyless access
with push-button start system" FP164.
