2006 SUBARU IMPREZA turn signal

Keys and doors 2-17
4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors
with the inside door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will auto-
matically 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-
ing switch is used to lock the vehicle, arm-
ing will take place immediately regardless
of whether or not the passive mode has
been selected.
Disarming the system
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. Al-
so, the number of flashes indicates the lo-
cation of unauthorized intrusion or the se-
verity of impact on the vehicle.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ ON ” position, the indicator light will light
for 1 second and then flash as follows: When a door or rear gate (Wagon) or
the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 5 times
When the ignition switch was turned to
the “ON ” position: 3 times
When a strong impact or multiple im-
pacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles
with shock sensors (dealer option))
When a light impact was sensed: once
(only vehicles with shock sensors (deal-
er option))
NOTE
Any of the above indicator light flash-
ings will recur each time the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON ” position.
Rearming the alarm system cancels
the flashing.
Shock sensors (dealer op-
tion)
The shock sensors trigger the alarm sys-
tem 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 im-
pact is weak, but it warns of a strong im-
pact 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 im-
pact that does not cause vibration
(such as breaking the glass using a
rescue hammer).
The shock sensors may sense vibra-
tion like those shown in the following
and trigger the alarm system. Select
the settings of the alarm system and
shock sensors appropriately depend-
ing on where you usually park your ve-
hicle.
Example:
Vibration from construction site
Vibration in multistory car park
Vibration from trains
You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your prefer-
ence by your SUBARU dealer.

Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher is used to
warn other drivers when you have to park
your vehicle under emergency conditions.
The hazard warning flasher works with the
ignition switch in any position.
To turn on the hazard warning flasher,
push the hazard warning button on the in-
strument panel. To turn off the flasher,
push the button again.
NOTE
When the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
Meters and gauges (WRX-
STI)
Combination meter illumina-
tion
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON ” position, the various parts of the
combination meter are illuminated in the
following sequence:
1. Meter needles and gauge needles light
up.
2. Meter needles and gauge needles
each show MAX position.
3. Meter needles and gauge needles
each show MIN position, and REV indica-
tor flashes.
4. Dials and indicators in meters and
gauges light up.
5. “STI ” mark lights up.
6. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins.
Cancelling sequential illumi-
nation of the combination
meter
With the ignition switch in the “ON ” posi-
tion, it is possible to cancel sequential illu-
mination of the combination meter.
Press the trip knob while turning the REV
setting knob clockwise or counterclock- wise. The buzzer will sound briefly, and
the outside temperature indicator will
show
“ON ” or “– –” .
ON : sequential illumination – – : sequential illumination cancelled
The setting toggles between “ON ” and “–
–” each time the trip knob is pressed.
Return the REV setting knob to its original
position to complete the setting process.
The buzzer will sound briefly. A few sec-
onds later, the outside temperature indica-
tor will return to showing the outside tem-
perature.
NOTE
It is not possible to cancel sequential
illumination of the combination meter
while sequential illumination is actual-
ly taking place. Cancel sequential illu-
mination when regular illumination (for
driving) has begun.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed.

3-20 Instruments and controls
Selector lever position indi-
cator (AT vehicles)
This indicator shows the position of the
selector lever.
Turn signal indicator
lights
These lights show the operation of the
turn signal or lane change signal.
If the indicator lights do not blink or blink
rapidly, the turn signal bulb may be
burned out. Replace the bulb as soon as
possible. Refer to the “Replacing bulbs ”
section in chapter 11.
High beam indicator
light
This light shows that the headlights are in
the high beam mode.
This indicator light also comes on when
the headlight flasher is operated.
Cruise control indica-
tor light
The cruise control indicator light comes on
when the ignition switch is turned to the“ ON ” position and goes out after approxi-
mately three seconds.
This light comes on when the “CRUISE ”
main switch is pressed.
If you move the cruise control lever or
press the main switch button while turning
the ignition switch “ON ”, the cruise control
function is deactivated and the “CRUISE ”
indicator light flashes. To reactivate the
cruise control function, turn the ignition
switch back to the “ACC ” or “LOCK ” posi-
tion, and then turn it again to the “ON ” po-
sition.
Cruise control set indi-
cator light
The cruise control set indicator light
comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON ” position and goes out after approximately three seconds.
This light comes on when vehicle speed
has been set.
Driver
’s control center
differential auto indica-
tor light (WRX-STI)
This light functions while the ignition
switch is ON. When on, it indicates that
the driver ’s control center differential is set
to AUTO mode. It goes off when the driv-
er ’s control center differential ’s manual
mode switch is pressed. For details, refer
to Chapter 7, “Driver ’s Control Center Dif-
ferential (DCCD) (WRX-STI) ”.

H M S E T
300626
To prevent battery discharge result-
ing from accidentally leaving your
lights on when your vehicle is
parked, the light switch operates
only when the ignition switch is in
the
“ON ” position. In any other posi-
tion, the vehicle ’s lights will be out.
If you park your vehicle on a road-
side at night, use the hazard warn-
ing flasher to alert the other drivers.

High/low beam change (dim-
mer)
To change from low beam to high beam,
push the turn signal lever forward. When
the headlights are on high beam, the high
beam indicator light “ ” on the instru-
ment panel is also on.
To switch back to low beam, pull the lever
back to the detent position.
Headlight flasher
To flash the headlights, pull the lever to-
ward you and then release it. The high
beam will stay on for as long as you hold
the lever. The headlight flasher works
even though the lighting switch is in the “ OFF ” position.
When the headlights are on high beam,
the high beam indicator light “ ” on
the instrument panel also comes on.
Daytime running light system
