8. Pull the upper tether belt straight up to secure the
child restraint system firmly by taking up the slack in
the belt.
9. Put the loose end of the tether belts behind the seatback.
10.Before seating a child in the child restraint system,
try to move seatback and forth and left and right to ver-
ify that it is held securely in position.
11.To remove the child restraint system, follow the re-
verse procedures of installation.
If you have any question concerning proper child re-
straint system installation, ask your SUBARU dealer. „
Installing a booster seat
yChild restraint systems and seatbelts can be-
come hot in a vehicle that has been closed up
in sunny weather; they could burn a small child.
Check the child restraint system before you
place a child in it. y Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
system in your vehicle. Unsecured child re-
straint systems can be thrown around inside of
the vehicle in a sudden stop, turn or accident; it
can strike and injure vehicle occupants as well
as result in serious injuries or death to the
child.
When you install a child restraint system, fol-
low the manufacturer’s instructions supplied
with it. After installing the child restraint sys-
tem, check to ensure that it is held securely in
position. If it is not held tight and secure, the
danger of your child suffering personal injury in

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
– CONTINUED –
Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat
properly restrained at all times. The SRS airbag
deploys with considerable speed and force and
can injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and are not
restrained or improperly restrained. Because
children are lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from deployment is
greater.
For that reason, we strongly recommend that
ALL children (including those in child seats and
those that have outgrown child restraint devic- es) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at
all times in a child restraint device or in a seat-
belt, whichever is appropriate for the child’s
age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (in-
cluding forward facing child seats) in the REAR
seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seat-
ing positions than in the front seating posi- tions.
For instructions and precautions concerning
the child restraint system, see the “Child re-
straint systems” section in this chapter.y
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO
CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG. y Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on
the front passenger’s seat, or never hold a child
on your lap or in your arms. The SRS airbag de-
ploys with considerable force and can injure or
even kill the child.

yDo not expose the transmitter to severe
shocks, such as those experienced as a result
of dropping or throwing. y Do not take the transmitter apart except when
replacing the battery. y Do not get the transmitter wet. If it gets wet,
wipe it dry with a cloth immediately.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Oper-
ation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Two transmitters are provided for your vehicle.
The keyless entry system has the following functions. y
Locking and unlocking the doors without a key
y Sounding a panic alarm
y Arming and disarming the security system (if your
vehicle is equipped with an optional security system).
See the next section “Security system (if equipped)”
for detailed information.
The operable distance of the keyless entry system is
approximately 30 feet (10 meters). However, this dis-
tance will vary depending on environmental condi-
tions. The system’s operable distance will be shorter
in areas near a facility or electronic equipment emitting
strong radio waves such as a power plant, broadcast
station, TV tower, or remote controller of home elec-
tronic appliances.
The keyless entry system does not operate when the
key is inserted in the ignition switch.

LOCK/DISARM” button six times to synchronize
the unit. „ Replacing lost transmitters
If you lose a transmitter or want to purchase additional
transmitters (up to four can be programmed), you
should re-program all of your transmitters for security
reasons. It is recommended that you have your dealer
program all of your transmitters into your system. T Programming the transmitters
The keyless entry system is equipped with a special
code learning feature that allows you to program new
transmitter codes into the system or to delete old
ones. The system can learn up to four unique transmit-
ter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the
same or different. To enter the programming mode:0
1. Press “UNLOCK/DISARM” button to disarm the se-
curity system. (if your vehicle is equipped with the op-
tional security system.)

system has exited the programming mode.
2. Make sure that the keyless entry system properly
operates by operating each transmitter. T
Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry system has four
memory locations to store transmitter codes, giving it
the ability to operate with up to four transmitters. When
you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitter’s code re-
mains in the memory. For security reasons, lost trans-
mitter codes should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four trans-
mitter codes into the system. If you have only one cur-
rent transmitter, program it four times. If you have two
current transmitters, program each one twice. If you
have three current transmitters, program two of them
once and the third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in the system’s memo- ry.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating their keyless
entry system within range of your vehicle when
programming transmitters. If someone else were
to operate their remote transmitter while you are
programming your transmitters, it is possible that
their transmitter code will be programmed into
your system, allowing them unauthorized access to your vehicle.

Security system (if equipped)
The security system helps to protect your vehicle and
valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the turn
signal lights flash if someone attempts to break into
your vehicle. The starter motor is also interrupted to
prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed with the re-
mote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the key is inserted
into the ignition switch. „System operation
The security system will give the following alarm indi-
cations when triggered: y The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor will
not operate. y The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again. The alarm will continue for six times
if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: y Opening a door.
y Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g. breaking glass or forced entry). Note that there are two
alarm levels for shock: warning and alarm. In warning
mode, the alarm detects lower level vibrations and
triggers 2 warning chirps on the horn and two flashes
on the lights as a deterrent to would be vandals. In
alarm mode, higher levels of shock are detected and
the system will go into full alarm. y
Ignition switch being turned on while in armed state.
NOTE yThe alarm will not be triggered by opening the
switchback door. y The alarm may not be triggered when the win-
dow is broken with a sharp-edged tool. y With the valet mode selected, the security sys-
tem does not operate and the turn signal lights do
not flash when the remote transmitter is used for
locking and unlocking.
The security system indicator light in the combi-
nation meter flashes twice per second to show
that the valet mode is selected.
For details, refer to “Valet mode” in this section. „ Arming the system
