- Push-button ignition switch
The power status is switched every time the push-button ignition switch is pressed.
1. Carry the access key, and sit in the driver's seat.

When the engine is stopped and the push-button ignition switch is in "ACC" or "ON", the operation indicator on the push-button ignition switch illuminates in orange.

| OFF | Turned off | Power is turned off. |
| ACC | Orange | The following systems can be used: audio and accessory power outlet. |
| ON | Orange (while engine is stopped) | All electrical systems can be used. |

CAUTION
To prevent the vehicle battery from discharging, do not leave the push-button ignition switch in the "ON" or "ACC" position for a long time.
To avoid a malfunction, observe the following precautions.
- Do not spill drinks or other liquids on the push-button ignition switch.
- Do not touch the push-button ignition switch with a hand that is soiled with oil or other contaminants.
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.
If the vehicle was left in the hot sun for a long time, the surface of the push-button ignition switch may get hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
NOTE
- When operating the push-button ignition switch, firmly press it all the way.
- If the push-button ignition switch is pressed quickly, the power may not turn on or off.
- If the indicator light on the pushbutton ignition switch flashes in green when the push-button ignition switch is pressed, steering is locked. When this occurs, press the push-button ignition switch while turning the steering wheel left and right.
Battery drainage prevention function
When the push-button ignition switch is left in the "ACC" or "ON" position for approximately 1 hour, the push-button ignition switch will be automatically switched to "OFF" to prevent the battery from going dead. This function is activated when the select lever is in the "P" position.
