3. Replace with a new battery (Type
CR2025 or equivalent) making sure to in-
stall the new battery with the negative (–)
side facing up.
4. Refit the removed half of the transmit-
ter case.
After the battery is replaced, the trans-
mitter must be synchronized with the
keyless entry system’s control unit.
Press either the “ ” or “ ” button
six times to synchronize the unit.
„ Replacing lost transmittersIf you lose a transmitter or want to pur-
chase additional transmitters (up to four
can be programmed), you should re-pro- gram all of your transmitters for security
reasons. It is recommended that you have
your dealer program all of your transmit-
ters into your system.
T Programming the transmitters
The keyless entry system is equipped with
a special code learning feature that allows
you to program new transmitter codes into
the system or to delete old ones. The sys-
tem can learn up to four unique transmitter
codes. The four transmitter codes may be
the same or different.
Programming transmitter codes into
system:
Bag containing transmitter Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the key-
less entry system, it is necessary to pro-
gram the transmitter’s code (identification
number) into the syst em. A label showing
the code is affixed to the bag containing
the transmitter, and another is affixed to
the circuit board inside the transmitter. If
there is no bag, open the transmitter case
and make a note of the eight-digit number.
Program the number into the system in
accordance with the following procedure:
1. Firmly close the doors and the rear
gate (Station wagon) or trunk lid (Sedan).
2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the driv-
er’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45
seconds.1 200717

– CONTINUED –onds, an error will occur. In this event,
perform the procedure again beginning
with part 4. If an error occurs six times,
perform the procedure again starting
with part 3.
6. When you have finished entering the
number, pull the lock knob to the “UN-
LOCK” side within five seconds.
NOTE y An electronic tone will sound.
y If you pull the lock knob to the “UN-
LOCK” side when more than five sec-
onds have passed, an error will occur.
In this event, perform the procedure
again beginning with part 4. If an error
occurs six times, perform the proce-
dure again starting with part 3. 7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedure
for each of the remaining digits of the
transmitter code beginning with the sec-
ond digit (counting from the left) and fin-
ishing with the eighth digit.
NOTE y When you finish entering the eighth
digit, an electronic tone will sound for
30 seconds.
y If the interval between one push of
the knob and the next exceeds five sec-
onds, an error will occur. In this event,
perform the procedure again beginning
with part 4. If an error occurs six times,
perform the procedure again starting
with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stops sound-
ing, use the power door lock knob to again
enter the transmitter code beginning with
the leftmost digit.
NOTE If you do not start entering the number
using the lock knob before the elec-
tronic tone stops sounding, an error
will occur. In this event, perform the
procedure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering the
code a second time, an electronic tone will
sound for one second to indicate comple-
tion of registration, provided the code en- tered the second time is identical to that
entered the first time.
NOTE If the code entered the second time is
not identical to th e code entered the
first time, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again be-
ginning with part 5. If an error occurs
five times, perform the procedure
again starting with part 3.
10.If you wish to program another trans-
mitter code into the system (up to four
transmitter codes can be programmed
into the system), perform the procedure
beginning with part 4. When you have fin-
ished programming all of the necessary
transmitter codes into the system, remove
the key from the ignition switch.
11.Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation.
T Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry sys-
tem has four memory locations to store
transmitter codes, giving it the ability to
operate with up to four transmitters. When
you lose a transmitter, the lost transmit-
ter’s code remains in the memory. For se-
curity reasons, lost transmitter codes
should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program

four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two cur-
rent transmitters, pr ogram each one twice.
If you have three current transmitters, pro-
gram two of them once and the third one
twice. This process will leave only current
transmitter codes in the system’s memory.
NOTE Make sure no one else is operating
their keyless entry system within range
of your vehicle when programming
transmitters. If someone else were to
operate their remote transmitter while
you are programming your transmit-
ters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your
system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle. Alarm system The alarm system helps to protect your
vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn
sounds and the turn signal lights flash if
someone attempts to break into your vehi-
cle.
The system can be armed and disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system does no t operate 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 de-
activation yourself or have it done by your
SUBARU dealer.
„ System alarm operation The alarm system will give the following
alarms when triggered:
y The vehicle’s horn will sound and the
turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds.
y If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid) re-
mains open after the 30-second period,
the horn will continue to sound for a maxi-
mum of 3 minutes. If the door (or the rear
gate/trunk lid) 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: y Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk
lid
y Physical impact to the vehicle, such as
forced entry (only vehicles with shock sen-
sors (dealer option))
„ Activating and deactivating
the alarm system To change the setting of your vehicle’s
alarm system for activation or deactiva-
tion, do the following.
1. Disarm the alarm system (see “Disarm-
ing the system” in this section).

driver’s power door locking switch, open
the driver’s door within the following 1 sec-
ond, and wait 10 seconds without releas-
ing the switch. The setting will then be
changed as follows:
If the system was pr eviously activated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays
“AL oF” and the horn sounds twice, indi-
cating that the system is now deactivated.
