& Selecting audible signal op-
erationUsing 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.

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. Hold down the REAR (UNLOCK) side
of the power door locking switch.
3. While holding down the REAR (UN-
LOCK) side of the power door locking
switch, pull the key out and re-insert it into
the ignition switch at least 6 times within
10 seconds after Step 2.
4. Open and close the driver ’s door once
within 10 seconds after Step 3.
5. The turn signal lights flash 3 times to
indicate completion of the setting.
You may have the above settings done by
your SUBARU dealer. Also, for models
with the genuine SUBARU navigation
system, the setting can be changed using
the navigation monitor. For details, please
refer to the Owner ’s Manual supplement
for the navigation system.

lar to that caused by trapping an object
(for example, when the vehicle encoun-
ters a deep pothole), the anti-entrap-
ment function may operate.

result.NOTEIf the connection between the combina- tion meter and battery is broken for any
reason such as vehicle maintenance or
fuse replacement, the data recorded on
the trip meter will be lost.
&
TachometerThe tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. This may cause severe da-
mage to the engine.NOTEFor non-turbo models, to protect the
engine while the select lever is in the
“P ” or “N ” position (for AT models) or
the shift lever is in the neutral position
(for MT models), the engine is con-
trolled so that the engine speed may
not become too high even if the accel-
erator pedal is depressed hard.

& System maintenance! Changing the batteries
CAUTION
.Do not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the remote engine start
transmitter when replacing the
battery.
. Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the re-
mote engine start transmitter
when replacing the battery.
. Be careful not to allow children to
touch the battery and any re-
moved parts; children could
swallow them.
. There is a danger of explosion if an incorrect replacement battery
is used. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type of bat-
tery.
. Batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sun-
shine, fire or the like.
The two 3-volt lithium batteries (model
CR-1220 ) supplied in your remote engine
start transmitter should last approximately
3 years, depending on usage. When the
batteries begin to weaken, you will notice
a decrease in range (distance from the
vehicle that your remote engine start
system operates). Follow the instructions
below to change the remote engine start
transmitter batteries.
