6. Push the front side (“LOCK”side) ofthe power door locking switch to set thedoor locks.
7. Close the door. An electronic chirp willsound once,the turn signal lights will flashonce and the indicator lights will startflashing rapidly. After rapid flashing for 30seconds (standby time), the indicatorlights will then flash slowly (twice approxi-mately every 2 seconds), indicating thatthe system has been armed for surveil-lance.
NOTE
.The system can be armed even if theengine hood, the windows and/ormoonroof are opened. Always makesure that they are fully closed beforearming the system.
.The 30-second standby time can beeliminated if you prefer. Have it per-formed by your SUBARU dealer..The system is in the standby modefor a 30-second period after locking thedoors with the remote transmitter. Thesecurity indicator light will flash atshort intervals during this period..If any of the following actions isdoneduring the standby period, thesystem will not switch to the surveil-lance state.–Doors are unlocked using theremote transmitter.–Any of the doors or the rear gateis opened.–Ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position.
&Disarming the system
Briefly press the“”button (for less than2 seconds) on the remote transmitter. Thedriver’s door will unlock, an electronicchirp will sound twice and the turn signallights willflash twice. The flashing of thesecurity indicator light will then changeslowly (once approximately every 3 sec-onds from twice approximately every 2seconds), indicating that the alarm systemhas been disarmed.
To unlock all other doors and the reargate, briefly press the“”button a
second time within 5 seconds.
NOTE
If the interval between the first andsecond presses of the“”button (forunlocking of all of the doors and therear gate) is extremely short, the sys-tem may not respond.
!Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using thetransmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost,broken or the transmitter battery is tooweak), you can disarm the system withoutusing the transmitter.
The system can be disarmed if you turnthe ignition switch from the“LOCK”to the“ON”position with a registered key.
&Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, thealarm system does not operate. In valetmode, the remote transmitter is used onlyfor locking and unlocking the doors andrear gate and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change thesetting of your vehicle’s alarm system fordeactivation mode. Refer to“Activatingand deactivatingthe alarm system”F2-16. The security indicator light will con-tinue to flash once every 3 secondsindicating that the system is in the valet

&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.

Hazard warning flasher
Thehazard warning flasher is used towarn other drivers when you have to parkyour vehicle under emergency conditions.The hazard warning flasher works with theignition switch in any position.
To turn on the hazard warning flasher,push the hazard warning button on theinstrumentpanel. To turn off the flasher,push the button again.
NOTE
When the hazard warning flasher is on,the turn signals do not work.
Meters and gauges
NOTE
Liquid crystal displays are used insome of the meters and gauges onthe combination meter. You will findtheir indications hard to see if you wearpolarized glasses.
&Combination meter illumina-
tion
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position, the various parts of thecombinationmeter are illuminated in thefollowing sequence.
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meterrims, meter needles, odometer, trip meter,and gauge back lights illuminate.
2. Meter needles and gauges each showMAX reading.
3. Meter needles and gauges each showMIN reading.
4. Meter and gauge dials illuminate.
5. Regular illumination (for driving) be-gins.
NOTE
The above sequence of operations maynot take place if you quickly turn the
ignition switch to start the engine. Thisis not a malfunction.

vehicle speed and stop the vehicle at thenearest safe place.
Park the vehicle for several minutes. Afterthe light turns off, you can start driving.
If the light does not turn off, contact thenearest SUBARU dealer for service.
NOTE
.If the tire pressures are not correctand/or the tires are not all the samesize and brand, the rear differential willbe heavily loaded when the vehicle isdriven, resultingin an abnormally highoiltemperature..The rear differential oil will deterio-rate if its temperature increases en-ough for the rear differential oil tem-perature warning light to illuminate. It isadvisable to have the rear differentialoil replaced as soon as possible.
&Low tire pressure
warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position, the low tire pressure warn-ing light will illuminate for approximately 2seconds to check that the tire pressuremonitoring system (TPMS) is functioningproperly. If there is no problem and all tiresare properly inflated, the light will turn off.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when coldand inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufac-turer on the vehicle placard or tire inflationpressure label. (If your vehicle has tires ofa different size than the size indicated onthe vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-sure label, you should determine theproper tire inflation pressure for thosetires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehiclehas been equipped with a tire pressuremonitoring system (TPMS) that illuminatesa low tire pressure telltale when one ormore of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tirepressure telltale illuminates, you shouldstop and check your tires as soon aspossible, and inflatethem to the properpressure.Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat andcan lead to tire failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,and may affect the vehicle’s handling andstopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tire maintenance,and it is the driver’sresponsibilitytomaintain correct tire pressure, even ifunder-inflation has not reached the levelto trigger illumination of the TPMS low tirepressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped witha TPMS malfunction indicator to indicatewhen the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-bined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction,the telltale will flash for approximately oneminute and then remain continuouslyilluminated. This sequence will continueupon subsequent vehicle start-ups as longas the malfunction exists. When themalfunction indicator is illuminated, thesystem may not be able to detect or signallow tire pressure as intended. TPMSmalfunctions may occur for a variety ofreasons, including the installation of re-placement or alternate tires or wheels onthe vehicle that prevent the TPMS fromfunctioning properly. Always check theTPMS malfunction telltale after replacingone or more tires or wheels on yourvehicle to ensure that the replacement oralternate tires and wheels allow the TPMSto continue to function properly.
Should the warning light illuminate stea-dily after blinking for approximately oneminute, have the system inspected byyour nearest SUBARU dealer as soon aspossible.

&Security indicator light
The indicators are located in the centerportion of the dashboard.
This indicator light shows the status of thealarm system. It also indicates operationof the immobilizer system.
