Looking to understand the ins and outs of your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek’s anti-theft system? You’re in the right place. We’ll break down the key features that help keep your Crosstrek safe.
Understanding Your Crosstrek’s Security
Subaru equips the 2019 Crosstrek with a standard immobilizer system. This system is electronically coded to your specific Crosstrek’s key. Without the right key signal, the engine won’t start, deterring theft.
How Can I Tell if My Immobilizer is Active?
You’ll typically see a flashing security light on your dashboard when the immobilizer is armed. This light usually looks like a car with a key symbol or a padlock.

Beyond the Basics: Additional Security Options
While the standard immobilizer is a great first line of defense, you might want to bolster your Crosstrek’s security. Consider these options:
- Steering Wheel Locks: A classic visual deterrent that makes stealing your vehicle more difficult.
- Alarm Systems: Aftermarket alarms can provide audible and visual alerts if someone tampers with your Crosstrek.
- GPS Tracking: A GPS tracker can help you locate your vehicle if it’s stolen.
