2014 SUBARU TRIBECA sensor

&SRS airbag system monitors
A diagnostic system continually monitorsthe readiness of the SRS airbag system(including front seatbelt pretensioners)while the vehicle is being driven. TheSRS airbag system warning light“AIR-BAG”will show normal system operationby lighting for approximately 6 secondswhen the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position.
The following components are monitoredby the indicator.
.Front sub sensor–Right-hand side–Left-hand side.Airbag control module (including im-pact and rolloversensors)
.Frontal airbag module–Driver’s side–Front passenger’s side.Side airbag sensor–Center pillar right-hand side–Center pillar left-hand side.Side airbag module–Driver’s side–Front passenger’s side.Curtain airbag sensor–Rear wheel house right-hand side–Rear wheel house left-hand side.Curtain airbag module–Right-hand side–Left-hand side.Satellite safing sensor (under the sec-ond-row center seat)

Alarm system
The alarm system helps to protect yourvehicle and valuables from theft. The hornsounds and the turn signal lights flash ifsomeone attempts to break into yourvehicle.
The system can be armed and disarmedwith the remote transmitter.
The system does not operate when thekey is inserted into the ignition switch.
Your vehicle’s alarm system has been setfor activation at the time of shipment fromthe factory. You can set the system fordeactivation yourself or have it done byyour SUBARU dealer.
&System operation
The alarm system will give the followingalarms when triggered.
.The vehicle’s horn will sound for 30seconds.
.The turn signal lights will flash for 30seconds.
If any of the doors or the rear gate remainsopen after the 30-second period, the hornwill continueto sound for a maximum of 3minutes. If any of the doors or the reargate 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:
.Opening any of the doors or the reargate
.Physical impact to the vehicle, such asforced entry (only vehicles with shocksensors (dealer option))
NOTE
The alarm system can be set to triggerthe illumination of the following interiorlights.
.Dome light (illuminates only whenthe dome light switch is in the“DOOR”position).Map lights
The notifications regarding the domelight and the map lights are deactivatedas the factory setting. A SUBARUdealer can activate the system. Contactyour SUBARU dealer for details.
&Activating and deactivating
the alarm system
To change the setting of your vehicle’salarm system for activation or deactiva-tion, do the following.
1. Disarm the alarm system. Refer to“Disarming the system”F2-18.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat and shut all
doors and the rear gate.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the“ON”position.
4. Hold down the UNLOCK side of thedriver’s power door locking switch, openthe driver’s door within the following 1second, and wait 10 seconds withoutreleasing the switch. The setting will thenbe changed as follows.
If the system was previously activated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays“AL oF”and the horn sounds twice,indicating that the system is now deacti-vated.
If the system was previously deacti-vated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays“AL on”and the horn sounds once,indicating that the system is now acti-vated.

&Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes whenthe alarm system has been triggered.Also, the number of flashes indicates thelocation of unauthorized intrusion or theseverity of impact on the vehicle.
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position, the indicator light willilluminate for 1 second and then flash asfollows.
.When a door or rear gate was opened:5 times
.When the ignition switch was turned tothe“ON”position by using a key notregistered with your immobilizer system: 3times
.When a strong impact or multipleimpacts were sensed: twice (only vehicleswith shock sensors (dealer option))
.When a light impact was sensed: once(onlyvehicles with shock sensors (dealeroption))
NOTE
Any of the above indicator light flash-ing patterns will recur each time theignition switchis turned to the“ON”position. Rearming the alarm systemcancels the flashing pattern of thesecurity indicator light.
&Shock sensors (dealer op-
tion)
The shock sensors trigger the alarmsystem when they sense impacts appliedto the vehicle and when any of theirelectric wires is cut. The alarm systemcauses the horn to sound and the turnsignal lights to flash for a short time whenthe sensed impact is weak, but it warns ofa strong impact or multiple impacts bysounding the horn and flashing the turnsignal lights, both lasting approximately 30seconds.
If you desire, your SUBARU dealer canconnect them and set them for activationor deactivation.
NOTE
.The shock sensors are not alwaysable to sense impacts caused by break-ing in, and cannot sense an impact thatdoes not cause vibration (such asbreaking 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 systemand shock sensors appropriately de-pending on where you usually parkyour vehicle.
Example:–Vibration from construction site–Vibration in multistory car park–Vibration from trains.You can have the sensitivity of theshock sensors adjusted to your pre-ference by your SUBARU dealer.

WARNING
If this light does not illuminatebriefly after the ignition switch isturned ON or the light illuminatessteadily after blinking for approxi-mately one minute, you should haveyour Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-tem checked at a SUBARU dealer assoon as possible.
If this light illuminates while driving,never brake suddenly and keepdriving straight ahead while gradu-ally reducing speed. Then slowlypull off the road to a safe place.Otherwise an accident involvingserious vehicle damage and seriouspersonal injury could occur.
If this light still illuminates whiledriving after adjusting the tire pres-sure, a tire may have significantdamage and a fast leak that causesthe tire to lose air rapidly. If you havea flat tire, replace it with a spare tireas soon as possible.
When a spare tire is mounted or awheel rim is replaced without theoriginal pressure sensor/transmitterbeing transferred, the Low tire pres-sure warning light will illuminatesteadily after blinking for approxi-mately one minute. This indicates
that the TPMS is unable to monitorall four road wheels. Contact yourSUBARU dealer as soon as possiblefor tire and sensor replacement and/or system resetting. If the lightilluminates steadily after blinkingfor approximately one minute,promptly contact a SUBARU dealerto have the system inspected.
CAUTION
The tire pressure monitoring systemis NOT a substitute for manuallychecking tire pressure. The tirepressureshould be checked peri-odically (at least monthly) using atire gauge. After any change to tirepressure(s), the tire pressure mon-itoring system will not re-check tireinflationpressures until the vehicleis first driven more than 20 mph (32km/h). Therefore, after adjusting thetire pressures, increase the vehiclespeed to at least 20 mph (32 km/h) tostart the TPMS re-checking of thetire inflation pressures. If the tirepressures are now above the severelow pressure threshold, the low tirepressure warning light should turnoff a few minutes later. Therefore, besure to install the specified size for
the front and rear tires.
&ABS warning light
CAUTION
If the warning light behaves asfollows, the ABS system may notwork properly.
When the warning light illuminates,the ABS function shuts down; how-ever, the conventional brake systemcontinues to operate normally.
.The warning light does not illu-minate when the ignition switchis turned to the“ON”position.
.The warning light illuminateswhen the ignition switch isturned to the“ON”position, butit does not turn off even when thevehicle speed exceeds approxi-mately 8 mph (12 km/h).
.The warning light illuminates dur-ing driving.
If any of these conditions occur,have the ABS system repaired atthe first available opportunity byyour SUBARU dealer.
