2-12 Keys and doors
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.
1) LOCK
2) ON 2) Insert the key into the ignition switch, then turn it from the “LOCK” position to
the “ON” position 10 times within 15 seconds.
NOTE y
When you complete step 2), an elec-
tronic tone will sound once, a buzzer
will continue to sound and the interior
light will continue to flash until the
transmitter codes are completely regis-tered. y If you do not perform steps 1) and 2)
within 45 seconds, an error will occur.
Neither an electronic tone nor the buzz-
er will sound, and the interior lamp will
not flash. In this event, perform the
whole procedure again beginning with
part 1.
4. Open and close the door once within 15 seconds.
NOTE y When part 4 of the procedure is com-
pleted, an electronic tone will sound
for 30 seconds. y If you do not perform the operations
in part 4 within 15 seconds, an error
will occur and the electronic tone will
not sound. In this event, perform the
registration steps again beginning with
part 3 of the procedure.

10-4 Appearance care
other parts of the vehicle may be dry.
4. High temperatures will cause corrosion
to parts of the vehicle which cannot dry
quickly due to lack of proper ventilation. „To help prevent corrosion
Wash the vehicle regularly to prevent cor-
rosion of the body and suspension com-
ponents. Also, wash the vehicle promptly
after driving on any of the following surfac- es: y roads that have been salted to prevent
them from freezing in winter y mud, sand, or gravel
y coastal roads
After the winter has ended, it is recom-
mended that the underbody be given a
very thorough washing.
Before the beginning of winter, check the
condition of underbody components, such
as the exhaust system, fuel and brake
lines, brake cables, suspension, steering
system, floor pan, and fenders. If any of
them are found to be rusted, they should
be given an appropriate rust prevention
treatment or should be replaced. Contact
your SUBARU dealer to perform this kind
of maintenance and treatment if you needassistance.
Repair chips and scratches in the paint as soon as you find them.
Check the interior of the vehicle for water
and dirt accumulation under the floor mats
because that could cause corrosion. Oc-
casionally check under the mats to make
sure the area is dry.
Keep your garage dry. Do not park your
vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated ga-
rage. In such a garage, corrosion can be
caused by dampness. If you wash the ve-
hicle in the garage or put the vehicle into
the garage when wet or covered with
snow, that can cause dampness.
If your vehicle is operated in cold weather
and/or in areas where road salts and other
corrosive materials are used, the door
hinges and locks, trunk lid lock, and hood
latch should be inspected and lubricated
periodically.Cleaning the interior
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches. (Do not use or-
ganic solvents.) „
Seat fabric
Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a
vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the
fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum
cleaner, use a soft blush then vacuum it.
Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly
wrung cloth and dry the seat fabric thor-
oughly. If the fabric is still dirty, wipe using
a solution of mild soap and lukewarm wa-
ter then dry thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a com-
mercially-available fabric cleaner. Use the
cleaner on a hidden place and make sure
it does not affect the fabric adversely. Use
the cleaner according to its instructions.
NOTE
When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzine, paint thinner, or any similar
materials. „ Leather seat materials
