5. The turn signal lights flash 3 times toindicate completion of the setting.
You may have the above settings done byyour SUBARU dealer.
&Replacing the battery
CAUTION
.Do not let dust, oil or water get onor in the transmitter when repla-cing the battery.
.Be careful not to damage theprinted circuit board in the trans-mitter when replacing the battery.
.Be careful not to allow children totouch the battery and any re-moved parts; children could
swallow them.
.There is a danger of explosion ifan incorrect replacement batteryis used. Replace only with thesame or equivalent type of bat-tery.
.Batteries should not be exposedto excessive heat such as sun-shine, fire or the like.
When the transmitter battery begins to getweak, transmitter range will begin todecrease. Replace the battery as soonas possible.
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the screw on the key head.

Programming transmitter codes intosystem:
Key tag
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. Atag showing the code is affixed to the keyunit, and another is affixed to the circuitboard inside the transmitter. If there is notag, open the transmitter case and make anote of the eight-digit number. Programthe number into the system in accordancewith the following procedure.
1. Firmly close the doors and the reargate.
2. Open the driver’s door, sit on thedriver’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45seconds.
(1) Open and close the driver’s dooronce.
1) LOCK2) ON
(2) Insert the key into the ignitionswitch, then turn it from the“LOCK”position to the“ON”position 10 timeswithin 15 seconds.
NOTE
.When you complete step (2), anelectronic tone will sound once, abuzzer will continue to sound and theinterior light will continue to flash untilthe transmitter codes are completelyregistered..If you do not perform steps (1) and(2) within 45 seconds, an error willoccur. Neither an electronic tone northe buzzer will sound, and the interiorlamp will not flash. In this event, per-

form the whole procedure again begin-ning with part 1.
4. Open and close the door once within15 seconds.
NOTE
.When part 4 of the procedure iscompleted, an electronic tone willsound for 30 seconds..If you do not perform the operationsin part 4 within 15 seconds, an errorwill occur and the electronic tone willnot sound. In this event, perform theregistration steps again beginning withpart 3 of the procedure.
5. Before the electronic tone stopssounding, push the“”side of the powerdoor locking switch the same number oftimes as the leftmost digit of the transmit-
ter code. For example, push the lockingswitch eight times if the leftmost digit ofthe code is 8.
NOTE
.The electronic tone will stop sound-ing when you start entering the num-ber..If you do not start entering thenumber using the lock knob beforetheelectronic tone stops sounding, anerror will occur. In this event, performthe registration steps again beginningwith part 3 of the procedure..If the interval between one push ofthe knob and the next exceeds 5seconds, an error will occur. In thisevent, perform the procedure againbeginning with part 4. If an error occurssix times, perform the procedure againstarting with part 3.
6. When you have finished entering thenumber, push the“”side of the lockingswitch within 5 seconds.
NOTE
.An electronic tone will sound..If you push the“”side of thelocking switch when more than 5seconds have passed, an error willoccur. In this event, perform the proce-dure again beginning with part 4. If anerror occurs six times, perform theprocedure again starting with part 3.
7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedurefor eachof the remaining digits of thetransmitter code beginning with the sec-ond digit (counting from the left) andfinishing with the eighth digit.

NOTE
.When you finish entering the eighthdigit, an electronic tone will sound for30 seconds..If the interval between one push ofthe switch and the next exceeds 5seconds, an error will occur. In thisevent, perform the procedure againbeginning with part 4. If an error occurssix times, perform the procedure againstarting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stopssounding, use the power door lockingswitch to reenter the transmitter codebeginningwith the leftmost digit.
NOTE
If you do not start entering the numberusing the lock knob before the electro-nic tone stops sounding, an error willoccur. In this event, perform the proce-dure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering thecode a second time, an electronic tone willsound for 1 second and automatic doorlocking and unlocking operation will takeplace once to indicate completion ofregistration, provided the code enteredthe second time is identical to that enteredthe first time.
NOTE
If the code entered the second time isnot identical to the code entered thefirst time, an error will occur. In thisevent, perform the procedure againbeginning with part 5. If an error occursfive times, perform the procedure againstarting with part 3.
10. If you wish to program another trans-mitter code into the system (up to fourtransmitter codes can be programmed intothe system), perform the procedure begin-ning with part 4. When you have finishedprogramming all of the necessary trans-mitter codes into the system, remove thekey from the ignition switch.
11. Test every registered transmitter toconfirm correctoperation.
!Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the remote keylessentry system has four memory locations tostore transmitter codes, giving it the abilityto operate with up to four transmitters.When you lose a transmitter, the losttransmitter’s code remains in the memory.For security reasons, lost transmittercodes should be deleted from the mem-ory.
To delete old transmitter codes, programfour transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,program it four times. If you have twocurrent transmitters, program each onetwice. If you have three current transmit-ters, program two of them once and thethird one twice. This process will leaveonly current transmitter codes in thesystem’s memory.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operatingtheir keyless entry system within rangeof your vehicle when programmingtransmitters. If someone else were tooperate their remote transmitter whileyou are programming your transmit-ters, it is possible that their transmittercode will be programmed into yoursystem, allowing them unauthorizedaccess to your vehicle.

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.
