Alarm system
The alarm system helps to protect your
vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn
sounds and the hazard warning flashers
flash if someone attempts to break into
your vehicle.
For models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”:
The system can be armed or disarmed
with the keyless access function or access
key.
The system will not be activated when the
push-button ignition switch is in the“ACC”
or“ON”position.
For models without“keyless access
with push-button start system”:
The system can be armed or disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system will not be activated when the
key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Your vehicle’s alarm system has been set
for activation at the time of shipment from
the factory. You can set the system for
deactivation yourself or have it done by
your SUBARU dealer.
&System operation
The alarm system will sound 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 rear gate remains
open after the 30-second period, the horn
will continue to sound for a maximum of 3
minutes. If the door or the rear gate 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 (including the
rear gate)
.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 (models with moonroof)
.Dome light (illuminates only when
the dome light switch is in the“DOOR”
position)
.Cargo area light (illuminates only
2-26

when the cargo area light switch is in
the“DOOR”position)
The notifications regarding the map
lights, dome light and cargo area light
are deactivated as the factory setting. A
SUBARU dealer can activate the sys-
tem. Contact your SUBARU dealer for
details.

!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 status”F9-17. In such a case,
replace the battery immediately. Refer
to“Replacing battery of access key”
F11-42.
&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 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-
27. 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”F2-27.
&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
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED.!To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your SUBARU
dealer.
!Arming the system
CAUTION
In passive mode, the system will
automatically activate the alarm but
WILL NOT automatically lock the
doors. In order to lock the doors
you must either lock them as in-
dicated in step 4 below or with the
key once they have been closed.
Failure to lock the doors manually
will result in a higher security risk.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the“ON”
position.

1) ON
2) LOCK
2. Turn the ignition switch from“ON”to
“LOCK”position and remove the key from
the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the
vehicle.
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
“
”button on the 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 or the rear gate was
opened: 5 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.
2-32

&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.
Child safety locks
Each rear door has a child safety lock.
When the child safety lock lever is in the
lock position, the door cannot be opened
from inside. The door can only be opened
from the outside.
WARNING
Always turn the child safety locks to
the“LOCK”position when children
sit in the rear seat. Serious injury
could result if a child accidentally
opens the door and falls out.
