!Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes when
the alarm system has been triggered. Also,
the number of flashes indicates the loca-
tion of unauthorized intrusion or the
severity of impact on the vehicle.
After turning the ignition switch 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 the engine hood was opened: 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))NOTEAny 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 option)
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 approxi-
mately 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 vibra-
tion as indicated in the following ex-
amples 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.

Engine overheating
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap until the engine has been shut
off and has fully cooled down. When
the engine is hot, the coolant is
under pressure. Removing the cap
while the engine is still hot could
release a spray of boiling hot cool-
ant, which could burn you very
seriously.
If the engine overheats, safely pull off the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
location.&If steam is coming from the
engine compartment.Turn off the engine and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down.
.Contact an authorized SUBARU deal-
er.
&If no steam is coming from the
engine compartment1. Keep the engine running at idling
speed.
2. Open the engine hood to ventilate the
engine compartment. Refer to“Engine
hood”F11-9.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off
the engine and contact an authorized
SUBARU dealer for repair.
3. After the engine coolant temperature
has dropped, turn off the engine.Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating rangeIf temperature gauge stays in the over-
heated zone, turn off the engine. Refer to
“Temperature gauge”F3-11.4. After the engine has fully cooled down,
check the coolant level in the reserve tank.
If the coolant level is below the“LOW”
mark, add coolant up to the“FULL”mark.
NOTEFor details about how to check the
coolant level or how to add coolant,
refer to“Engine coolant”F11-17.
5. If there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, add coolant to the reserve tank. Then
remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator
with coolant.
If you remove the radiator cap from a hot
radiator, first wrap a thick cloth around the
radiator cap, then turn the cap counter-
clockwise slowly without pressing down
until it stops. Release the pressure from
the radiator. After the pressure has been
fully released, remove the cap by pressing
down and turning it.
