ECU SUBARU IMPREZA 2004 2.G Owner's Manual

1-54
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
es) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at
all times in a child restraint device or in a seat-
belt, whichever is appropriate for the child’s
age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (in-
cluding forward facing child seats) in the REAR
seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seat-
ing positions than in the front seating posi-
tions.
For instructions and precautions concerning
the child restraint system, see the “Child re-
straint systems” section in this chapter. "
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO
CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG." Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on
the front passenger’s seat, or never hold a child
on your lap or in your arms. The SRS airbag de-
ploys with considerable force and can injure or
even kill the child.
" When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke
will be released. This smoke could cause
breathing problems for people with a history of
asthma or other breathing trouble. If you or
your passengers have breathing problems after
SRS airbag deploys, get fresh air promptly." A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Oc-
cupants could get burnt if they come into direct
contact with the hot gas.
NOTE
When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain
to the buyer that it is equipped with SRS airbags
by alerting him to the applicable section in this
owner’s manual.

NOTE
Make sure that you do not leave the key inside the
vehicle before locking the doors from the outside
using power door locking switches.Remote keyless entry system
Two transmitters are provided for your vehicle.
The remote keyless entry system has the following
functions. "
Locking and unlocking the doors (and rear gate on
the wagon) without a key " Sounding a panic alarm
" Arming and disarming the security system (if your
vehicle is equipped with an optional security system).
See the next section “Security system (if equipped)”
for detailed information.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Oper- ation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The operable distance of the keyless entry system is
approximately 30 feet (10 meters). However, this dis-
tance will vary depending on environmental condi-

Keys and doors
1) Positive (+) side facing up
4. Replace with a new battery (Type CR2032 or
equivalent) making sure to install the new battery with
the positive (+) side facing up.
5. Install the back half of the transmitter case.
6. Reinstall the two screws on the back of the trans-
mitter case. After the battery is replaced, the transmitter must
be synchronized with the keyless entry system’s
control unit. Press either the “LOCK/ARM” or “UN- LOCK/DISARM” button six times to synchronize
the unit.
" Do not let dust, oil or water get on or in the
transmitter when replacing the battery. " Be careful not to damage the printed circuit
board in the transmitter when replacing the bat-
tery.
! 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 security
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 transmit-
ter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the
same or different.1

1) Press any button.
3. Press and release any button on the transmitter
that you wish to program into the system. The horn will
sound two times to indicate that the transmitter has
been programmed.
Any additional transmitters can also be programmed
at this time. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for an additional
transmitter.
To exit the programming mode:
1. After all of your transmitters are programmed, re-
move the key from the ignition switch.
The horn will sound three times to indicate that the system has exited the programming mode.
2. Make sure that the keyless entry system properly
operates by operating each transmitter. !
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 transmitter’s code re-
mains in the memory. For security reasons, lost trans-
mitter codes should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four trans-
mitter codes into the system. If you have only one cur-
rent transmitter, program it four times. If you have two
current transmitters, program each one twice. If you
have three current transmitters, program two of them
once and the third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in the system’s memo-ry.
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 transmitters, it is possible that
their transmitter code will be programmed into
your system, allowing them unauthorized access

into the ignition switch. !
System operation
The security system will give the following alarm indi-
cations when triggered:" The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor will
not operate." The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again. The alarm will continue for six times
if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: " Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk lid.
" Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g.
