NOTEIf you do not start entering the number
using the lock switch before the elec-
tronic tone stops sounding, an error
will occur. In this event, perform the
procedure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering the
code a second time, an electronic tone will
sound for 1 second and automatic door
locking and unlocking operation will take
place once to indicate completion of
registration, provided the code entered
the second time is identical to that entered
the first time.NOTEIf 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
beginning 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 begin-
ning with part 4. When you have finished
programming all of the necessary trans-
mitter codes into the system, remove the
key from the ignition switch. 11. Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation.
!
Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the remote keyless
entry system 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
transmitter ’s code remains in the memory.
For security reasons, lost transmitter
codes should be deleted from the mem-
ory.
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
current transmitters, program each one
twice. If you have three current transmit-
ters, program two of them once and the
third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in the
system ’s memory.
NOTEMake 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.

Keys and doors
Alarm systemThe 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
vehicle. The starter motor is also inter-
rupted 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
deactivation yourself or have it done by
your SUBARU dealer.& System operationThe alarm system will sound the following
alarms when triggered.
. The vehicle’ s horn will sound for 30
seconds.
. The turn signal lights will flash for 30
seconds.
If any of the doors or the rear gate/trunk lid
remains open after the 30-second period,
the horn will continue to sound for a
maximum 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:
.

& Disarming the systemBriefly press the “
”button (for less than
2 seconds) on the remote transmitter. The
driver ’s door will unlock, an electronic
chirp will sound twice, the turn signal
lights will flash twice. The flashing of the
security indicator light will then change

onds from twice approximately every 2
seconds), indicating that the alarm system
has been disarmed.
NOTEAfter disarming the alarm system,
briefly press the “
”button a second
time within 5 seconds to unlock all
other doors and the rear gate (5-door).
! Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost,
broken or the transmitter battery is too
weak), you can disarm the system without
using the transmitter as follows.
. Turn the ignition switch from the
“ LOCK ”to the “ON ”position with a
registered key.
& Valet modeWhen you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors and
rear gate (5-door) and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the
setting of your vehicle’
s alarm system for
deactivation mode. Refer to “Activating
and deactivating the alarm system ”F 2-
16. The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every 3 seconds
indicating that the system is in the valet
mode.
To exit valet mode, change the setting of
your vehicle ’s alarm system for activation
mode. Refer to “Activating and deactivat-
ing the alarm system ”F 2-16.
& Passive armingWhen passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED.
! To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your SUBARU
dealer. !
Arming the system
CAUTION
In passive mode, the system will
automatically activate the alarm but
WILL NOT automatically lock the
doors. In order to lock the doors
you must either lock them as in-
dicated in step 4 below or with the
key once they have been closed.
Failure to lock the doors manually
will result in a higher security risk.

3. Open the doors and get out of the
vehicle.4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors
with the inside door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will
automatically arm after 1 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
locking switch is used to lock the vehicle,
arming will take place immediately regard-
less 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 identificationThe security indicator light flashes when
the alarm system has been triggered.
Also, the number of flashes indicates the
location of unauthorized intrusion or the
severity 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 (5-door) was
opened: 5 times
. When a door or the trunk (4-door) was
opened: 4 times
. When the ignition switch was turned to
the “ON ”position: 3 times
. When a strong impact or multiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only models
with shock sensors (dealer option))
. When a light impact was sensed: once
(only models with shock sensors (dealer
option))NOTEAny 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
system when they sense impacts applied
to the vehicle and when any of their
electric wires are cut. The alarm system
causes the horn to sound and the turn
signal lights to flash for a short time when
the sensed impact is weak, but it warns of
a strong impact 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 break-
ing in, and cannot sense an impact that
does not cause vibration (such as
breaking the glass using a rescue
hammer).
. The shock sensors may sense vi-
bration as indicated in the following
examples and trigger the alarm system.
Select the settings of the alarm system
and shock sensors appropriately de-
pending on where you usually park

your vehicle.
Examples:
–Vibration from a construction site
– Vibration in a multistory car park
– Vibration from trains
. You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your pre-
ference by your SUBARU dealer.
Child safety locksEach rear door has a child safety lock that
prevents the door 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.
WARNING
Always turn the child safety locks to
the “LOCK ”position when children
sit in the rear seat. Serious injury
could result if a child accidentally
opens the door and falls out.

caused by entrapment, always con-
form to the following instructions
