2006 SUBARU LEGACY turn signal

2-16 Keys and doors
6. Push the front side (“LOCK” side) of
the power door locking switch to set thedoor locks.
7. Close the door. An electronic chirp will
sound once, the turn signal lights will flash
once and the indicator lights will start
flashing rapidly. After rapid flashing for 30
seconds (standby time), the indicator
lights will then flash slowly (twice approxi-
mately every two seconds), indicating that
the system has been armed for surveil-
lance.
NOTE yThe 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. y
The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it per-
formed by your SUBARU dealer.y If your vehicle is a Sedan and you un-
lock the trunk usin g the remote trans-
mitter’s “ ” button with the alarm
system armed, the system will be tem-
porarily placed in a standby state. The
system will go back to the surveillance
state upon locking the trunk. y The system is in the standby mode
for a 30-second period after locking the
doors with the remo te transmitter. The
security indicator light will flash at
short intervals during this period.y If any of the following actions is done
during the standby period, the system
will not switch to the surveillance state.
yDoors are unlocked using the re-
mote transmitter. y Any door (including the rear gate
of a Station wagon or the trunk of a
Sedan) is opened. y Ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
„ Disarming the system
Briefly press the “ ” button (for less
than two seconds) on the remote transmit-
ter. The driver’s door will unlock, an elec-
tronic chirp will sound twice, the turn sig-
nal 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 within 5 seconds.
NOTE
If the interval betw
een the first and sec-
ond presses of the “ ” button (for
unlocking of all of the doors and the
rear gate) is extreme ly short, the sys-
tem may not respond.
Or the system can be disarmed by the following method, too.y Insert the key in the door lock of the
driver’s door and turn it to the unlock
position. T Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro-
ken or the transmitter battery is too weak),
you can disarm the system without using
the transmitter.
The system can be disarmed if you turn
the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the
“ON” position with a registered key.
Insert the key in the door lock of the driv-
er’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

TDisarming 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.y 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 (Station wag-
on) was opened: 5 times
When the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 4times
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))
„ 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 y
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).y 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
y You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your prefer-
ence by your SUBARU dealer.
Child safety locks
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.
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.
