To avoid a malfunction, observe the following precautions.
If the push-button ignition switch does not operate smoothly, stop the operation. Contact a SUBARU dealer immediately.
If the push-button ignition switch does not illuminate even when the instrument panel illumination is turned on, have the vehicle inspected at a SUBARU dealer.
