Keys and doors/Keyless access with push–button start system
access key is detected.
. If the access key is placed too close to
the vehicle body, the keyless access
function may not operate properly. If it
does 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 func-
tion may not operate properly.
. When the access key is within the
operating range, it is possible for anyone,
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 sensor or trunk lid opener button
in the operating range in which the access
key is detected.
. It is not possible to lock the doors 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 wire-
less equipment is used), or while talking
on a cell phone, the operating ranges may
be reduced, or the keyless access func-
tion may not operate.
In such a case, perform the procedure
described in Locking and unlocking F9-
17.
. 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.
. The keyless access function may not
operate properly depending on the status
of the access key and the radio wave
conditions around the vehicle. In such a
case, perform the procedure described in
Locking and unlocking F9-17.

! Keyless access function tips
. When you lock the doors using the
keyless access function, turn the push-
button ignition switch off. It is not possible
to lock the doors using the keyless access
function when the push-button ignition
switch is on the ACC or ON position.
Refer to Switching power status F3-7.
. If the door handle is gripped or the door
lock sensor is touched with a gloved hand,
the door lock may not be operated.
. When performing the locking proce-
dure too quickly, locking may not have
been completed. After locking the doors, it
is recommended to pull the REAR door
handles to confirm that the doors have
been locked.
. It is not possible to lock the doors when
one of the doors is open. Close all of the
doors and lock the doors.
. Within 3 seconds after locking the
doors by using the keyless access func-
tion, it is not possible to unlock the doors
by using the keyless access function.
. When locking, be sure to carry the
access key to prevent locking the access

flasher operation and the volume of the
audible signal can be changed by your
SUBARU dealer. We recommend that you
contact your SUBARU dealer for details.

flasher operation can also be changed
by operating the multi function display. For
details, refer to Hazard warning flasher
