Subaru Remote Start Capability
Subaru vehicles do have remote start capability using a key fob. This feature allows users to start their vehicle from a distance using the key fob. The remote start function can be used to cool down or warm up the interior before entering the vehicle, and it can also be used to defrost the windshield in cold weather. The remote start can be activated by pushing a button on the key fob, enabling the vehicle to start without the driver being inside it [[8]].

In summary, Subaru vehicles are equipped with a remote start feature that can be activated using a key fob, providing convenience and comfort for the driver in various weather conditions.
