Which Subaru models have pin code access?

Subaru, the renowned Japanese automaker, offers select models with a convenient pin code access feature. This allows drivers to unlock their vehicle without the need for a physical key, providing an added layer of security and convenience.


Subaru Models with Pin Code Access


The Subaru models that currently feature pin code access are:



  • Subaru Outback

  • Subaru Ascent

  • Subaru Impreza

  • Subaru Legacy

  • Subaru Crosstrek


This feature, known as the Subaru Keyless Access with Push-Button Start system, enables drivers to unlock their vehicle by entering a personalized 4-digit code on the door's keypad. This can be particularly useful in situations where the driver doesn't have their key fob on hand, such as when going for a run or leaving the vehicle with a valet.


How to Use Pin Code Access in Subaru Vehicles


To use the pin code access feature in a Subaru vehicle, follow these steps:



  1. Locate the keypad on the driver's side door handle.

  2. Enter your personalized 4-digit code on the keypad.

  3. The door will unlock, allowing you to enter the vehicle.

  4. Once inside, press the start button to begin your journey.


It's important to note that the pin code access feature is not available on all Subaru models and may be limited to certain trim levels or packages. Customers should check with their local Subaru dealer for more information on the availability and compatibility of this feature in their desired Subaru model.
