Does Subaru Legacy have anti theft?

Yes, the Subaru Legacy comes equipped with several anti-theft features to help protect your vehicle from theft. These features include an engine immobilizer, a security system, and an optional vehicle tracking system.


Engine Immobilizer


The Subaru Legacy comes standard with an engine immobilizer, which is an electronic security device that prevents the engine from starting unless the correct key is used. This helps to deter would-be thieves from attempting to start the vehicle without the proper key.


Security System


The Subaru Legacy also features a security system that includes sensors to detect any unauthorized entry into the vehicle. If the system is armed and detects a break-in, it will sound the vehicle's alarm to alert nearby people and potentially scare off the intruder.


Vehicle Tracking System


In addition to the standard anti-theft features, the Subaru Legacy can be equipped with an optional vehicle tracking system. This system uses GPS technology to monitor the vehicle's location and can help law enforcement recover the vehicle if it is stolen.



  • The engine immobilizer prevents the engine from starting without the correct key.

  • The security system sounds an alarm if the vehicle is tampered with while armed.

  • The optional vehicle tracking system uses GPS to help locate the vehicle if it is stolen.


Overall, the Subaru Legacy comes equipped with a range of anti-theft features to help protect your vehicle from theft and provide peace of mind for owners.
