Keys and doors/Alarm system
& System operationThe alarm system will give the following
alarms when triggered.
. The vehicle ’ s horn will sound for 30
seconds.
. The hazard warning flashers will flash
for 30 seconds.
If any of the doors or the trunk lid remains
open after the 30-second period, the horn
will continue to sound for a maximum of 3
minutes. If the door or the trunk lid is
closed while the horn is sounding, the
horn will stop sounding with a delay of up
to 30 seconds.
The alarm is triggered by:
. Opening any of the doors or the trunk
lid
. Physical impact to the vehicle, such as
forced entry (only models with shock
sensors (dealer option))
NOTE The alarm system can be set to trigger
the illumination of the following interior
lights.
. Map lights (for models with moon-
roof)
. Dome light (illuminates only when
the dome light switch is in the “ DOOR ”
position) The notifications regarding the map
lights (for models with moonroof) and
dome light are deactivated as the
factory setting. A SUBARU dealer can
activate the system. Contact your
SUBARU dealer for details.
& Activating and deactivating
the alarm system To change the setting of your vehicle ’ s
alarm system for activation or deactiva-
tion, do the following.
1. Disarm the alarm system. Refer to
“ Disarming the system ” F 2-29.
2. Sit in the driver ’ s seat and shut all
doors and the trunk lid.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ ON ”
position.
4. Hold down the REAR (UNLOCK) side
of the driver ’ s power door locking switch,
open the driver ’ s door within the following
1 second, and wait 10 seconds without
releasing the switch. The setting will then
be changed as follows.
If the system was previously activated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays
“ AL OF ” and the horn sounds twice,
indicating that the system is now deacti-
vated. If the system was previously deacti-
vated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays
“ AL ON ” and the horn sounds once,
indicating that the system is now acti-
vated.
NOTE You may have the above setting
change done by your SUBARU dealer.
& If you have accidentally trig-
gered the alarm system ! To stop the alarm
Perform any of the following operations.
. Press any button on the access key/
remote transmitter.
. Turn the ignition switch to the “ ON ”
position (models without “ keyless access
with push-button start system ” ).
. Turn the push-button ignition to the
“ ACC ” position (models with “ keyless
access with push-button start system ” ).
NOTE Only registered keys will stop the
alarm. If the key is not registered, the

4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors
with the inside door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will
automatically arm after 1 minute.
In the passive mode, the system can also
be armed with the remote transmitter or
with the power door locking switches. If
the remote transmitter or power door
locking switch is used to lock the vehicle,
arming will take place immediately regard-
less of whether or not the passive mode
has been selected.
! Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the
disarm button on the remote transmitter. & 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 was opened: 5 times
. When the trunk 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))
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. Keys and doors/Alarm system
