for locking and unlocking the doors and
rear gate (Station wagon) and panic acti-
vation.
To enter the valet mode, change the set-
ting of your vehicle’s alarm system for de-
activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and
deactivating the ala rm system” in this sec-
tion.) The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every three seconds in-
dicating that the syst em 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” in this section.)
„ Passive armingWhen passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatic ally accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED.
T To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your SUBARU
dealer. T Arming the system
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po-
sition.
1) LOCK
2) ON
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 vehi-
cle.
4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors
with the inside door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will auto-
matically arm after one 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 lock-
ing switch is used to lock the vehicle, arm-
ing will take place immediately regardless
of whether or not the passive mode has
been selected.In passive mode, the system will au-
tomatically activate the alarm but
WILL NOT automatically lock the
doors. In order to lock the doors you
must either lock them as indicated
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.

T Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the
“ ” button on the transmitter.
„ Tripped sensor identificationThe security indicator light flashes when
the alarm system has been triggered. Al-
so, the number of flashes indicates the lo-
cation of unauthorized intrusion or the se-
verity of impact on the vehicle.
y 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 rear gate (Station wag-
on) was opened: 5 times
When the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 4
times
When a strong impact or multiple im-
pacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles
with shock sensors (dealer option))
When a light impact was sensed: once
(only vehicles with shock sensors (deal-
er option))
„ Shock sensors (dealer op-
tion)The shock sensors trigger the alarm sys-
tem when they sense impacts applied to
the vehicle and when any of their electric
wires is cut. The alarm system causes the
horn to sound and the turn signal lights to flash for a short time when the sensed im-
pact is weak, but it warns of a strong im-
pact or multiple impacts by sounding the
horn and flashing the turn signal lights,
both lasting approximately 30 seconds.
If you desire, your SUBARU dealer can
connect them and set them for activation
or deactivation.
NOTE y The shock sensors are not always
able to sense impacts caused by
breaking in, and cannot sense an im-
pact that does not cause vibration
(such as breaking the glass using a
rescue hammer).
y The shock sensors may sense vibra-
tion like those shown in the following
and trigger the alarm system. Select
the settings of the alarm system and
shock sensors appropriately depend-
ing on where you usually park your ve-
hicle.
Example:
Vibration from construction site
Vibration in multistory car park
Vibration from trains
y You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your prefer-
ence by your SUBARU dealer. Child safety locks
Each rear door has a child safety lock that
prevents the doors from being opened
even if the inside door handle is pulled.
When the child safety lock lever is in the
lock position, the door cannot be opened
from inside regardless of the position of
the inner door handle lock lever. The door
can only be opened from the outside. Always use the child safety lock
whenever a child rides in the rear
seat. Serious injury could result if a
child accidentally opened the door
and fell out.

Perform the following steps at least twice
a year to check the release handle for cor-
rect operation.
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Use a screwdriver with a thin blade.
Slide the screwdriver blade from the slit
aperture of the lock assembly fully to the
end until you hear a click. This places the latch in the locked posi-
tion.
3. Move the release handle, from outside
the vehicle, in the direction of the arrow to
check if the latch is released.
If the latch is not released, contact yourNever allow any child to get in the
trunk and play with the release han-
dle. If the driver starts the vehicle
without knowing that a child is in-
side the trunk and the child opens
the lid using the release handle, the
child could fall out and be killed or
seriously injured.
y Do not close the lid while gripping
the release handle. The handle
may be damaged.
y Do not use the handle as a hook to
fasten straps or ropes to secure
your cargo in the trunk. Such use
may result in damage of the han-
dle.
y Load the trunk so that cargo can
not strike the release handle. If the
cargo hits the handle while the ve-
hicle is being driven, the handle
may be pushed down and the
trunk lid may open. That may
cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic
safety hazard. 200853 200854

– CONTINUED –NOTE Should the rear gate be unable to be
unlocked due to a discharged battery,
a fault in the door locking/unlocking
system or other causes, you can un-
lock it by manually operating the rear
gate lock release lever.
For the procedure, refer to “Rear gate
(Station wagon) – if the rear gate can-
not be unlocked” section in chapter 9. Moonroof (if equipped)
The moonroof has both tilting and sliding
functions.
The moonroofs operate only when the ig-
nition switch is in the “ON” position.y Do not jam a plastic bag in or
place cellophane tape on the rear
gate stays or scratch the stays
while loading or unloading cargo.
That could cause leakage of gas
from the stays, which may result
in their inability to hold the rear
gate open.
y Be careful not to hit your head or
face on the rear gate when open-
ing or closing the rear gate and
when loading or unloading cargo. y Never let anyone’s hands, arms,
head or any objects protrude from
the moonroof. A person could be
seriously injured if the vehicle
stops suddenly or turns sharply
or if the vehicle is involved in an
accident.
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by entrapment, you must
do the following.
y Before closing the moonroof,
make sure that no one’s hands,
arms, head or other objects will be
accidentally caught in the moon-
roof.
y Before leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition
switch for safety and never allow
an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury to
a child operating the moonroof.
y Never try to check the anti-entrap-
ment function by deliberately
placing part of your body in the
moonroof. y Do not sit on the edge of the open
moonroof.
y Do not operate the moonroof if
falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.
y The anti-entra pment function
does not operate when the moon-
roof is being tilted down. Be sure
to confirm that it is safe to do so
before tilting the moonroof down.
