6. Briefly press the “ ” button (for less than two sec-
onds). All doors (and the rear gate on the Station wag-
on) will lock, an electronic chirp will sound one time,
the turn signal lights will flash one time and the indica-
tor light starts flashing slowly (approximately twice ev-
ery two seconds).
The system will then be armed for surveillance after a
standby time of approximately 30 seconds.
If any of the doors, (rear gate or trunk lid) is not fully
closed, an electronic chirp sounds five times, the turn
signal lights flash five times to alert you that the doors
(or the rear gate) are not properly closed. When you
close the door, the system will automatically arm and doors will automatically lock.
NOTE "
The system can be armed even if the engine
hood, the windows and/or moonroofs are opened.
Always make sure that they are fully closed before
arming the system. " The 30-second standby time can be eliminated if
you prefer. Have it performed by your SUBARU
dealer. " If your vehicle is a Sedan and you unlock the
trunk using the remote transmitter’s “ ” but-
ton with the alarm system armed, the system will
be temporarily placed in a standby state. The sys-
tem will go back to the surveillance state upon
locking the trunk. " The system is in the standby mode for a 30-sec-
ond period after locking the doors with the remote
transmitter. The security indicator light will flash
at short intervals during this period. " If any of the following actions is done during the
standby period, the system will not switch to the
surveillance state. "Doors are unlocked using the remote trans-
mitter." Any door (including the rear gate of a Station
wagon or the trunk of a Sedan) is opened. " Ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.

Moonroof (if equipped)
"Never let anyone’s hands, arms, head or any
objects protrude from the moonroof. He/she
could be seriously injured if the vehicle stops
suddenly or turns sharply or if the vehicle is in-
volved in an accident.
To avoid serious personal injury caused by en-
trapment, you must do the following: " Before closing the moonroof, make sure that
no one’s hands, arms, head or other objects
will be accidentally caught in the moonroof. " 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
moonroof. " Never try to check the anti-entrapment func-
tion by deliberately placing part of your body in
the moonroof.
" Do not sit on the edge of the open moonroof.
" Do not operate the moonroof if falling snow
or extremely cold conditions have caused it to
freeze shut." The anti-entrapment function does not oper-
ate when the moonroof is being tilted down. Be
sure to confirm that it is safe to do so before tilt-
ing the moonroof down.
The moonroof has both tilting and sliding functions.
The moonroofs operate only when the ignition switch
is in the “ON” position.

To stop the moonroof at a selected mid-way position
while opening or closing it, momentarily push the
switch to the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” side.
After washing the vehicle or after it rains, wipe away
water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to pre-
vent water drops from falling into the passenger com-
partment. !Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses an object trapped be-
tween its glass and the vehicle’s roof during closure, it
automatically moves back to either of the following po-
sitions according to the point at which it senses the ob-ject: " When the moonroof senses the object at a point be-
tween the halfway stop position and fully closed posi-
tion, it moves back to the halfway stop position and
stops there. " When the moonroof senses the object at a point be-
tween the halfway stop position and fully open posi-
tion, it moves back to the fully open position and stops there.
The anti-entrapment function may also be activated by
a strong shock on the moonroof even when there is
nothing trapped.NOTE " For the sake of safety, it is recommended that
you avoid driving with the moonroof fully opened. " One-touch operation does not take place when
the moonroof is tilted up and down. Push the
switch continuously to tilt the moonroof up and
down. " If the moonroof cannot be closed through the
switch operation because of system failure, it can
be closed manually using a hex-head wrench. For
the procedure, refer to “Moonroof – if the moon-
roof cannot be closed” in Chapter 9. ! Sun shades

approximately 6.7 in (17 cm) from its fully closed posi- tion.
After confirming safety, pull the switch to the “OPEN”
side again and quickly release it. The rear moonroof
will open to its fully open position. To stop the rear
moonroof at some selected mid-way point while it is
moving toward its fully open position, momentarily
push the switch to the “CLOSE” or “OPEN” side.
To fully close the rear moonroof, push the switch to the
“CLOSE” side then quickly release it.
The rear moonroof will stop at a position approximate-
ly 5.9 in (15 cm) before its fully closed position. After
confirming safety, pull the switch to the “CLOSE” side
again and quickly release it. The rear moonroof will ful-
ly close. The front moonroof can then be fully closed. !Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses an object trapped be-
tween its glass and during closure, it automatically
moves back by 5.9 in (15 cm) from that point and then
stops. The anti-entrapment function may also be acti-
vated by a strong shock on the moonroof even when
there is nothing trapped.
NOTE " For the sake of safety, it is recommended that
you avoid driving with the moonroof fully opened. " Driving with the moonroof fully open can cause an annoying sound to generate at high speeds. If
such a condition has been encountered, use the
moonroof at the initial stop position of 6.7 in (17 cm). "
If the moonroof cannot be closed through
switch operation because of system failure, it can
be closed manually using a hex-head wrench. For
the procedure, refer to “Moonroof – if the moon-
roof cannot be closed” in Chapter 9. ! Sun shades
The sun shade can be slid forward or backward by
