Child safety
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a
collision, because the child will be
caught between the passenger
and objects inside the vehicle.
While riding in the vehicle, infants
and small children should always
be placed in the REAR seat in an
infant or child restraint system
which is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight. If a
child is too big for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the
REAR seat and be restrained us-
ing the seatbelts. According to ac-
cident statistics, children are saf-
er when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the
front seating positions. Never al-
low a child to stand up or kneel on
the seat.
Put children aged 12 and under in
the REAR seat properly restrained
at all times in a child restraint de-
vice or in a seatbelt. The SRS air-
bag 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 improp-
erly restrained. Because children
are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk being injured
from deployment is greater.
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.
Always use the child safety locks
whenever a child rides in the rear
seat. Serious injury could result if
a child accidentally opened the
door and fell out. Refer to the“ Child safety locks ” section in
chapter 2.
Always lock the passenger ’s win-
dows using the lock switch when
children are riding in the vehicle.
Failure to follow this procedure
could result in injury to a child op-
erating the power window. Refer
to the “Windows ” section in chap-
ter 2.
Never leave unattended children
in the vehicle. They could acci-
dentally injure themselves or oth-
ers through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sun-
ny days, temperature in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to them.
Help prevent young children from
locking themselves in the trunk.
When leaving the vehicle, either
close all windows and lock all
doors or cancel the inside trunk
lid release. Also make certain that
the trunk is closed. On hot or sun-
ny days, the temperature in a
trunk could quickly become high
enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including
brain damage to anyone locked
inside, particularly for small chil-
dren.

Carefully read the sections “Child restraint
systems ”, “*SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System airbag) ”, and “Seatbelts ”
in chapter 1 of this owner ’s manual for in-
structions and precautions concerning the
child restraint system, seatbelt system
and SRS airbag system.
Engine exhaust gas (Carbon
monoxide)
Drinking and driving
Drunken driving is one of the most fre-
quent causes of accidents. Since alcohol
affects all people differently, you may
have consumed too much alcohol to drive
safely even if the level of alcohol in your
blood is below the legal limit. The safest
thing you can do is never drink and drive.
However if you have no choice but to
drive, stop drinking and sober up com-
pletely before getting behind the wheel.
Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains car-
bon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas which is dangerous,
or even lethal, if inhaled.
Always properly maintain the en-
gine exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from entering
the vehicle.
Never run the engine in a closed
space, such as a garage, except
for the brief time needed to drive
the vehicle in or out of it.
Avoid remaining in a parked vehi-
cle for a lengthy time while the en-
gine is running. If that is unavoid-
able, then use the ventilation fan
to force fresh air into the vehicle.
Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system always
works properly.
If at any time you suspect that ex-
haust fumes are entering the vehi-
cle, have the problem checked
and corrected as soon as possi-
ble. If you must drive under these
conditions, drive only with all win-
dows fully open.
Keep the trunk lid or rear gate
closed while driving to prevent ex-
haust gas from entering the vehi-
cle.
Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Alcohol in the blood-
stream delays your reaction and im-
pairs your perception, judgment and
attentiveness. If you drive after
drinking – even if you drink just a lit-
tle – it will increase the risk of being
involved in a serious or fatal acci-
dent, injuring or killing yourself,
your passengers and others. In ad-
dition, if you are injured in the acci-
dent, alcohol may increase the se-
verity of that injury.
Please don ’t drink and drive.

trunk and glove box locked when you leave your vehicle and valet key at a park-
ing facility.
Key number
The key number is stamped on the metal
plate attached to the key set. Write down
the key number and keep it in another

Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it bangs
against your knees while you are
driving, it could turn the ignition
switch from the ON position to the
ACC or OFF position, thereby stop-
ping the engine.

Replacing lost transmitters
If you lose a transmitter or want to pur-
chase additional transmitters (up to four
can be programmed), you should re-pro-
gram all of your transmitters for security
reasons. It is recommended that you have
your dealer program all of your transmit-
ters into your system.
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 sys-
tem can learn up to four unique transmitter
codes. The four transmitter codes may be
the same or different. Programming transmitter codes into
system:
Bag containing transmitter
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the key-
less entry system, it is necessary to pro-
gram the transmitter
’s code (identification
number) into the system. A label showing
the code is affixed to the bag containing
the transmitter, and another is affixed to
the circuit board inside the transmitter. If
there is no bag, open the transmitter case
and make a note of the eight-digit number.
Program the number into the system in
accordance with the following procedure:
1. Firmly close the doors and the rear
gate, or trunk lid.
2. Open the driver ’s door, sit on the driv-
er ’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45
seconds.
1) Open and close the driver ’s door
once.Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the trans-
mitter when replacing the battery.

Alarm system
The alarm 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 vehi-
cle. The starter motor is also interrupted to
prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the
key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Your vehicle
’s alarm system has been set
for activation at the time of shipment from
the factory. You can set the system for de-
activation yourself or have it done by your
SUBARU dealer.
System alarm operation
The alarm system will give the following
alarms when triggered:
The vehicle ’s horn will sound and the
turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds.
In addition, the starter motor will not oper-
ate.
If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid) re-
mains open after the 30-second period,
the horn will continue to sound for a maxi-
mum of 3 minutes. If the door (or the rear
gate/trunk lid) is closed while the horn is sounding, the horn will stop sounding with
a delay of up to 30 seconds.
The alarm is triggered by:
Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk
lid
Physical impact to the vehicle, such as
forced entry (only vehicles with shock sen-
sors (dealer option))
Activating and deactivating
the alarm system
To change the setting of your vehicle ’s
alarm system for activation or deactiva-
tion, do the following.
1. Disarm the alarm system (see “Disarm-
ing the system ” in this section).
2. Sit in the driver ’s seat and shut all
doors (and the rear gate if your vehicle is
a Wagon).
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON ” po-
sition.
4. Hold down the UNLOCK side of the
driver ’s power door locking switch, open
the driver ’s door within the following 1 sec-
ond, and wait 10 seconds without releas-
ing the switch. The setting will then be
changed as follows:
If the system was previously activated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays “ AL oF ” and the horn sounds twice, indi-
