CR2025 or equivalent) making sure to
install 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 “”buttonsix
timesto synchronize the unit.
& Replacing lost transmitters
If you lose a transmitter or want to
purchase additional transmitters (up to
four can be programmed), you should re-
program all of your transmitters for secur- ity reasons. It is recommended that you
have your dealer program all of your
transmitters into your system. !
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
system 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 Keys and doors
2-11
– CONTINUED –

2-12Keys and doors
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the
keyless entry system, it is necessary to
program the transmitter ’s code (identifica-
tion number) into the system. 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
driver ’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45 seconds.(1) Open and close the driver ’s door
once.
1) LOCK
2) ON
(2) Insert the key into the ignition
switch, then turn it from the “LOCK ” position to the
“ON ”position 10 times
within 15 seconds.
NOTE . When you complete step (2), an
electronic tone will sound once. . If you do not perform steps (1) and
(2) within 45 seconds, an error will
occur. An electronic tone will not
sound. In this event, perform the whole
procedure again beginning with part 1.
4. Open and close the door once within
15 seconds. NOTE . When part 4 of the procedure is
completed, an electronic tone will
sound for 30 seconds.. If you do not perform the operations
in part 4 within 15 seconds, an error
will occur and the electronic tone will
not sound. In this event, perform the
registration steps again beginning with
part 3 of the procedure.

2-14Keys and doors
entered the second time is identical to that
entered the first time. NOTE
If the code entered the second time is
not identical to the code entered the
first time, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again
beginning 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 begin-
ning with part 4. When you have finished
programming all of the necessary trans-
mitter codes into the system, remove the
key from the ignition switch.
11. Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation. !Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry
system 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
security 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
current transmitters, program each one
twice. If you have three current transmit-
ters, program two of them once and the
third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in thesystem
’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 yourvehicle.
The system can be armed and disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system does not 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
deactivation yourself or have it done by
your SUBARU dealer.
& System alarm operation
The alarm system will give the following
alarms when triggered: . The vehicle ’s horn will sound and the
turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds.. If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid)
remains open after the 30-second period,
the horn will continue to sound for a
maximum 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.
