Keys and doors/Alarm system
system will automatically arm and doors
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.
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.
!Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost,
broken or the transmitter battery is too
weak), you can disarm the system without
using the 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”F11-50.
&Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the access key/remote transmitter
is used only for locking and unlocking the
doors and rear gate (Outback) 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”F2-28.
&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
illuminate for 1 second and then flash as
follows:
.When a door or rear gate (Outback)
was opened: 5 times
.When the trunk (Legacy) was opened:
4 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))
&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 is 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

pulling up on the switch several times
until the window is fully closed.
To reset to normal operation, initialize
the power window to reactivate the
one-touch auto up/down function. Re-
fer to“Initialization of power window”
F2-37.
This switch also has a one-touch auto up
function that allows the window to be
closed fully without holding the switch.

dow”F2-37.!Anti-entrapment function
CAUTION
.Never attempt to test this func-
tion using fingers, hands or other
parts of your body.
.The anti-entrapment function
may not operate properly if some
object gets trapped just before
the window fully closes.
NOTE
.If a window detects an impact simi-
lar to that caused by trapping an object
(for example, when the vehicle encoun-
ters a deep pothole), the anti-entrap-
ment function may operate.
.The window cannot be operated for
a few seconds after the anti-entrap-
ment function operates.
.If the vehicle’s battery is discon-
nected due to situations such as
battery or fuse replacement, the anti-
entrapment function is deactivated.
Initialize the power window to reacti-
vate the anti-entrapment function. Re-
fer to“Initialization of power window”
F2-37.
While closing with the one-touch auto up
function, if the window senses a substan-tial enough object trapped between the
window and the window frame, it auto-

2. Press and hold the rear gate opener
button. The rear gate will open slightly.
3. Hold the rear gate and lift it up slowly.
NOTE
If the rear gate cannot be opened due
to a discharged vehicle battery, a
malfunction in the door locking/unlock-
ing system or other causes, you can
unlock it by manually operating the
rear gate lock release lever. For the
procedure, refer to“Rear gate
(Outback)–if the rear gate cannot be

To close:
Lower the rear gate slowly and push down
firmly until the latch engages.
The rear gate can be lowered easily if youpull it down holding the handle.
WARNING
.To prevent dangerous exhaust
gas from entering the vehicle,
always keep the rear gate closed
while driving.
.Do not attempt to shut the rear
gate while holding the recessed
grip. Also do not close the rear
gate by pulling the handle from
inside the cargo space. There is a
danger of your hand being
caught and injured.
CAUTION
.Do not jam a plastic bag in or
place cellophane tape on the rear
gate stays or scratch the stays
while loading or unloading cargo.
That could cause leakage of gas
from the stays, which may result
in their inability to hold the rear
gate open.
.Be careful not to hit your head or
face on the rear gate when open-
ing or closing the rear gate and
when loading or unloading car-
go.
&Power rear gate (if equipped)
WARNING
.When opening the rear gate,
make sure there are no people
around it. If the rear gate, by any
chance, should hit a part of the
body, this may result in an injury.
.When closing the rear gate, be
extremely careful to prevent any-
one’s fingers, arms, neck, head
or other objects from being
caught in the rear gate. Other-
wise, serious personal injury
may be caused by entrapment.
.If either of the operating condi-
tions has not been satisfied while
operating the power rear gate, an
electronic chirp will sound and
the power rear gate will be deac-
tivated. In this case, the rear gate
may stop opening or closing
suddenly. Be careful to prevent
anyone’s body or any objects
from being hit against the rear
gate or being caught in the rear
gate.
.After opening the rear gate on a
slope by using the power rear
gate feature, the rear gate may
close. Make sure that the rear

Ignition switch (models with-
out push-button start sys-
tem)
WARNING
.Never turn the ignition switch to
“LOCK”while the vehicle is
being driven or towed because
that will lock the steering wheel,
preventing steering control. And
when the engine is turned off, it
takes a much greater 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 bangedagainst 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
keyholder 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 along 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.
The key can be turned from“ACC”to
“LOCK”only when the key is pushed in
