Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the transmitter

door.
2. The alarm will sound.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and cycle it
from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position three (3) times
within 5 seconds .
„ Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the security system
does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmit-
ter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors
(and rear gate on the Wagon) and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, open the driver’s door and keep the “ ” button depressed

seconds . The security indicator light will continue to
flash twice per second indicating that the system is in the valet mode.

onds . The indicator will stop flashing.
NOTE If the remote transmitter is used to lock or unlock
the doors while the valet mode is selected, the
turn signal lights do not flash but an electronic
chirp is emitted. „Passive arming
When passive arming mode has been programmed by
the dealer, arming of the system is automatically ac-
complished without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE MANUALLY LOCKED. T To enter the passive mode
Since programming the passive arming mode is a
complicated procedure, have it done by your nearest SUBARU dealer.

activate the alarm but WILL NOT automatically
lock the doors. In order to lock the doors you

on the transmitter. V Tripped sensor identification (all models ex- cept WRX-STi)
If an electronic chirp sounds four times and the turn
signal lights flash four times when you disarm the sys-

number of times the indicator light flashes indicates
what sensor caused the alarm condition.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position twice. (“LOCK” “ON” “LOCK” “ON” “LOCK”)

Flashing once:
Any door, the rear gate or the trunk lid
has been opened.
Flashing three times: The impact sensor in the sys-
tem’s unit has been activated. This may indicate that
your vehicle has been shocked or tampered with by
some outside force and/or unauthorized person.
Flashing four times: The ignition switch has been
turned on or the battery has been disconnected.
NOTE
The battery must be reconnected before the indi-
cator light will flash.
