Keyless Entry

Many Subaru Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, WRX, WRX STI, Impreza, and Legacy owners can enjoy keyless entry and push-button start as an added benefit. This technology is designed to give you peace of mind, regardless of whether you wish to store your keys safely or are worried that someone might attempt to steal your vehicle.

It's really simple. A sensor within the vehicle detects a radio signal coming from your key fob when it's in the range of the sensor. If the signal is genuine, the car will be locked and unlocked whenever it is required.

You can also limit the operation of the trunk and doors with the key fob by changing the keyless entry setting on the multi-function display (models equipped with "keyless entry system with push-button"). Consult your SUBARU dealer for details.

Despite the fact that you require the physical key or key fob to start your Subaru, keyless entry allows you to get in and out of your vehicle easier. This feature lets you lock your Subaru prior to going running or mountain biking, or kayaking without having to worry that someone will find it and drive away in the vehicle. It's also a great option for those who don't like carrying around a lot of keys when out camping or hiking, because the key fob will unlock your trunk and open your door in just one click.

Remote Start

No matter how you manage it, the engine will only run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes before shutting down automatically. Once the vehicle has been started you can open the doors with your key fob and leave.

You can also pre-heat the inside of your car before you enter, in case of an icy winter day. Once you're all wrapped up and ready to go skiing you can press the fob button and the Car Keys will be warm. When you return to your car after an afternoon of skiing, you'll find it warm and comfortable. In addition, you won't need to scrape the ice off of your windshield! Make sure you ensure that you lock your car after driving so someone else doesn't accidentally drive away with it running.
