& Arming the system
! Tips
. The system can be armed even if the
engine hood, windows and/or moonroof
are open. Always make sure that they are
fully closed before arming the system.
. The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it performed
by your SUBARU dealer.
. If your vehicle is a 4-door and you open
the trunk using the access key/remote
transmitter ’s “
”button with the alarm
system armed, the system will be tem-
porarily placed in a standby state. The
system will go back to the surveillance
state upon locking the trunk.
. 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 surveillance state.
–Doors (including the rear gate/trunk
lid) are unlocked using the access key/
remote transmitter.
– Doors (including the rear gate/trunk
lid) are unlocked using the keyless
access function (models with “keyless
access with push-button start sys-
tem”).
– Any door (including the rear gate/
trunk lid) is opened.
– The ignition switch is turned to the
“ON ”position (models without “keyless
access with push-button start sys-
tem”).
– Push-button ignition switch is
turned to the “ACC”position (models
with “keyless access with push-button
start system ”).
! To arm the system using access
key/remote transmitter
1. Close all windows and the moonroof (if
equipped).
2. Remove the key from the ignition
switch (models without “keyless access
with push-button start system ”)/turn the
push-button ignition switch to the “OFF”
position (models with “keyless access with
push-button start system ”). 3. Open the doors and get out of the
vehicle.

Keys and doors/Alarm system
&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 the 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 hazard
warning flashers 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 hazard warning flashers, both lasting
approximately 30 seconds.
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.

time.
WARNING
Never allow any child to get in the
trunk and play with the release
handle. If the driver starts the vehi-
cle without knowing that a child is
inside the trunk and the child opens
the lid using the release handle, the
child could fall out and be killed or
seriously injured.
CAUTION
. Do not close the lid while grip-
ping the release handle. The
handle may be damaged.
. Do not use the handle as a hook
to fasten straps or ropes to
secure your cargo in the trunk.
Such use may result in damage
of the handle. .
Load the trunk so that cargo can
not strike the release handle. If
the cargo hits the handle while
the vehicle is being driven, the
handle may be pulled up and the
trunk lid may open. That may
cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic
safety hazard.
! Inspection
Perform the following steps at least twice
a year to check the release handle for
correct operation.
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver with a thin
blade. Slide the screwdriver blade from
the slit aperture of the lock assembly to the end until you hear a click.
This places the latch in the locked posi-
tion.
3. Pull the trunk lid release handle from
outside the vehicle, as indicated by the
arrow on the handle to check if the latch is
