Turn to FIRST CLICK / POSITION. THIS IS THE ACC POSITION.
The second position is everything is on, and will run your battery down. The second position is where the key returns to after you release it after starting the engine.
The first position is called the acc position because it allows you to turn on radio, ect. But the car itself is not powered up.
The FIRST ACC position is where you want it to be. This unlocks the steering gear so the front wheels will turn and track with the rv.

I recently returned from my first trip (350 miles) towing a 2013 Crosstrek. I used the valet key in the first (ACC position). I was planning on using my other โchippedโ key to lock the car doors, but the they would not lock with the valet key in use.
Nonetheless, the car towed very well without any problems using a Ready Brute Elite tow bar and braking system with a 2011 Sunseeker 2300. The stick-shift Crosstrek is a good choice for a toad if some moderate off-road driving is planned. It has a ground clearance similar to that of a Jeep.

Miller, we also tow a 2013 Subi Crosstrek. Towed it about 5000 miles so far with no problems at all.
The procedure for towing is...
Trans in neutral.
Emergency brake off.
Key in the ignition, turned to the FIRST position. This unlocks the steering but does not power the car up.
Thats it, your set to go. No fuses to pull and there is no restriction as to speed or distance you can tow.
I keep the main key on the same ring that the motorhome key is on and use the spare Subi key in the ignition when towing.
For info, I'm very fimilar with Subie's--the XV is my 3 rd and wife is on her 3 rd Outback. Great little suv's and wagons. Can't beat em for relibility and long term use.
