Subaru Forester: Keys and doors / Immobilizer
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 guarantee.
CAUTION
- Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may become
hot.
- Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.
- Do not modify or remove the
system. If modified or removed,
the proper operation of the system
cannot be guaranteed.
NOTE
- To protect your vehicle from theft,
please pay close attention to the following
security precautions:
- Never leave your vehicle unattended
with its keys inside.
- Before leaving your vehicle,
close all windows and the moonroof,
and lock the doors and rear
gate.
- Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in the
vehicle.
- The vehicle has a maintenance-free
type immobilizer system.
Your key number 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...
