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

Disarming the systemTo disarm the system, brie fly press the “ ” button
on the transmitter. „ Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes when the alarm system has been tri ggered. Also, the number of flash-
es indicates the location of unauthorized intrusion or
the severity of impact on the vehicle. y When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the indicator light will light for 1 second and then
flash as follows: When a door was opened: 5 times
When the ignition switch was turned to the “ON” po-
sition: 3 times
When a strong impact or multiple impacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles with shock sensors
(dealer option))
When a light impact was sensed: once (only vehi-
cles with shock sensors (dealer option))
NOTE
Any of the above indicator light flashings will re-
cur each time the ignition
switch is turned to the
“ON” position. Rearming the alarm system can-
cels the flashing. „ Shock sensors (dealer option)
The shock sensors trigger the alarm system 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 impact 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 impact that does not cause vibration (such as

Never turn the igniti on switch to “LOCK”
while the vehicle is being driven or towed be-
cause that will lock the steering wheel, prevent-
ing steering control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much greater effort than
usual to steer. 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 or others. Chil-
dren could operate the power windows, the
sunroof or other controls or even make the ve-
hicle move.
The ignition switch has four positions: LOCK, ACC,
ON and START.
NOTE y Keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position
when the engine is not running. y Using electrical accessories for a long time with
the ignition switch in th e “ON” or “ACC” position
can cause the battery to go dead.
If the ignition switch will not move from the
“LOCK” position to the “ACC” position, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the left and right as you
turn the ignition switch.y If the key is attached to a keyholder or to a large
bunch of other keys, centrifugal force may act on
it as the vehicle moves, resulting in unwanted
turning of the ignition switch. Also, if a large key-
