How to remote start a 2018 Subaru Legacy?

Remote starting your 2018 Subaru Legacy is a convenient feature that allows you to warm up your car or cool it down before you get in. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to remote start your Subaru Legacy.


Prerequisites



  • Your Subaru Legacy must be equipped with a remote start system. This feature was optional on some 2018 Subaru Legacy models.

  • You'll need the factory-issued remote control that came with your vehicle.

  • Make sure your Subaru Legacy is in park and the parking brake is engaged.


With these prerequisites in place, you're ready to remote start your 2018 Subaru Legacy.


Steps to Remote Start Your Subaru Legacy



  1. Locate the remote start button on your factory-issued remote control. It's typically a separate button from the lock and unlock buttons.

  2. Press and hold the remote start button for 2-3 seconds. You should see the parking lights on your Subaru Legacy flash to indicate the remote start has been activated.

  3. Your Subaru Legacy's engine will now start and run for a pre-set duration, typically 5-15 minutes, to allow the cabin to reach your desired temperature.

  4. To cancel the remote start, simply press the remote start button again or unlock the doors with your key fob.


That's all there is to it! Remote starting your 2018 Subaru Legacy is a simple process that can make your commute more comfortable, especially on cold winter mornings.
