2013 SUBARU TRIBECA ignition

NOTE .When you finish entering the eighth
digit, an electronic tone will sound for
30 seconds.. If the interval between one push of
the switch and the next exceeds 5
seconds, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again
beginning with part 4. If an error occurs
six times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stops
sounding, use the power door locking
switch to reenter the transmitter code
beginning with the leftmost digit. NOTE
If you do not start entering the number
using the lock knob before the electro-
nic tone stops sounding, an error will
occur. In this event, perform the proce-
dure 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. 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
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 losttransmitter ’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 thesystem
’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.

&Tripped sensor identification
The 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
illuminate for 1 second and then flash asfollows. . When a door or rear gate was opened:
5 times. When the ignition switch was turned to
the “ON ”position by using a key not
registered with your immobilizer system: 3 times . When a strong impact or multiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles
with shock sensors (dealer option)) . When a light impact was sensed: once
(only vehicles with shock sensors (dealer option))
NOTE
Any of the above indicator light flash-
ing patterns will recur each time the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON ”
position. Rearming the alarm system
cancels the flashing pattern of the
security indicator light. &
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 is 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 30seconds.
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 rescuehammer).. The shock sensors may sense vi-
bration like those shown in the follow-
ing list 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. Example:
–Vibration from construction site
– Vibration in multistory car park
– Vibration from trains
. You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your pre-
ference by your SUBARU dealer.
