Subaru Forester: Maintenance and service / Replacing key battery
The access key fob/transmitter battery
may be discharged under the following
conditions.
- The operation of the keyless access
function is unstable.
- The operating distance of the remote
keyless entry system is unstable.
- The transmitter does not operate properly
when used within the standard distance.
Replace the battery with a new one.
CAUTION
Do not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the access key fob/transmitter

Before replacing the battery, remove
any static electricity...
Other information:
For easy access to the ignition switch in
the dark, the ignition switch light illuminates
when the driver’s door is opened or
when the driver’s door is unlocked using
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The light remains illuminated for several
tens of seconds and then gradually turns
off under the following conditions...
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are designed as follows:
To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe side impact
collision
To function on a one-time-only basis
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are not designed to deploy in the
following cases:
In most lesser side impacts
In most frontal or most rear impacts
(because the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deployment would not protect
the occupant in those situations)
The SRS curtain airbags are also designed
to deploy when the vehicle is in an
extremely inclined state such as during a
rollover...
