To protect your vehicle from theft,  
please pay close attention to the  
following 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.  
The immobilizer system is designed to  
prevent an unauthorized person from  
starting the engine. Only keys registered  
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can  
be used to operate your vehicle. If engine  
start is attempted with an unregistered  
access key fob or key, the engine will not  
start. Even if the engine does start, it will  
stop after a few seconds. This system,  
however, is not a 100% anti-theft guaran-  
tee.  
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.  
– Do not leave spare keys or any  
record of your key number in the  
vehicle.  
.
The vehicle has a maintenance-free  
type immobilizer system.  
For details about new key registration  
and erasing the lost key’s ID code,  
contact your SUBARU dealer.
