spond to the signals from the remote
transmitter. „
Sounding a panic alarm
To activate the alarm, keep the “ ” but-
ton pressed for more than two seconds .
The horn will sound and the turn signal
lights will flash.
To deactivate it, press any button on the
remote transmitter. Unless a button on the
remote is pressed, the alarm will be deac-
tivated after approximately 30 seconds. „ Selecting audible signal op-
eration
Using an electronic chirp, the system will
give you an audible signal when the doors
lock and unlock. If desired, you may turn
the audible signal off.
Do the following to deactivate the audible
signal. You can also use the same steps
to restore the function.
1. Sit in the driver’s seat and shut all
doors and the rear gate.
2. Open the driver’s door, then remove
the key from the ignition switch.
3. Hold down the “UNLOCK” side of the
power door locking switch.
4. While holding down the “UNLOCK”
side of the power door locking switch, in-
sert the key into the ignition switch and re-
move it again at least 6 times within 10
seconds after Step 3.
5. While still holding down the “UNLOCK” side of the power door locking switch,
close the driver’s door once within 10 sec-
onds after Step 4.
6. The turn signal lights flashes 3 times to
indicate completion of the setting.
NOTE
If you do not close the driver’s door
within 10 seconds after Step 4, a flash
of the turn signal lights will signal time-
out. If this happens, repeat the whole
procedure from Step 1.
You may have the above settings done by
your SUBARU dealer. „ Replacing the battery
When the transmitter battery begins to get
weak, transmitter range will begin to de-
crease. Replace the battery as soon as
possible.
yDo not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the transmitter when replac-
ing the battery.
y Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the trans-
mitter when replacing the battery.

tered the second time is identical to that
entered the first time.
NOTE
If the code entered the second time is
not identical to the code entered the
first time, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again be-
ginning with part 5. If an error occurs
five times, perform the procedure
again starting with part 3.
10.If you wish to program another trans-
mitter code into the system (up to four
transmitter codes can be programmed
into the system), perform the procedure
beginning with part 4. When you have fin-
ished programming all of the necessary
transmitter codes into the system, remove
the key from the ignition switch.
11.Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation. TDeleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry sys-
tem has four memory locations to store
transmitter codes, giving it the ability to
operate with up to four transmitters. When
you lose a transmitter, the lost transmit-
ter’s code remains in the memory. For se-
curity reasons, lost transmitter codes
should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two cur-
rent transmitters, program each one twice.
If you have three current transmitters, pro-
gram two of them once and the third one
twice. This process will leave only current
transmitter codes in the system’s memory.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating
their keyless entry system within range
of your vehicle when programming
transmitters. If someone else were to
operate their remote transmitter while
you are programming your transmit-
ters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your
system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle.
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 operation
The alarm system will give the following
alarm when triggered: y The vehicle’s horn will sound and the
turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds. y If any door or the rear gate remains
open after the 30-second period, the horn
will continue to sound for a maximum of 3
minutes. If the door and the rear gate are
closed while the horn is sounding, the
horn will stop sounding with a delay of up
to 30 seconds.

than two seconds). All doors and the rear
gate will lock, an electric 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 approximately ev-
ery two seconds), indicating that the sys-
tem has been armed for surveillance.
If any of the doors or the rear gate 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 automati-
cally arm and doors will automatically
lock. TTo arm the system using power
door locking switches
1. Close all windows.
2. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehi-
cle.
4. Make sure that the engine hood is
locked.
5. Close the doors and the rear gate but
leave only the driver’s door or the front
passenger’s door open. 6. Push the front side (“LOCK” side) of
the power door locking switch to set the
door 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
y 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. y
The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it per-
formed by your SUBARU dealer. y The system is in the standby mode
for a 30-second period after locking the
doors with the remote 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 or the rear gate is
opened. y Ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
y The engine does not start even when
the ignition switch is turned to the
“START” position once the alarm sys-
tem has been triggered.
„ 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

2. Turn the ignition switch from “ON” to
“LOCK” position and remove the key from
the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehi-
cle.
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.T
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.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 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
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 below and trigger
the alarm system. Select the settings of
the alarm system and shock sensors
appropriately depending on where you
usually park your vehicle.

Vibration from a construction site
Vibration in a multistory parking ga-
