Keys and doors/Keyless access with push–button start system (Outback – if equipped)
1) LED indicator
When the access key is within either of the
operating ranges of the front doors, the
LED indicator on the access key flashes.
When the keyless access functions are
disabled, the LED indicator does not flash
unless a button on the access key is
pressed.
NOTE
. Locking by using the keyless ac-
cess function can be operated only by
the door lock button in the operating
range in which the access key is
detected.
. Unlocking by using the keyless
access function can be operated only
by the door handle in the operating
range in which the access key is
detected.
. If the access key is placed too close
to the vehicle body, the keyless access
functions may not operate properly. If
they do not operate properly, repeat the
operation from further away.
. If the access key is placed near the
ground or in an elevated location from
the ground, even if it is in the indicated
operating range, the keyless access
function may not operate properly.
. When the access key is within the
operating range, it is possible for any-
one, even someone who is not carrying
the access key, to operate the keyless
access function. Note that locking and
unlocking can be operated only by the
door handle, door lock button, rear
gate opener button or rear lock button
in the operating range in which the
access key is detected.
. It is not possible to lock the doors
and rear gate using the keyless access
function when the access key is inside
the vehicle. However, depending on the
status of the access key and the
environmental conditions, the access
key may be locked inside the vehicle.
Before locking, make sure that you
have the access key.
. When the battery of the access key
is discharged, or when operating it in a
location with strong radio waves or
noise (e.g., near a radio tower, power
plant, broadcast station or an area
where wireless equipment is used), or
while talking on a cell phone, the
operating ranges may be reduced, or
the keyless access function may not
operate.
In such a case, perform the procedure
described in "Locking and unlocking"
F9-20.
. When an access key is in the
operating range, if the door handle
becomes wet due to exposure to a
significant amount of water when the
vehicle is washed or during heavy rain,
the doors may be locked or unlocked.
. If the door handle is gripped with a
gloved hand, the door lock may not be
released.
