&Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes whenthe alarm system has been triggered.Also, the number of flashes indicates thelocation of unauthorized intrusion or theseverity of impact on the vehicle.
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position, the indicator light willilluminate for 1 second and then flash asfollows.
.When a door or rear gate was opened:5 times
.When the ignition switch was turned tothe“ON”position by using a key notregistered with your immobilizer system: 3times
.When a strong impact or multipleimpacts were sensed: twice (only vehicleswith shock sensors (dealer option))
.When a light impact was sensed: once(onlyvehicles with shock sensors (dealeroption))
NOTE
Any of the above indicator light flash-ing patterns will recur each time theignition switchis turned to the“ON”position. Rearming the alarm systemcancels the flashing pattern of thesecurity indicator light.
&Shock sensors (dealer op-
tion)
The shock sensors trigger the alarmsystem when they sense impacts appliedto the vehicle and when any of theirelectric wires is cut. The alarm systemcauses the horn to sound and the turnsignal lights to flash for a short time whenthe sensed impact is weak, but it warns ofa strong impact or multiple impacts bysounding the horn and flashing the turnsignal lights, both lasting approximately 30seconds.
If you desire, your SUBARU dealer canconnect them and set them for activationor deactivation.
NOTE
.The shock sensors are not alwaysable to sense impacts caused by break-ing in, and cannot sense an impact thatdoes not cause vibration (such asbreaking the glass using a rescuehammer)..The shock sensors may sense vi-bration like those shown in the follow-ing list and trigger the alarm system.Select the settings of the alarm systemand shock sensors appropriately de-pending on where you usually parkyour vehicle.
Example:–Vibration from construction site–Vibration in multistory car park–Vibration from trains.You can have the sensitivity of theshock sensors adjusted to your pre-ference by your SUBARU dealer.

&Security indicator light
The indicators are located in the centerportion of the dashboard.
This indicator light shows the status of thealarm system. It also indicates operationof the immobilizer system.
