will automatically lock.
&Disarming the system
Perform either of the following procedures.
. Briefly press the disarm button (for less
than 2 seconds) on the access key/remote
transmitter.
. Carry the access key and perform
either of the following procedures (models
with “keyless access with push-button
start system ”).
– Grip the front door handle.
– Press the rear gate opener button
(5-door).
The following door(s) will unlock, an
electronic chirp will sound twice and the
hazard warning flashers will flash twice.
. Driver ’s door: when either of the
following procedures is performed
–Press the disarm button on the
access key/remote transmitter briefly
(for less than 2 seconds).
– Grip the driver ’s door handle (mod-
els with “keyless access with push-
button start system ”).
. Rear gate (5-door): when pressing the
rear gate opener button (models with
“ keyless access with push-button start
system ”)
. All doors: when gripping the front passenger
’s door handle (models with
“keyless access with push-button start
system ”)
The flashing of the security indicator light
will then change slowly (once approxi-
mately every 3 seconds from twice ap-
proximately every 2 seconds), indicating
that the alarm system has been disarmed.
To unlock all other doors and the rear gate
(5-door), briefly press the disarm button a
second time within 5 seconds.
! Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
access key/transmitter (i.e. the transmitter
is lost, broken or the transmitter battery is
too weak), you can disarm the system
without using the access key/remote
transmitter.
The system can be disarmed if you turn
the ignition switch from the “LOCK”/“OFF”
to the “ON”position with a registered key/
access key.
NOTE
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system” , if the ac-
cess key battery is discharged, perform
the procedure described in “Switching
power” F9-18. In such a case, replace
the battery immediately. Refer to “Re-placing battery of access key”
F11-44.
& Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used only
for locking and unlocking the doors and
rear gate (5-door) and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the
setting of your vehicle’ s alarm system for
deactivation mode. Refer to “Activating
and deactivating the alarm system” F2-
28. The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every 3 seconds
indicating that the system is in the valet
mode.
To exit valet mode, change the setting of
your vehicle’ s alarm system for activation
mode. Refer to “Activating and deactivat-
ing the alarm system ”F 2-28.
& Passive arming (models
without “keyless access with
push-button start system ”)
! Passive arming mode
When passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note

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.

Ignition switch (models with-
out “keyless access with
push-button start system ”)
WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK ”position while the
vehicle is being driven or towed
because that will lock the steer-
ing wheel, preventing steering
control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much great-
er effort than usual to steer.
. Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure
to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child or
others. Children could operate
the power windows, the moon-
roof or other controls or even
make the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the “ON”posi-
tion to the “ACC”or “LOCK ”posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a key
holder or to a large bunch of other
keys, centrifugal force may act on it
as the vehicle moves, resulting in
unwanted turning of the ignition
switch.
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.
NOTE
. Keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK ”position when the engine is
not running.
. Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in the
“ON ”or “ACC ”position can cause the
battery to go dead.
. If the ignition switch will not move
from the “LOCK”position to the “ACC”
position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
the ignition switch.
& LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key.

SUBARU dealer immediately.
. If the push-button ignition switch
does not illuminate even when
the instrument panel illumination
is turned on, have the vehicle
inspected at a SUBARU dealer.
. If the vehicle was left in the hot
sun for a long time, the surface of
the push-button ignition switch

ignition switch, firmly press it all the
way.
. If the push-button ignition switch is
pressed quickly, the power may not
turn on or off.

button ignition switch flashes in green
when the push-button ignition switch is
pressed, steering is locked. When this
occurs, press the push-button ignition
switch while turning the steering wheel left and right.

Battery drainage prevention func-
tion
When the push-button ignition switch is
left in the “ACC ”or “ON ”position for
approximately 1 hour, the push-button
ignition switch will be automatically
switched to “OFF”to prevent the battery
from going dead. This function is activated
when the select lever is in the “P”position.
& When access key does not
operate properly
Refer to “Access key –if access key does
not operate properly ”F 9-18.
