CAUTION
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party re-
sponsible for compliance could void
the user ’s authority to operate the
equipment.
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle ’s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. Even if
an unregistered key fits into the ignition
switch and can be turned to the “START ”
position, the engine will automatically stop
after several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a trans-
ponder in which the key ’s ID code is
stored. When a key is inserted into the
ignition switch and turned to the “ON ”
position, the transponder transmits thekey ’s ID code to the immobilizer system ’s
receiver. If the transmitted ID code
matches the ID code registered in the
immobilizer system, the system allows the
engine to be started. Since the ID code is
transmitted and acted upon almost in-

responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC
Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this de-
vice may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesiredoperation.
Two transmitters are provided for your vehicle.
The remote keyless entry system has the
following functions. . Locking and unlocking the doors (and
rear gate on the 5-door) without a key. Unlocking the rear gate on the 5-door
without a key. Opening the trunk lid on the 4-door
without a key. Sounding a panic alarm
. Arming and disarming the alarm sys-
tem. For detailed information, refer to “ Alarm system ”F 2-15.
The operable distance of the remote
keyless entry system is approximately 30
feet (10 meters). However, this distance will vary depending on environmental
conditions. The system
’s operable dis-
tance will be shorter in areas near a
facility or electronic equipment emitting
strong radio waves such as a power plant,
broadcast station, TV tower, or remote
controller of home electronic appliances.
The remote keyless entry system does not
operate when the key is inserted in the
ignition switch.

ity reasons. It is recommended that you
have your dealer program all of your
transmitters into your system. !Programming the transmitters
The remote keyless entry system is
equipped with a special code learning
feature that allows you to program new
transmitter codes into the system or to
delete old ones. The system can learn up
to four unique transmitter codes. The four
transmitter codes may be the same ordifferent.
Programming transmitter codes into system:
Bag containing transmitter
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the
remote keyless entry system, it is neces-
sary to program the transmitter ’s code
(identification number) into the system. A
label showing the code is affixed to the
bag containing the transmitter, and an-
other 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 in the
driver ’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45 seconds.(1) Open and close the driver ’s door
once.
1) ON
2) LOCK
(2) Insert the key into the ignition
switch, then turn it from the “LOCK ”

Alarm system

vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn
sounds and the turn signal lights flash if
someone attempts to break into yourvehicle.
The system can be armed and disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the

The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it per-
formed by your SUBARU dealer.. If your vehicle is a 4-door and you
unlock the trunk using the remotetransmitter ’s “
”button with the
alarm system armed, the system will
be temporarily placed in a standby
state. The system will go back to the
surveillance state upon locking thetrunk.. 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. . If any of the following actions are
done during the standby period, the
system will not switch to the surveil-
lance state.
–Doors are unlocked using the
remote transmitter. – Any door (including the rear gate
of a 5-door or the trunk of a 4-door)
is opened. – Ignition switch is turned to the
“ ON ”position.
& Disarming the system
Briefly 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
slowly (once approximately every 3 sec-
onds from twice approximately every 2
seconds), indicating that the alarm system
has been disarmed. NOTE
After 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. . Turntheignitionswitchfromthe
“ LOCK ”to the “ON ”position with a
registered key. & Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used only

!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.
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))
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
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 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 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.
