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.

Ignition switch
WARNING
.Never turn the ignition switch to“LOCK”while the vehicle isbeing driven or towed becausethat will lock the steering wheel,preventing steering control. Andwhen the engine is turned off, ittakes a much greater effort thanusual to steer.
.Before leaving the vehicle, al-ways removethe key from theignition switch for safety andnever allow an unattended childto remain in the vehicle. Failureto follow this procedure couldresult in injury to a child orothers. Children could operatethe power windows, the moon-roof or other controls or evenmake the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder orkey case to either key. If it bangedagainst your knees or hands whileyou were driving, it could turn theignition switch from the“ON”posi-
tion to the“Acc”or“LOCK”posi-tion, thereby stopping the engine.Also, if the key is attached to akeyholder or to a large bunch ofother keys, centrifugal force may acton it as the vehicle moves, resultingin unwanted turning of the ignitionswitch.
The ignition switch has four positions:LOCK, Acc, ON and START.
NOTE
.Keep the ignition switch in the“LOCK”position when the engine isnot running..Using electrical accessories for along time with the ignition switch in the“ON”or“Acc”position can cause thebattery to go dead.
.If the ignition switch will not movefrom the“LOCK”position to the“Acc”position, turn the steering wheelslightly to the left and right as you turnthe ignition switch.
&LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removedin this position. The ignition switch will lockthe steering wheel when you remove thekey.
If turning the key is difficult, turn thesteering wheel slightly to the right and leftas you turn the key.
The key can be turned from“Acc”to“LOCK”only when the select lever is in the“P”position.
