Subaru Ascent 2018-2026 Owner's Manual: Remote engine start system (dealer option)

WARNING

• Before using the remote engine start feature on the Subaru Ascent, always review and understand all safety precautions related to engine starting.

  Proper use of the system is essential to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.

• Never activate the Subaru Ascent remote engine start system in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas such as a closed garage.

  Running the engine in such conditions can lead to a dangerous accumulation of carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause serious health effects, including dizziness, unconsciousness, or even death.

The Subaru Ascent remote engine start system allows the engine to be started from outside the vehicle using a dedicated transmitter. This feature enhances convenience, especially in extreme weather conditions.

Additionally, the system can automatically activate the climate control functions in the Subaru Ascent, such as the heater or air conditioning, ensuring that the cabin reaches a comfortable temperature before you enter the vehicle.

• The allowable engine idle time when using the Subaru Ascent remote start system may be regulated by local laws. Always verify and comply with regional requirements.
• When servicing your Subaru Ascent, inform technicians that the vehicle is equipped with a remote engine start system to avoid unintended activation.
