Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Lock

The key can only be inserted or removed in this position. The ignition switch will lock the steering wheel when you remove the key.

If turning the key is difficult, turn the steering wheel slightly to the right and left as you turn the key.

The key can be turned from the "ACC" to "LOCK" position only when the select lever is in the "P" position (CVT models) and the key is pushed in while turning it (all models).

ACC

In this position the electrical accessories (audio, accessory power outlet, etc.) can be used.

ON

This is the normal operating position after the engine is started.

START

The engine is started in this position. The starter cranks the engine to start it. When the key is released (after the engine has started), the key automatically returns to the "ON" position.

CAUTION

Do not turn the ignition switch to the "START" position while the engine is running.

If your registered key fails to start the engine, pull out the key once (the security indicator light will blink), and then insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the "START" position and again try to start the engine.

NOTE

The engine may not start in the following cases:

• The key grip is touching another key or a metallic key holder.

• The key is near another key that contains an immobilizer transponder.
• The key is near or touching another transmitter.
