In passive mode, the system will automatically
activate the alarm but WILL NOT automatically
lock the doors. In order to lock the doors you
must either lock them as indicated in step 4

closed. Failure to lock the doors manually will
result in a higher security risk.
! Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the “UNLOCK/
DISARM” button on the transmitter. " Tripped sensor identification
If an electronic chirp sounds four times and the turn
signal lights flash four times when you disarm the sys-
tem, this indicates that the alarm was triggered. The
number of times the indicator light flashes indicates
what sensor caused the alarm condition.
To enter identification mode:
1. Open the driver’s door and leave it open.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position twotimes. (“LOCK” → “ON” → “LOCK” → “ON” →
“LOCK”)
3. The indicator light will start flashing. The indicator light provides the following indications.
Flashing one time:
Any door, the rear gate or the
trunk lid has been opened.
Flashing three times: The impact sensor in the sys-
tem’s unit has been activated. This may indicate that
your vehicle has been shocked or tampered with by
some outside force and/or unauthorized person.
Flashing four times: The ignition switch has been
turned on or the battery has been disconnected.
NOTE
The battery must be reconnected before the indi-
cator light will flash.
To exit this mode, close the door and turn the ignition
switch to the “ON” position.

When the actual ambient temperature falls outside
the specified gauge range. REV indicator light and buzzer (WRX-
STi)
The REV alarm system issues a warning using the
REV indicator light (and a buzzer if additionally select-
ed) when the engine speed reaches a level previously
set using the REV setting knob.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition switch is in
the “LOCK” position, the ambient temperature gauge
will show the engine speed that has already been set.
NOTE
Even if the REV alarm system is not set, the REV
indicator light will come on whenever the engine

speed enters the tachometer’s red zone. !Setting the alarm-level engine speed
1. Turn the REV setting knob clockwise or counter-
clockwise, then release it and let it return to its initial
position. The buzzer will sound. The REV alarm sys-
tem is now ready to be set.
2. Turn the REV setting knob to select the desired
alarm-level engine speed.
At this time, the ambient temperature gauge will show
the engine-speed setting. "Counterclockwise ( −) for less than 0.5 second:
Speed setting changes downward by 100 rpm. "
Clockwise (+) for less than 0.5 second: Speed
setting changes upward by 100 rpm." Counterclockwise ( −) for 0.5 second or longer:
Speed setting changes downward by 1,000 rpm. " Clockwise (+) for 0.5 second or longer: Speed
setting changes upward by 1,000 rpm.
The speed setting will stop changing if it reaches 0
rpm or the maximum engine speed.

The alarm-level engine speed can be set (in 100 rpm
steps) within a range from 2000 rpm to 7500 rpm.
The indicator shows the setting as follows:
Approximately three seconds after you stop turning
the knob, the REV alarm system will automatically en-
ter its next setting mode (step 3 below), in which you
can enable or disable the buzzer.
3. Enable or disable the buzzer as desired using the REV setting knob. "Turn the knob clockwise (+) to enable the buzzer.
The indicator will show “ON”, and the buzzer will
sound three times. With the buzzer enabled, en-

gine-speed warnings are given by both the REV in-
dicator light and the buzzer. "
Turn the knob counterclockwise ( −) to disable the
buzzer. The indicator will show “– –”, and the buzzer
will not sound. With the buzzer disabled, engine-
speed warnings are given only by the REV indicator
light.
Approximately three seconds after you stop turning
the knob, the buzzer will sound once to indicate the
end of the setting procedure. The indicator will return
to showing the ambient temperature.
Also, the tachometer needle will return to approxi- mately “0”.
NOTE " The REV alarm system does not operate while
settings are being entered. " The speed-setting mode terminates if 0 rpm is
selected." The speed-setting mode is canceled if the igni-
tion switch is turned to OFF or the vehicle starts
moving before the setting procedure is finished. " Speed setting is impossible when the vehicle is
moving. " The set engine speed may differ from the engine
speed shown by the tachometer. Use the engine
speed shown by the tachometer as a rough guide. !
Deactivating the REV alarm system
To deactivate the REV alarm system’s REV indicator
light and buzzer functions, set the alarm-level engine
speed to 0 (zero) rpm.
