The alarm system is triggered when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position during sur-
veillance. However, this does not occur if the vehi-
cle is equipped with an immobilizer and the key
used for turning the ignition switch has been reg-
istered. " If your vehicle is not equipped with an immobi-
lizer, the engine does not start even when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “START” position once
the alarm system has been triggered. ! Disarming the system
Briefly press the “ ” button (for less than two sec-
onds) on the remote transmitter. The driver’s door will
unlock, an electronic chirp will sound twice, the turn
signal lights will flash twice and the indicator light will
go off.
To unlock all other doors and the rear gate (Station
wagon), briefly press the “ ” button a second time.
NOTE
If the interval between the first and second press-
es of the “ ” button (for unlocking of all of the
doors and the rear gate) is extremely short, the
system may not respond.
Or the system can be disarmed by the following method, too. "
Insert the key in the door lock of the driver’s
door and turn it to the unlock position." Cycle the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the
“ON” position three times within 5 seconds (only
vehicle without immobilizer). ! Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the transmitter
(i.e. the transmitter is lost, broken or the transmitter
battery is too weak), you can disarm the system with-
out using the transmitter.
Vehicle with immobilizer
The system can be disarmed if you turn the ignition
switch from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position with a reg-
istered key.
Vehicle without immobilizer
1. Unlock the door with the key and then open the
door.
2. Insert the key into the ignition switch and cycle it
from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position three times with-
in 5 seconds .
All models
Insert the key in the door lock of the driver’s door and
turn it to the unlock position.

!Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the alarm system
does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmit-
ter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors
and rear gate (Station wagon) and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the setting of your ve-
hicle’s alarm system for deactivation mode. (Refer to
“Activating and deactivating the alarm system” in this
section.) The security indicator light will continue to
flash once every three seconds indicating that the sys-
tem is in the valet mode (only vehicle with an immobi- lizer).
To exit valet mode, change the setting of your vehi-
cle’s alarm system for activation mode. (Refer to “Ac-
tivating and deactivating the alarm system” in this sec- tion.)
NOTE
If your vehicle is not equipped with an immobiliz-
er, the security indicator light does not flash dur-
ing the valet mode. ! Passive arming
When passive arming mode has been programmed by
the dealer, arming of the system is automatically ac-
complished without using the remote transmitter. Note that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE MANUALLYLOCKED. !
To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming mode, have
it done by your SUBARU dealer. ! Arming the system
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 be-
low or with the key once they have been closed.
Failure to lock the doors manually will result in
a higher security risk.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.

B) LOCK
2. Turn the ignition switch from “ON” to “LOCK” posi-
tion and remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehicle. 4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors with the in-
side door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will automatically arm
after one minute.
In the passive mode, the system can also be armed
with the remote transmitter or with the power door
locking switches. If the remote transmitter or power
door lock switch is used to lock the vehicle, arming will
take place immediately regardless of whether or not
the passive mode has been selected. !

To disarm the system, briefly press the “ ” button
on the transmitter.

!Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes when the alarm
system has been triggered. Also, the number of flash-
es indicates the location of unauthorized intrusion or
the severity of impact on the vehicle. " When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the indicator light will light for 1 second and then
flash as follows: When a door or rear gate (Station wagon) was
opened: 5 times
When the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 4 times
When a strong impact or multiple impacts were
sensed: twice (only vehicles with shock sensors
(dealer option))
When a light impact was sensed: once (only vehi-
cles with shock sensors (dealer option))
! Shock sensors (dealer option)
The shock sensors trigger the alarm system when
they sense impacts applied to the vehicle and when
any of their electric wires is cut. The alarm system
causes the horn to sound and the turn signal lights to
flash for a short time when the sensed impact is weak,
but it warns of a strong impact or multiple impacts by
sounding the horn and flashing the turn signal lights,
both lasting approximately 30 seconds. If you desire, your SUBARU dealer can connect them
and set them for activation or deactivation.
NOTE "
The shock sensors are not always able to sense
impacts caused by breaking in, and cannot sense
an impact that does not cause vibration (such as
breaking the glass using a rescue hammer). " The shock sensors may sense vibration like
those shown below and trigger the alarm system.
Select the settings of the alarm system and shock
sensors appropriately depending on where you
usually park your vehicle.
Example: Vibration from construction site
Vibration in multistory car park
Vibration from trains
" You can have the sensitivity of the shock sen-
sors adjusted to your preference by your SUBARU
dealer.

Child safety locks
Always use the child safety lock whenever a
child rides in the rear seat. Serious injury could
result if a child accidentally opened the door
and fell out.
Each rear door has a child safety lock that prevents
the doors from being opened even if the inside door
handle is pulled. When the child safety lock lever is in the lock position,
the door cannot be opened from inside regardless of
the position of the inner door handle lock lever. The
door can only be opened from the outside.

Windows !Power windows
To avoid serious personal injury caused by en-
trapment, you must do the following."When operating the power windows, be ex-
tremely careful to prevent anyone’s fingers,
arms, neck or head from being caught in the
window. " Always lock the passengers’ windows using
the lock switch when children are riding in the
vehicle. " Before leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in injury to a child operating the
power window.
The power windows operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position. !
