Subaru Forester: Access key fob – if access key fob does not operate properly / Switching power status

1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Shift the select lever to the “P” (Park) position.
3. Depress the brake pedal.

   

4. Hold the access key fob with the buttons facing you, and touch the pushbutton ignition switch with it.

   When the communication between the access key fob and the vehicle is completed, a chime (ding) will sound. At the same time, the status of the push-button ignition switch changes to either of the following.

   • When the keyless access with pushbutton start system is deactivated: “ACC”

   • Under other conditions: “ON”

5. When the keyless access with pushbutton start system is deactivated, press the push-button ignition switch with the brake pedal released. The status of the push-button ignition switch then changes to “ON”.

   NOTE

   If the power does not switch even though the above procedure was followed precisely, contact your SUBARU dealer.
