Security indicator light6. Carry the access key fob and touch the
door lock sensor.
All doors will lock, an electronic chirp will
sound once, the hazard warning flashers
will flash once, and the security indicator
light will start flashing rapidly.
After rapid flashing for 30 seconds (stand-
by time), the security indicator light will
then flash slowly (twice approximately
every 2 seconds), indicating that the
system has been armed for surveillance.!Disarming the system
Perform either of the following procedures.
.Briefly press the disarm button (for less
than 2 seconds) on the access key fob/
remote transmitter.
.Carry the access key fob and grip the
front 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.
!Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
access key fob/transmitter (i.e. the trans-
mitter is lost, broken or the transmitter
battery is too weak), you can disarm the
system without using the access key fob/
remote transmitter.
You can disarm the system if you turn the
ignition switch from the“LOCK”/“OFF”to
the“ON”position with a registered key/
access key fob.
NOTEFor models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”, if the bat-
tery of the access key fob is dis-
charged, perform the procedure de-scribed in“Switching power status”
F9-26. In such a case, replace the
battery immediately. Refer to“Repla-
cing battery of access key fob”F11-52.
!Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the access key fob/transmitter is
used only for locking and unlocking the
doors and for 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-
24. The security indicator light will continue
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”F2-24.

!Passive arming (models without
“keyless access with push-button
start system”)
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 indi-
cated 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) LOCK2. 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, you can also arm the
system with the remote transmitter or with
the power door locking switches. If you use
the remote transmitter or power door
locking switch to lock the vehicle, arming
will take place immediately regardless 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 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.

example, an unauthorized duplicate) is
used, the security indicator light illumi-
nates. For details about the immobilizer
system, refer to“Immobilizer”F2-22.
NOTE.The security indicator light remains
off in the following conditions. It means
