Keys and doors
In passive mode, the system will automatically
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
above or with the key once they have been
closed. Failure to lock the doors manually will
result in a higher security risk.
! Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the “UNLOCK/
DISARM” button on the transmitter. " Tripped sensor identification
If an electronic chirp sounds four times and the turn
signal lights flash four times when you disarm the sys-
tem, this indicates that the alarm was triggered. The
number of times the indicator light flashes indicates
what sensor caused the alarm condition.
To enter identification mode:
1. Open the driver’s door and leave it open.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position twotimes. (“LOCK” → “ON” → “LOCK” → “ON” →
“LOCK”)
3. The indicator light will start flashing. The indicator light provides the following indications.
Flashing one time:
Any door, the rear gate or the
trunk lid has been opened.
Flashing three times: The impact sensor in the sys-
tem’s unit has been activated. This may indicate that
your vehicle has been shocked or tampered with by
some outside force and/or unauthorized person.
Flashing four times: The ignition switch has been
turned on or the battery has been disconnected.
NOTE
The battery must be reconnected before the indi-
cator light will flash.
To exit this mode, close the door and turn the ignition
switch to the “ON” position.

Meters and gauges (WRX-STi) !Combination meter illumination
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position,
the various parts of the combination meter are illumi-
nated in the following sequence:
1. Meter needles and gauge needles light up.
2. Meter needles and gauge needles each show MAXposition.
3. Meter needles and gauge needles each show MIN
position, and REV indicator flashes.
4. Dials and indicators in meters and gauges light up.
5. “STi” mark lights up.
6. Regular illumination (for driving) begins. ! Cancelling sequential illumination of
the combination meter
With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, it is pos-
sible to cancel sequential illumination of the combina-
tion meter.
Press the trip knob while turning the REV setting knob
clockwise or counterclockwise. The buzzer will sound
briefly, and the ambient temperature gauge will show
“ON” or “– –”.
ON : sequential illumination – – : sequential illumination cancelled
The setting toggles between “ON” and “– –” each time
the trip knob is pressed.
Return the REV setting knob to its original position to
complete the setting process. The buzzer will sound
briefly. A few seconds later, the ambient temperature
gauge will return to showing the ambient temperature.
NOTE
It is not possible to cancel sequential illumination
of the combination meter while sequential illumi-
nation is actually taking place. Cancel sequential
illumination when regular illumination (for driving)
has begun. !

ing a shutdown. "When the actual ambient temperature falls outside
the specified indicator range.Warning and indicator lights
Several of the warning and indicator lights come on
momentarily and then go out when the ignition switch
is initially turned to the “ON” position. This permits
checking the operation of the bulbs.
Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position. The following lights come on:
Seatbelt warning light
SRS airbag system warning light
CHECK ENGINE warning light/Malfunction indica- tor lamp
Charge warning light
Oil pressure warning light
AT OIL temperature warning light (AT vehicles)ABS warning light
Brake system warning light
If any lights fail to come on, it indicates a burned-out
bulb or a malfunction of the corresponding system.
Consult your authorized SUBARU dealer for repair. ! Seatbelt warning light and chime
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position,
the seatbelt warning light will come on and the remind-
er chime will sound for about six seconds to remind the

fore become somewhat harder to control. If the brake system warning light and ABS warning
light illuminate simultaneously, take the following
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe, flat place.
2. Shut down the engine, then restart it.
3. Release the parking brake. If both warning lights go
out, the EBD system may be faulty. Drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the system in-
spected.
4. If both warning lights come on again and stay illu-
minated after the engine has been restarted, shut
down the engine again, apply the parking brake, and
check the brake fluid level.
5. If the brake fluid level is not below the “MIN” mark,
the EBD system may be faulty. Drive carefully to the
nearest SUBARU dealer and have the system inspect-
ed.
6. If the brake fluid level is below the “MIN” mark, DO
NOT drive the vehicle. Instead, have the vehicle towed
to the nearest SUBARU dealer for repair. !Door open warning lights
The door open warning light comes on if any door or
the rear gate is not fully closed.
Always make sure this light is out before you start to drive. !
Front-wheel drive warning light
(for AT vehicles – if equipped)
This light comes on when All Wheel Drive is disen-
gaged and the drive mechanism is switched to Front
Wheel Drive for maintenance or similar purposes. ! Intercooler water spray warning
light (WRX-STi)
This light comes on when the water level in the inter-
cooler water spray tank falls to the lower limit (about
0.4 U.S. qt, 0.4 liter, 0.4 Imp qt.).
