Keys and doors

Immobilizer indicator
light

The immobilizer indicator light deters
potential thieves by indicating that the
vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer
system. It begins flashing approximately
60 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the

“

ON

”

position to the

“

Acc

”

or

“

LOCK

”

position or immediately after

the key is pulled out.
If the immobilizer indicator light does not
flash, the immobilizer system may be
faulty. If this occurs, we recommend that
you contact your SUBARU dealer as soon
as possible.

In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g.
an imitation key), the immobilizer indicator
light illuminates.

NOTE

Even if the immobilizer indicator light
flashes irregularly or its fuse blows (the
light does not flash if its fuse is blown),
the immobilizer system will function
normally.

&

Key replacement

Your key number plate and security ID
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.
Up to four keys can be registered for use
with one vehicle.
For security, all the keys registered with
your vehicle

’

s immobilizer system will

have their ID codes erased and re-
registered when a new key is made.
Therefore, all of your vehicle

’

s keys must

be presented when a new key is regis-
tered. Any key that is not re-registered
when a new key is made cannot be used
after the other keys are re-registered. For
information on replacement keys and on
the registration of keys with your immo-
bilizer system, we recommend that you
contact your SUBARU dealer.

Door locks
