. The keyless access with push-but-

waves. The status of the access key
and environmental conditions may in-
terfere with the communication be-
tween the access key and the vehicle
under the following conditions, and it
may not be possible to lock or unlock
the doors or start the engine.

where strong radio waves are trans-
mitted, such as a broadcast station
and power transmission lines
When products that transmit
radio waves are used, such as an
access key or a remote transmitter
key of another vehicle
When carrying the access key of
your vehicle together with an ac-
cess key or a remote transmitter of
another vehicle

attached to the access key

with electronic appliances such as
a laptop computer
When the battery of the access
key is discharged
. The access key is always commu-
nicating with the vehicle and is con-
tinuously using the battery. Although
the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, it is ap-
proximately 1 to 2 years. If the battery
becomes fully discharged, replace it
with a new one.
. If an access key is lost, it is
recommended that the remaining ac-
cess key be reregistered. For reregis-
tration of an access key, contact a
SUBARU dealer.

SUBARU dealer.

tered for one vehicle.

supplied with the access key. It is
necessary for vehicle repair.
. Do not leave the access key in the
storage spaces inside the vehicle, such
as the door pocket, dashboard and the
rear shelf. Vibrations may damage the
key or turn on the switch, possibly
resulting in a lockout.

charged or replaced, initialization of
the steering lock system may be re-
quired to start the engine. In this case,
perform the following procedure to
initialize the steering lock.
