Hi guys,

I am new here and have just bought an impreza gb270 (2007 model) this weekend but have noticed something funny that I cant get my head around.

Car fires up first time without any issues every time, but after firing the car up and then switching it off from the ignition but not equipping the alarm (i.e. I am still in it as I have temporarily parked up for example) if I want to restart the car from the ignition it doesnt fire up. I need to first lock the car from the alarm button first then unlock and only then does it start up once the key is in the ignition.

Is this normal on subarus or does anyone have any kind wisdom on this?

Regards
Zak

You know it has an immobiliser that auto engages after a set period of time right?

Next time this happens turn the key round as if you are starting - so the key is in the 'on' position. Then press the alarm button. This will disable the immobiliser. Then turn key to start.
