I love this '5 Hidden Subaru features article.' Our salesperson had no clue. She did not explain these features or even know of the Key Fob lock-out feature that saves the Fob battery when it is not currently in use. This feature is important to us as our keys are stored within 10' of our '21 Crosstrek. As I read this article, I expected this feature to be one of the five. To activate this Fob battery-saving lockout feature, I'm sure you know that the procedure is to hold the lock button on the Fob and then press the unlock button twice. The confirmation is four upper left side Fob light blinks. To cancel, unlock the vehicle with the fob. Note, sometimes you can perform this battery-saving lock-out without locking the doors. I am not sure how or why the doors don't lock every time with this procedure. For the first two weeks and before reading the entire Owner's Manual our Salesperson suggested placing our Key Fobs in a metal can to help save Fob battery life. I don't think she knows about this valuable Fob battery-saving feature.
