Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Entering the vehicle while it is running via remote start

1. Unlock the vehicle doors using the keyless access function (if equipped) or remote keyless entry system. If the vehicle's doors are unlocked manually using the key, the vehicle's alarm system will trigger (if the alarm system is armed prior to activating the remote engine start system) and the engine will turn off.

Perform either of the following procedures to disarm the alarm system. Refer to "Alarm system" F2-26.

• Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the "ON" position (models without "keyless access with pushbutton start system")
• Turn the push-button ignition switch to the "ACC" or "ON" position (models with "keyless access with push-button start system")
• Press any button on the access key/ remote keyless entry transmitter.

2. Enter the vehicle.

3. The engine will shut down when any door or the rear gate is opened.

4. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn to the "START" position to restart the engine.

Entering the vehicle following remote engine start shutdown

An alarm trigger may occur if the vehicle is opened by the remote keyless entry transmitter within a few seconds immediately following remote engine start shutdown.

Pre-heating or pre-cooling the interior of the vehicle

Before exiting the vehicle, set the temperature controls to the desired setting and operation. After the system starts the engine, the heater or air conditioning will activate and heat or cool the interior to your setting.
